A friend of mine told me once that she had a special surprise in mind for a roll of film she was shooting. She left me in the dark about what exactly it was for about a week until the roll was completed and she showed me the results. The photos were all bathed in […]

5 Frames… Of portraits with an industrial vibe on Japan Camera Hunter Streetpan 400 (35mm / EI 200 / Canon AE-1 + FD 50mm f/1.8)
The guys at my local camera shop seem to always have some new film to recommend! The most recent thing that was new in stock was Japan Camera Hunter Streetpan 400. I wasn’t familiar with it at all, but after being shown a few sample images, I decided to take a roll and test it […]
5 Frames… Testing a Canon AE-1 on Kodak Portra 400 (35mm Format / EI 125 / Canon AE-1 + FD 70-210mm f/4)
“Miss Kozun, you look fantastic! Love the outfit” … “Thanks! It was either this or I was going to be wearing a giraffe onesie all day!” Oh, 2020, what a strange year you have been! Thankfully with only a few days left, Kristi and I managed to squeeze in a little respite of normal and […]
5 Frames… At home ILFORD Ortho PLUS (35mm Format / EI 80 / Canon AE-1 + Canon 50mm f/1.8)
At the beginning of 2020 I got my hands on the then newly released 35mm ILFORD Ortho PLUS. It was the first low speed black and white that I had shot, as I’d previously been shooting HP5 PLUS or Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed 2-stops to EI 1600. I found that pushing black and white gave […]
My first roll… Of 35mm film – Kodak Tri-X 400
I’m not 100% sure that this is my very first roll, but based on the crap technique and some of the subjects, I’m pretty certain that if it’s not the first roll, it’s not far off. I took a couple of photography classes in high-school and saved most of the negatives and a few of […]
EMULSIVE interview #214: I am Ejatu Shaw and this is why I shoot film
I first came across today’s interviewee back in December 2019 after she posted a video messing around with Kodak Gold in Barcelona. Thanks to that quick DM and ensuing chat, I’ve finally been able to get her to grace these pages as interviewee #214. Ladies and gents, this is Ejatu Shaw. Hi Ejatu, what’s this […]
EMULSIVE interview #207: I am George Quiroga and this is why I shoot film
Up for this week’s fresh EMULSIVE interview slot is George Quiroga who has been out there catching light for over 50 years — above ground and underwater. There’s some great reading below and suitably fantastic photography to boot. So with that, it’s over to George… Hi George, what’s this picture, then? Under Cover – Canon […]
Research: is there really a difference between real and simulated film photographs?
To answer this question, I researched the foundations of film and digital photography; and which factors can influence the style of the results for my bachelor thesis.
5 Frames… With Psychedelic Blues (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon AE-1)
Psychedelic Blues Film is a line of experimental rolls of Kodak Ultra Max hand-fogged by photographer Dustin Adams and sold through his online shop. Each batch is unique and every roll contains an element of unpredictability.
EMULSIVE interview #190: I am Simon Riddell and this is why I shoot film
Based in the Scottish Highlands, today’s interviewee gets about a bit, and I don’t just mean island hopping in the Scottish seas.

Welcome to this week’s EMULSIVE interview, featuring the thoughts and photography of Chris Wood, recent convert (is that the right phrase?), to film photography.
Over to you, Chris
What’s this picture, then?

It’s one of my happiest
