5 Frames… With Kentmere 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon 7)
At the beginning of my experiments with black and white film, I tried almost all modern (and available) films from different manufacturers. It was great fun to try different combinations of films and developers, a lot of experience but over the time I became to realize that if you want to have a stable result,…

5 Frames… With Agfa Vista Plus 200 (EI 200 / 35mm format / Agfa Silette)
A while ago I went to a flea market here and there I saw this Agfa Silette camera. It was in decent condition. The man was asking for 50kn, I told him I’d buy it for 35 (about US$5) and we agreed. According to a serial number inside the camera it was produced in 1954.…

Film review: The magic of TMZ – Kodak T-MAX P3200
Have you ever wondered if magic is real or not? Well, I can tell you that it is, and somehow, Kodak has managed to harness that magic and stuff it into a small film canister for me to bewilder over. I have absolutely no idea how they did this but I’m so happy they did. Kodak T-MAX…

Book: Tim Heubeck’s “A place to be”
My name is Tim Heubeck and I am a photographer based in Germany. I run a website and Instagram channel; all under the name of wasteoffilm (links at the foot of this article). Photography, for me, is less about what the things we are familiar with look like and more about everything that lays under…

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Superia 100 (EI 100 / 120 format / Yashica-mat 124)
I was loading film in my Hasselblad on a street bench in Prague when an old man approached me. He used to be a professional photographer back in the day, and he was curious about my camera. Coincidentally, his freezer had died a few days before, and there were some 120 rolls that he was…

Embracing winter conditions in my film photography workflow
Winter 2018 was when I really buckled down and took black and white photography seriously, as a response to a few uninspiring grey-feeling colour rolls. I wanted to take command of that grey aesthetic, and quickly went through pushed ILFORD XP2 Super, Delta 3200 Professional, Delta 400 Professional, and even some SFX 200, looking to…

5 Frames… With Kodak Portra 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Konica Hexar RF)
These photos were shot on my last trip to Japan during the cherry blossom season. Japan held a special place in my heart and I have always wanted to capture its beauty on film, especially since acquiring the Konica Hexar RF months ago in mint condition. Previously I have shot Kodak Portra 400 alongside with…

Where to from here?
We (almost) all put ourselves on display via the many and varied social platforms with our photography, writings, podcasts and whatever else. We do this in the hope of gaining an audience that understands and appreciates our work and when it happens, it feels incredibly great… …but social platforms have all started to implement algorithms…

5 Frames… With ILFORD Delta 100 Professional (EI 100 / 35mm format / Canon A-1)
This young lady’s mother asked me several months back about shooting graduation photos. Despite not being a pro by any stretch of the word, I was confident that Olivia’s natural beauty would make up for some of my inexperience and that I already knew her well enough that we’d at least have fun shooting! We…

EMULSIVE interview #210: I am Carlos Lopez Medrano and this is why I shoot film
Welcome to 2020 here on EMULSIVE! I hope you all had a peaceful ringing in of the new year. For my part, I was in bed ten minutes after the fireworks finished. I’m pleased to be able to kick off the year off with my first film photographer interview of 2020: number 210 to be…

The Hypersensitive Podcast Episode 08.1: Motivation, stopping -ISM and powering the Matrix
Update: The sped-up version has been taken down 😉 Update: Approximately 0.5% of all listeners hated the “commute optimised” version of episode 8. It’s still up there for the enlightened but as a fallback, you can also get the “unoptimised” episode 8.1 as your own risk (link below). It had been four months since we…
