In our digital age, film photography can appear to be expensive and risky but it has challenged me to learn the process involved in taking a photo that captures my intent and tells a story, creating a real sense of achievement.

A dark legacy

It wasn’t until the end that I could feel it becoming cohesive. I started out with a relatively easy goal. Take some basic street photos of Salem, Massachusetts and document how much it comes to life during Halloween.
Salem is best known for the witch trials that took place in 1692. Many people were wrongly accused of being witches an...
Today in our 8th Behind the Film interview we talk to Mike Bain. One of our longer serving team members, Mike started in our tech team and now looks after North America. He has probably forgotten more about film photography and darkroom printing than some of us will ever learn!

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.

So many choices for today's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme of #framedfilm. We love days like this when it takes a while to pick our favourites. You made choosing just five very difficult so we may have cheated slightly!

Melanie King was first introduced to us by Lucy Ridges, and since then we have heard her name mentioned from several different people. It was fantastic to be able to learn a little more about her when she agreed to take part in this series.
