Reflections on the Materiality of Film, with PANF Plus in the Montana Snow
Snow is a beautiful subject for ILFORD PANF Plus. Thankfully my quiet mountain town of Bozeman, Montana, USA—has lots of snow, and I have lots of PANF film. As snow can be such an intricate and momentary subject, it makes an appropriate subject for reflecting on the material and time-conscious process of creating an analog image.
I recently returned to film photography after a ten-year hiatus. I’ve been delighted to again...
Earlier this year in our interview with Walter Rothwell, he nominated Kris to take part in this series. We're so glad that he did. Enjoy!

One of my recent favourite images is this portrait of 3 young men taken on the streets of Birmingham UK. It was one of the first outings in the city post-lockdown and I wanted to really get back into a stride with my personal photography on the streets. With ...
Cabin Fever
Tired of COVID 'cabin fever' I needed to get out shooting so I concocted a mission to shoot a total of 36 acceptable shots in a 2 day time frame. Day one would be 12 6x6's and the second would be 35mm for 24 shots... fingers crossed.
I decided to shoot b&w film. This would not have been my choice a few years ago but the plethora of digital imagery has turned me off to the point where I'm re appreciating the disciplined 'analogue' mind set. I just flat out love and respect the w...

The beauty inside
I am not someone that has been stared at and called beautiful by strangers. People do not look at me and see me as who I am. First glances always lead to a double take and a look of disgust, anger and confusion. When people see me, they don’t attempt to change their perspective and see the beauty inside of me. This kind of experience, existing in a world that doesn’t believe that you have the right to do so, shows up in a lot of my work. Most of my life I have been told that the world...

I have many beautiful prints from an Ilford negative. One Ilford film that always interests me is the Ortho 80. Being less sensitive in the reds it renders reds as dark or sometimes black giving interesting results. This is a print of a light switch in my home. The light was casting an interesting shadow across the wall. The black area is a shadow from a picture frame. It’s so simple but I jus...

It’s so hard to pick a favorite image but I will let recency prevail and select a recent top favourite image that made it into my photo book “Notice”. I photographed a giant leaf in a suburban backyard in beautifu...
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!

My name is Mike Bain and I am the Harman technology rep for North America. I have been with the company for 33 years.

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...
We had no idea when we originally started this series in April 2020 with Em from Emulsive that it would still be going strong 50 interviews later. This week's interviewee Debra Wilson was already on our radar before being nominated by Margaret Fitzgerald last month.
