I'm a full-time portrait/commercial photographer. In the last 2 years, I've slowly migrated almost my entire workflow to film. I'm currently living on a sailboat on the Pacific Ocean, shooting and developing aboard.

5 Frames… Of island life on Kodak Gold 200 (35mm Format / EI 200 / Leica M4-2)

by Ryan HKOctober 12, 2020July 31, 2021

Photographic film prices have been on a steady climb in Canada for the last few years. Not a reasonable climb, either. Some of my go-to emulsions have gone up as much as 30-40% at local retailers in the last year alone. It’s now cheaper to purchase colour film from the US and ship it up […]

5 Frames… Working within limitations: Long exposures at the Concours d’Elegance

by Ryan HKSeptember 12, 2020July 31, 2021

I’ve always loved classic cars… I had a 1966 Mustang for a number of years, but I sold it to get the down payment on my first house. I still go to car shows once in a while and usually bring a film camera along to rip through a roll or two. It’s probably considered […]

How-to: Light portraits on film using LEDs + ideas for all budgets

by Ryan HKAugust 30, 2020July 31, 2021

Like anything in life, it’s important to choose the right tool for the job. When it comes to shooting portraits you can choose strobes or constant lights for your lighting. In this article, I’ll chat a little bit about my workflow for portraits with photographic film and why I choose a certain light type for […]

Fairchild K-20: the making of a meaningful portrait

by Ryan HKAugust 16, 2020July 31, 2021

A friend of mine gave me some 4×5 film a while back. It was originally purchased by her dad in 1979, who at the time was a professional photographer. He used mainly 120 medium format and 4×5 film for his work in that era, but did a ton of aerial work on a Fairchild K-20. […]

5 Frames… Of black and white Fuji 8573/500T in Rodinal with a Leica M4-2

by Ryan HKJuly 15, 2020July 31, 2021

I had a 400ft reel of expired 8572 kicking around the boat, and decided to load 100ft into cassettes to start shooting. I’ve heard horrendous stories of expired Fuji cine films just not holding up like their Kodak Vision counterparts… But, I got a great deal on this reel and figured it was worth testing […]

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS pulled 3-stops (EI 50 / 35mm format / Leica M4-2)

by Ryan HKJuly 7, 2020July 31, 2021

My “go-to” B&W film in all formats that I shoot these days seems to be ILFORD HP5 PLUS. I actually didn’t really enjoy it all that much when I started shooting film. I was a Pan F 50 kinda shooter, then I discovered Fuji’s NEOPAN 100 ACROS and when that disappeared I went to Delta […]

My First Roll… Of 120 film: ILFORD HP5 PLUS on a Mamiya RB67 at Palm Springs Air Museum

by Ryan HKJuly 2, 2020July 31, 2021

A return to film. Again… For the fourth time. Yep, FOUR TIMES. I learned on film, eventually abandoned for digital due to work, got bored of digital and went back to film, got a digital Hasselblad, got obsessed with pixel-peeping and left film. Sold the ‘Blad, picked up a shitty Kiev 88 for $60 with […]

5 Frames… With Kodak VISION 500T 5279 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Leica M4-2)

by Ryan HKJanuary 30, 2020July 31, 2021

I’ve shot all sorts of colour film… Actually, I quite enjoy shooting colour – but I loathe the costs usually associated with it unless you’re shooting Fujicolor C200, Kodak Gold 200, or other little consumer emulsions (which I have to say, I love Gold 200). I had yet to jump into the “cinema emulsions” realm. […]
