The idea came to me after searching for companies to have a photobook made. I wanted something of the highest quality. Something that had the physical feel of Photographs: Annie Leibovtiz 1970-1990, or Helmut Newton Portraits. Two beautifully printed books that happened to be sitting in the community darkroom I own. After searching the internet for hours and looking at reviews and products of various companies, I was no further along to making a selection than when I started. My mind wandered as I stared at...
This week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme of #alienfilm was inspired events 50 years ago when by Apollo XI landed the 1st human on the moon. We thought this was a tough one but you obviously disagreed!

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

Our 57th In Focus interview is with Simon Smars from Stockholm who is a professional fine art photographer. Simon works exclusively with limited edition handmade black and white silver gelatin fiber prints, using traditional darkroom techniques. He creates a mixture of minimalistic scapes paired with a melancholic somber, with scenes often stripped to its bare essence.

Concrete Photography
Brutalism as a style has received bad press. When we first hear the term, we all feel a logical rejection. The handbooks go on to explain that it comes from the French term béton brut, although the inventors of the term undoubtedly played on confusion, leaving an after-taste of je m’en fous, of bloody-mindedness, not giving a damn, in short. As a movement, as an a...
I Instantly Fell In Love
My photography journey began while I was studying graphic design. My course tutor handed me a camera & a roll of ILFORD HP5+, and sent me out, with no real brief, to ‘take some pictures’. Armed with a macro lens I roamed around the cities’ botanical gardens and became lost in a close-up world of symmetrical patterns, found in the plant life. When I returned, with my roll of film, to the photography department darkroom, I instantly fell in love with the process and the res...

My camera is a passport to a world of amazing discoveries
My adventures began as a five year old. I started spending wondrous times with my dad in the quiet glow of his darkroom. I took great pride with my responsibility to gently rock the prints in the hypo tray. Ah, the sound of gurgling water and the warm orange glow from the safe lights. I was totally enthralled by seeing an image come alive in the developing tray...pure alchemy! It comes as no surprise when I say I frequently retreat to this magical z...
So, from the official ILFORD Photo website:
It’s wide exposure latitude makes it a great choice for beginners, those returning to film as well as the more experienced professional users.
With wide exposure latitude, ILFORD says that you can meter HP5+ from 400 to 3200 ISO1. Great, it's like you have it all in one roll, which is exactly why I love this thing so much. It can handle sunny days and midnight shots, of course, depending on which ISO you tell your camera (or hand-held light meter) you have th...
