Sharing my skills
I’ve recently started working as a lecturer on BTEC and HND photography courses at Swindon College. A job which I’m enjoying immensely. Teaching was something I’d never considered before, until I started helping friends who were studying on the same BA Photography course as me. I enjoyed helping them but most of all I enjoyed seeing them understand and use the skills that I’d shown them.
I now teach mainly 16 – 20-year-olds, which is enormously satisfying. Watching thei...
#ilfordfridayfavourites #storytelling
We shook things up a little with this weeks #ilfordfridayfavourites by asking you to tell us a story with a single frame. There were so many good entries, it was difficult to choose, but we have eventually settled on these as our favourites.

Thank You
Thank you to everybody that took the time to enter our #ilfordxmas competition this year. We're really looking forward to getting the finished Christmas cards back from our printer.
There were so many images to choose from, and they ranged from traditional Christmas scenes to some that were a little more unusual.
You can see the winning image and those that made the final shortlist here

Going digital
If we go back to 2002 a close photographic friend convinced me (against my better judgement) that film was a thing of the past, and that to hold my own in the professional photographic world I had to go digital. Eventually I succumbed to his argument and traded in my Leica film cameras (I had 4) and started on the dizzy road to digital photography.
In those days some fifteen years ago I thought it would be just like changing film brands: OK it may take a bit of getting used to a different ...
Thank you
What a fantastic year! We've seen film usage increase again, with more people than ever either picking up a film camera for the first time, or re-discovering their love for shooting film. We're really excited to see what next year brings.
A huge thank you to everyone who shares #ilfordfilm images with us on our social media streams. We love seeing what you are shooting with our films and chatting to you on Twitter / Facebook and Instagram.
We have lots of exciting plans for 2018, including ...
We didn't set a theme for our first #ilfordfridayfavourites of this year, instead we've had fun browsing through the huge variety of images that you shoot using our film.
Below are just a small selection of some that caught our attention.
@AdyKerry One of the first pictures I took on my #Pentax67 with 135mm f4 at the Hockey World Cup 2014, using HP5. #believeinfilm

A medium for the moment
I always travel with my 35mm SLR and a stack of Ilford HP5 and Ilford FP4 film. I definitely prefer the look and process of shooting film when traveling and photographing on the street and I find my small SLR with it’s 50mm lens is small and inconspicuous enough to capture intimate street portraits. Shooting everything on the same 50mm lens and film medium gives my work a consistent look and feel. I have always found shooting film slows down my process, it forces me to think mor...
