Analogue film photography is a traditional method of capturing images using a camera with light-sensitive film and a chemical development process to create a physical negative or print.
Unlike digital photography, where you can snap countless photos for free, each click of a film camera comes with a cost—from the price of the film itself to its development. This cost implication encourages the film photographer to slow down and consider every shot with greater intention.
You can lower the cost of film with the many new budget film stocks, re-spooled cinema stocks and Out - of Date films. All can lead to some incredible creative results and significant savings.
We supply two of the best brands right here: Ilford for Black and White and Kodak for Colour Negative. But one of the best parts of film photography is to discover all the wonderful and varied film stocks now on the market.
Online labs and High street Camera Shops. We recommend the following...
Nik & Trick - Cool little camera shop on the Kent coast.
Analogue Wonderland - The UK's biggest selection of film and developing options.
No, it's really easy!!
It is hard to get anything really good, and that's the fun. The unpredictable nature of film, is where the magic happens. You never truly know what you've captured until the film is processed. This element of surprise is the very thing that makes film photography so captivating and, at times, frustrating. It's this unique blend of control and chance that you'll come to love and hate.
This is a major problem as the film is sensitive to light and most probably fogged and ruined. It's definitely not recommended but, I do know some photographers who have accidentally fogged films and photographic papers and had amazing results from these happy accidents.
If you're buying a film camera, check that it's been professionally checked or film tested. Ideally it has new light seals fitted and you have the ability to return it to the seller if you're not entirely happy. That Mamiya 7 MK2 you see on ebay is cheap for a reason!!
A darkroom is a lightproof room used for developing photographic film and printing photographs. It can be used for Colour or Black & White, but has a stronger association with Black & White hand printing. Want to try out a Community Darkroom? Ilford Photos - Find a Darkroom near you.
