#calm
We've had a lovely relaxing morning looking at your #ilfordphoto #calm images. We believe that black & white film helps to enhance the sense of tranquility on an already serene shot. These are our favourites this week.
@gatogatogato Taken with a Zenza Bronica. The slow and peaceful process of taking a photo all manually in a calm forest, then going home and developing the film is my perfect „calm experience“. #ilforddelta3200

DELTA Professional films
What a fantastic week for black and white film images. Thank you for sharing all of your shots on #Deltafilm with us.
DELTA PROFESSIONAL films use the latest Core-Shell™ film emulsion technology which give them the advantage of a lower grain to speed ratio. This means that you get less grain at the equivalent speed when compared to PLUS films presenting a slightly cleaner, sharper look. We've really enjoyed choosing our favourites this week.

An Interest in Large Format
Large format is an immensely rewarding and enjoyable way to make a photograph. It can also feel overwhelming when you’re just starting out, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. This article is for anyone with an interest in large format.
I got into 4x5 because I wanted to challenge myself, and to try something new. Over the last two years it has become my favourite way to take a photograph. There’s something special about slowing down and being so deliberate with each...
For the love of it all
I’ve always had a love affair with black and white photography. I don’t know if it stems from the excitement of watching my first print emerge under the glow of a safelight, or that using texture and shape can make a barren scene look beautiful. Maybe it’s both.
They say love makes you a better person. I think the same goes for the relationship between film and photographers.
Trust & Understanding
There’s a certain level of trust and understanding that goes on betwee...
I am a wedding and portrait photographer. The following portrait is of Roshni, a jewelry designer. Her designs are handcrafted and have a vintage feel to them. So, when the opportunity came to shoot her I wanted to create something classic and real. One look at her and I was convinced about black and white being the choice of film.
