Rule breaker The chemigram process allows any photographer to be experimental, free and a little bit of a rule breaker. As a photographer who is passionate about the traditional printing process, I was always taught that my prints should be clean and crisp. So, coming across a process that allows you to be messy, hands on and experimental makes me feel like a child again. My wonderful friend introduced me to this technique and I have been completely blown away by the atmosphere you can create. Also, thi...

Time to go green? As the threat of the climate crisis grows each day - we must strive for sustainability in all aspects of life. But when standing atop a cliff shakily clutching your 5x4 camera, or working under the red light of your local darkroom - sustainability can seem like a distant concern, reserved for those in stuffy offices or holding placards outside of parliament. As analogue photography has always been eager to embrace innovation in the face of change - is it time to go green? My name is...

I'm sure that many of us have taken a shot and then once we've processed it spotted something or someone that we didn't realise was in frame when we took it. It's these moments that we asked you to share with us today for #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #unexpected. @PapaShittyCams Replying to @ILFORDPhoto I did a double exposure roll of Ilford HP5 Plus using two different cameras & got this triptych of @SammishSquare   #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #unexpected   @imjkunst Sometimes th...

Honest storytelling In the beginning of my journey with documentary photography, I fell in love with the raw, unique, and honest storytelling that film provided. Being a new wide eyed film enthusiast, the easiest way for me to jump into the pool of analogue would be with 35mm film. With 36 exposures, I was allowed the bandwidth to explore and experiment at an affordable price, that didn't break the bank, and allowed me to find myself as a visual journalist with the allotted exposures allowed. Mediu...

Melanie King was first introduced to us by Lucy Ridges, and since then we have heard her name mentioned from several different people.

This photograph was produced when my collective, Lumen Studios, ran an...

There are so many of Ari's images that we have admired over the past 12 months so asking him to take part in this series was an easy decision. We're just glad that he said yes! Section 1 - Background Share your favourite image / print shot on ILFORD film and tell us what it means to you? As we age, time becomes more and more valuable. Every new second is a bigger portion of our future life than the one before. Time is the only thing we cannot buy more of, but we can freeze it with photography. A photog...

Connection Over a Century Hanna Heinilä (née Hermonen, 1890–1981) was born to a vicar’s family in the small town of Luvia on the west coast of what at the time was the Grand Duchy of Finland. She had her first camera in around 1906 when she was sixteen years old and began photographing without any formal education. She bought dry-plate glass negatives from the nearby towns and learned to develop them at home by herself. Nothing was known of Hanna’s extensive work as an early photography pion...
