My new project, “Devotion” takes its inspiration from my newfound love and commitment to my hometown, Hawaii. The series invites the viewer to see Hawaii through my lens as I revisit memories from my youth, collaborate with the new wave of creatives, and explore the deep relationships we have with one another and our community.

One of the things that I love about film photography is how the decisions you make have an impact on the final image — choice of camera, lens, film stock, and developer as well as how you decide to apply these elements give us creative control over the final outcome.  The same logic applies to […] The article 510 Pyro.

On a sunny day in July 2022 while walking through Spitalfields market in London I spied a group of people in the distance. It was then I heard the mellifluous tones I would later come to recognise as music to Tango to. It was, for me at least, a dream come true. I could get […] The article Tango Dancers, Or the story of how I made a zine first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more

This story goes all the way back to 2001 when I went on a vacation in the beautiful Salento region of southern Italy. That time I not only met and fell in love with my wife, but I also fell in love with the beautiful villages, landscapes and charismatic people of this region.

In 1940, a book by Thomas Wolfe titled You Can’t Go Home Again was published posthumously. The title has become a famous saying, the meaning of which indicates (to many), that while you can return to the place where you grew up, things will always have changed to the extent that they become unrecognizable, that […] The article Going home again… and leaving with the big sky (on Kodak Portra 400) first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more

ILFORD XP2 Super often gets a bad rap, as did the C41 B&W offerings from Fuji and Kodak before they were canned. I started shooting it while home from university for holidays and summers, since I could get it inexpensively and easily processed near my parents’ house rather than bringing the exposed film back to […] The article 5 Frames… Of canals, locks, floodgates, sluices, and levees on ILFORD XP2 Super (35mm / EI 320 + Y48 Filter / Nikon F3 + MD-4 / 50mm 1.2 AI-s) – by Patrick Gillin first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more

The 1950s saw the release of the Ansco Speedex 4.5 Special, a 6×6 folding camera made in Germany and sold by Ansco and Agfa under the names Speedex and Isolette. The camera lineup offered a range of models with diverse lens and shutter configurations to suit different budgets. As a piece of photographic equipment, the […] The article 5 Frames… Of Kodak Plus-X Professional 125 / 120 / EI 50 / Ansco Speedex 4.5 Special + Agfa Solinar 85mm f/4.5) – by Rodolfo E.

I don’t remember when it started, but at some point in the last five years, I began using photography as a means to explore a place. I believe that with photography, one is always getting to know new areas, or at the very least getting new perspectives on old areas, but it isn’t always with […] The article 5 Frames… In my room on ILFORD XP2 Super (35mm format / EI 400 / Leica M4 + Summicron 5cm f/2) – by Simón Ducos first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more

I got bit by the RA-4 reversal bug a few weeks back, diving deep into chemistry, filtration, processing, and rinsing (more on the rinsing a bit later). The RA-4 development process is used to produce a color print on (you guessed it) color paper in the darkroom. In this article, I cover my RA-4 reversal […] The article My RA-4 reversal journey: Shooting and processing colour paper negatives first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more

No, this ode is not about the camera, lens and film mentioned in the headline and shown in the photo below. The praises of NEOPAN 100 ACROS film, the „F“ and the Micro-Nikkor have been proclaimed in countless other contributions on this site and on many others. This is more about a device that lends […] The article 5 Frames… As an ode to unsung photography heroes (Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS / 35mm format / EI 100 / Nikon F + Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8) first appeared on EMULSIVE.org ..read more
