5 Frames… Of my daughter a few weeks before harvest in Tirora on Fuji C200 (35mm Format / EI 200 Canon FTB QL + Canon 50mm f/1.4)
Hi, I’m Prabhahar Raja from India. I see myself as a passionate photographer although my profession is nowhere related to that passion. I have been into portrait photography for a few years now with my Fujifilm XH1 but the most interesting part in my photographic journey is, I have gotten into film photography. I have…

5 Frames… Of Type 103 H-Alpha Kodak Spectroscopic Film with a Canon EF + Canon FD 50mm f1.8 SC (35mm Format / EI 100)
I received a 100-foot roll of fifty-one year old Type 103 H Kodak Spectrographic Film in June 2020. Like the 1978 Canon EF with stock 50mm lens I used to shoot it, it was a gift. Having a reputation for loving old cameras and weird film means that sometimes people you barely know will send…

5 Frames… In Lima, Peru on Kodak Portra 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Canon AE-1 Program + Canon FD 50mm f/1.8)
My mother cranked out family photos that would feel as at home in a gallery as they do in their cardboard box in the attic. If she never took a certain portrait of me in a diaper, cowboy boots, a ten-gallon hat, and a badge, the world might have forgotten how good of a sheriff…

5 Frames… Of trichromes with ILFORD FP4 PLUS (35mm Format / EI 125 / Canon EOS 1n + Canon EF 24mm f/2.8)
When my local Max Spielmann closed for lockdown, I lost my go-to for colour film processing. I couldn’t face going cold turkey, and haven’t got the sous-vide needed for colour processing at home. I can process black and white film though. So I started making trichromes. A trichome is a colour photograph made from three…

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm Format / El 800 / Canon FTb QL + Canon FD 50mm f/1.8)
2020 has been a tough year. The shutdown brought on by Covid-19 put a damper on a lot of things we all love, most importantly, street photography. On a personal level, my fiancé and I were forced to make the impossible decision to postpone our wedding in early July. However, as time went on new…

5 Frames… Of the apocalypse that never came (Holga 400 / 35mm Format / EI 400 / Canon A1)
I panicked. A couple of months ago, I saw the apocalypse coming, and I ordered about $500 of film. I mostly bought film stocks I’d never shot before and then stocked up on some basics, like Kodak Gold 200, Fujicolor Pro 400H, Kodak Tri-X, that kind of thing. Along with those, I also bought a…

5 Frames of Seattle and the surrounds on ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm / EI 400 / NIKON F100)
I came about photography as a teenager. I bought an old Canon TX from a pawn shop and used the most inexpensive black and white film I could get. When I got back into photography about eight to nine years ago, I wanted to relearn everything about film and developing that I had forgotten. I…

5 Frames… Of the 2020 Montreal International Women’s Day march on ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 800 / 35mm Format / Canon F-1 Montreal 1976 Olympics edition)
One of the main reasons I decided to start shooting film was time. I feel film photography embodies a must-needed break from the frantic times we’re living (at least pre-coronavirus-wise). Composing, light metering, focusing… plus developing, scanning. Photographic film is a test to your patience, and, in the end, a great boost to your creative…

72 frames per roll: The surprisingly sharp Canon SURE SHOT MULTI TELE
I’ve enjoyed shooting half frame 35mm film photography for quite some time now. Of course, being a broke college student, the thought of 72 photos in a roll is quite intriguing. However, it’s not all about the money; I feel that this “abundance” of shots also provides a new perspective when walking around and shooting.…

5 Frames… Building a cabin in Texas on Kentmere 400 (EI 400 / 35mm Format / Canon EOS A2)
I returned to film photography in 2017 after more than a decade long break. My gear is a mixture of Mamiya (6×6, 6×4.5) and Canon (35mm). My partner, who shoots digital today, used this Canon EOS A2 as his primary camera from the mid-1990s until 2006. After I had spent a year focused on technique…

Trying out night photography with Kodak Tri-X 400 at EI 1600
I love street photography, though I don’t consider myself a great photographer neither a master but I really enjoy shooting film. My work as an interiors and boudoir photographer is of course 100% digital and does not leave me much time for my personal projects and I almost forgot the pleasure I feel each time…

Embracing accidents: An unexpected double exposure collaboration
Since my return to film photography, I made the decision that I wanted to document what life uncovered for me in terms of experiences, memories and moments and store them on a medium that lasts forever. In Summer 2019 I met Lynn, a junior colorist for one of my projects who turned out to be…

Canon Demi EE17: The everyday diptych machine
There are many cameras out there that take standard 35mm film and expose alternative formats for creative effect. The Noblex’s literally sweeping panoramas, the Nishika N8000’s 3D gifs, and the Lomography Pop’s 9 frame pop-art “explosions” all have their appeal, but they all share the same problem: their form factor and results are too niche…

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…

5 Frames… Of Bethmoora on ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Canon EOS-1V HS)
I know the drummer of the Danish heavy metal band Bethmoora. In October 2019 they were performing at the legendary concert venue…

5 Frames… Of Baltimore’s East Side with Fomapan 400 Action (EI 320 / 35mm format / Canon A-1)
This particular day another photographer and I met up to wander around Baltimore’s East Side to take photos in different neighborhoods.

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon EOS 1000FN)
Hearing good things about FujiFilm Fujicolor Pro 400H, I thought I’d get involved. I’d be using the camera body of Canon EOS 1000FN, which was big in the early ’90s. The camera seems sturdy and reliable, I tend to overexpose by one stop, as I think the light meter may have deteriorated over the past…

5 Frames… Of mewithoutYou on Kodak T-MAX P3200 (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Canon Canonet G-III QL17)
When my favorite band — Philadephia’s mewithoutYou — came to town in Fall 2019 fall, I knew I wanted to shoot the concert with film. I’ve been going to punk rock shows since the mid-90s, but have only taken up film photography in earnest over the last year or so. For my first foray into…

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…

5 Frames… With Kodak T-MAX 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon 7)
This past summer, I became interested in Kodak T-MAX 400 in 35mm format. I was hoping for a film stock that was a little more contrasty than ILFORD Delta and less grainy than Tri-X 400. I also chose ISO 400 film rather than ISO 100 film because I wanted a film that would have a…
