Ensign All Distance “Twenty” The beginning of this year seems to be about boxes and bags. This camera came to me from a gifted box of stuff. Unlike the bag, this box really was a pile of junk cameras. The giver knew it and even said it, so I don't feel bad repeating it. The giver said he didn't…

Lee Miller fans - Free lecture coming up by Antony Penrose (Lee’s son). 👇👇👇 www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/lee...

I'm almost coming out the other side of my massive 20 year digital life back up... Here's one that feels about right... With a lens I rarely use these days Canon 70-200L f4 & Canon 5D III. #photography

Interesting read from Deborah. 👇 I'd not known of her before. What an incredible woman photographer. Thanks for highlighting.

Ventured to the Lee Miller exhibition again today (At which point do I hit stalker status? 🤔) Then hit a charity shop and picked this book up. In it is this pic… And there is Lee wearing the uniform that I just saw…

I may be some time… 😨 Still ploughing through hard drives trying to cross check and copy the archive of digital, phone and films scan photos. 🤪

One from the archives as I still have my head in digital file cleaning and back ups. It's so boring and I'm going out of my mind. 😵‍💫 📷 Ondu MF 6x9 pinhole 🎞️ Provia 100f #filmphotography #pinhole #fujiprovia

Tree trunk with graffitied heart. Results from the Praktica MTL5 and monolens. With @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ EI 200. Developed in Ilfotec HC 1+31. #shittycamerachallenge #filmphotography

Another Friday and a fresh set of #fridayfavourites for your enjoyment, (and ours).  There were a lot of botanical images shared with us this week. We love how plants, trees and flowers come out on our black and white films. https://ow.ly/Lwjf50Y1jmo#fridayfavourites Image @stargazinqly (IG)

'Rise' - which sits opposite the 'Wake Up' tree. (esp for @cliffrazzo.bsky.social 😊) Taken with a Bronica SQAi & @ilfordphoto.com HP5+ home developed in Ilfotec 1+31. #fridayfavourites #filmphotography #forestfriday

Did some prints to see how things are shaping with the recent ‘Being Eleven’ portraits. #printyourwork #portraitphotography

Spending hours today sorting backups… 😵‍💫 Forced myself out for a short wander in the woods with this now ancient Sony RX100 iii. I know what I’d rather.

A ‘cheeky’ mushroom morning. 🍄 😆

This was a welcome sight today ❤️ Does feel a bit earlier than usual.. #springtime

Amazing selection!! Thank you for including mine. 💚

My favourite from 2025 using @ilfordphoto.com film. This (I think) is going to be the cover of my next zine... Ilford Ortho+ 80 developed with Ilfotec HC 1+31. Taken with a Bronica SQAi & 80mm. #fridayfavourites #2025fave #filmphotography

Don't forget that we're looking for your favourite image from last year last taken with our films for this week's #fridayfavourites Share with us using the usual #fridayfavourites tag along with #2025fave and the film that you used https://www.ilfordphoto.com/friday-favourites-9th-january-2026/

The graffitied tree heart looked magnificent it the light today. I took some with the monolens on the Praktica for #shittycamerachallenge. Doesn’t look too bad (I hope.)

The zebra crossing. A happy accident with a double exposure created from one of the pinholes being open when I took the dark slide out. About a 12 second exposure. 📷 Ondu 4x5 Rise Pinhole Camera 🎞️ Fomapan 200 ⚗️ Bellini Euro HC 1+47 #pinhole #believeinfilm #largeformat

The sun has appeared. So getting out to grab some vitamin d. Taking this with me for some #shittyCameraChallenge action. Ker-chunk… though a rather ‘sleek’ one. 😎

The result of the new mural being painted. 📷 Ondu 4x5 Rise Pinhole Camera 🎞️ Fomapan 200 ⚗️ Bellini Euro HC 1+47 #pinhole #believeinfilm #largeformat

Waking up the large format pinhole muscles from yesterday's wander. 📷 Ondu 4x5 Rise Pinhole Camera 🎞️ Fomapan 200 ⚗️ Bellini Euro HC 1+47 #pinhole #believeinfilm #largeformat

And to think I wasn’t going to leave the house today. I’d have missed these lovely opps. ❤️ #pinhole #believeinfilm

Not only 'print your work'... but HANG IT also. 😍👏

Doh!!! 2mins 40sec wasted as the dark slide went in ‘under’ the film sheet. 🤬🤬🤬 Oh well, welcome to large format photography and thank the gods it’s ‘only’ Fomapan b&w. #believeinfilm

Honestly glad I took the Ondu 4x5 pinhole to run errands earlier. It's like an A-list star. So many people stopped to talk to me. Including a lovely man with a real life parrot on his shoulder... We'll hopefully do a portrait session soon. 🤞 #believeinfilm #pinhole

I’ve loaded up my 4x5 holders with some Fomapan 200 that’s been chilling in the fridge for months on end. Not sure what to do with them… Any suggestions? 🤔 #believeinfilm

Yesterdays lunchtime walk carry. My first ‘proper’ camera. Still going strong after 20+ years. Canon EOS 300 & Kentmere 100. Managed to burn through all 36 frames. #believeinfilm

And here's the boy one... 'Being Eleven' A new portrait project (for my kids to hate me now, but love me all the more later.❤️) #believeinfilm #ClassicMono #mediumformat #ilfordphoto #orthoplus

Lee Miller’s Rolleiflex… And mine. ❤️ I discovered that my camera is actually older than Lee’s. #leemiller

At last I got to the #LeeMiller exhibition at Tate Britain ❤️ Throughly enjoyed it.

We got portraits… looking forward to scanning. Loving the contrast of the Ilford Ortho+. Developed in Bellini Euro HC. #believeinfilm #ilfordphoto

Happy New Year all. 🎉 I’m starting as I’m hoping to go on. One roll of @ilfordphoto.com Ortho plus done. Hoping kids don’t look too grumpy. 😏 #believeinfilm

'F' to you too. Random neighbourhood pics from the post Christmas strolls.

Kids know me well… ❤️ (It should be corrected to cameras… as that’s truth most of time! 🤣)

Stretching the legs on a local Boxing Day Walk... Keeping my sanity snapping pics if random windows.

Highlight of my day opening the secret Santa organised by @emulsivesanta.bsky.social (you guys are great 🤗) Thank you Markus from Austria. I love the gifts 🥰. #believeinfilm

No thanks John Lewis, I don’t need your plastic oversized fake 35mm can when I have the real thing. (Course if they have them 75% off come Boxing Day then maybe… 🤣) #believeinfilm

Forest observations from a new to me part of #eppingforest near Chingford. Haven't really created anything I'm happy with lately... hoping the festive season changes that. YashicaMat 124g and Kodak Gold 200. Developed in Bellini C41. #believeinfilm

One man and his dog waiting for the green man... 📷 Ondu Pinhole Camera MF 6x6 🎞️ @ilfordphoto.com PanF+ developed Ilfotec HC 1+47. #pinhole #believeinfilm

Another great loss for the photography world. 😢

Jeez I keep thinking today is Friday... I don't know why. Then I came across this cheeky image I made in Paris many years ago. It made me laugh. Thought I'd share. Happy Friday everyone.. wait no. 😜 #photography #paris
