Film Photography Blog

On the 18th May we will celebrate our first year of trading!

So we have pulled together a full week of festivities. We will have the launch of NEW films and NEW brands; we will have FREEBIES and DISCOUNTS; and we will have a  mammoth GIVEAWAY...where one lucky analogue photographer will win a year's supply of film! Click here to find out how to enter

We are delighted to announce newly-negotiated parcel rates for UK customers! From today all our parcels will be sent TRACKED, with the options to pay extra for faster delivery. We have also lowered the free shipping threshold so that all UK orders over £50 will automatically qualify for FREE tracked delivery!

We love to learn about the story behind photographs - especially when they WON one of the Grand Prizes in our recent Low Light Magic competition! So when Ted Smith offered to write up the background to his photography and how he came to take the winning 'London by Night' photograph we jumped at the chance! Read more here...

Today is a massive moment: we announce the WINNERS of the Low Light Magic Competition in partnership with Kodak Alaris and with extra prizes donated by our friends at Digitalab! We want to thank everyone who submitted: over 500 images landed in our inbox over the month of the competition and they were exceptional.

Excitingly, Andy Church from Kodak Alaris was so impressed by the quality of the entries that he is offering TEN prizes in total! Adding eight 'Notable Mentions' to the original two Grand Prizes. Check out all the winning photos right here!

Our social media followers may have seen a recent collaboration with the artist (and personal friend!) Lauren Ray, where photographers can submit photos to feature in her next music video, as well as the chance to win analogue photography prizes! You can read more and enter your photos here. Today we talk to Lauren Ray and her videographer Jodie Canwell to understand more about the work they do and how they tie together audio and visuals into each of Lauren's music videos.

We are REALLY excited about this launch! The FPP are a true analogue establishment - with decades of film photography experience wrapped into a friendly and charming bundle of podcast conversation - and the films that Mike Raso hand-rolls has been on our store wishlist for months. Today we are delighted to be able to offer a core selection of those films to our customers, and to support the launch Mike kindly agreed to an interview.

Thank you to everyone who follows us on Instagram: there are now an incredible 10,000 of you and we wanted to do something a bit special to celebrate.

So we have set up a SAVE 30% discount code for the first ten people who redeem it at checkout!!

We expect the ten uses to go fast (NB: only one use per customer account) so don't wait to try and use!

Dubble Films are getting an update! This means 36 exposures per roll instead of 24, cheaper cost/photo (because the exposure is increasing way ahead of the RRP), new names, and improved tints. So don't wait to try them for yourselves!

Today's post is written by Andrew Walmsley - best known as the 'Phlogger' on his blog and podcast! Andrew is a passionate film photographer and wants to spend a bit of time talking 120 basics: what is 120 (medium format) film and what are the pros and cons of shooting it versus the more common 35mm film. Andrew - take it away!

Oh my we are in for a treat today. Neil Piper has written the story of starting his own film photography podcast! Neil is the host of the 'Soot and Whitewash' podcast, a pinhole wizard, and is also currently studying for a Masters at Norwich University of the Arts with Elliot Knott. Neil, teach us...

Today we talk to Rhys Davies - a photography student at the University South Wales - about his experience with exhibiting. We know that this is a topic and an idea that many film photographers find intimidating, so hopefully he can help lift the lid on the process as well as pass on some tips and tricks!
