(Updated 4th edition 2022)
Analog photography is currently enjoying a steady increase in popularity, and so I am very pleased to be able to offer the 4th edition of my book here.
This book is intended for all those who either want to get started with film-based black and white photography from scratch, or those who, after years of digital abstinence, long for the smell of photochemicals, the atmospheric red light and the feel of handmade black and white prints.
The moment the film is taken out of the developing tank, the second the image first appears on the paper: here you can feel the magical fascination that analog photography still holds. With its wide variety of shooting and processing materials, it offers numerous creative possibilities for influencing the final image.
This book helps you set up your own photo lab, covers the practical basics of darkroom work, provides an overview of currently available black and white film types, photographic papers, lab chemicals and techniques, and guides you step by step. From exposed film to finished print. Numerous tips from years of personal experience should help to ensure that getting started is easy and as free as possible from discouraging failures.
