Description
Harman Switch Azure is the latest creative offering in our growing range of Harman 35mm colour films.
Aimed at the creative photographer Switch Azure welcomes you to a world where pink and orange skies meet cyan bananas and blue strawberries.
Harman Switch films invite you to flip the familiar on its head and turn the everyday into something strange special. As the colours switch, ordinary scenes become unexpectedly extraordinary. Iconic red London buses? Now they’re blue. Yellow New York cabs? Not anymore! Your friends? Think Smurfs… or maybe Avatar. Sunsets? Reimagined in cool blues and dreamy purples.
From the everyday to the extraordinary, it’s time to switch the world around you. The type of scanner used with Azure negatives can significantly alter how the digitised image will look.
Features:
- ISO 125 Speed Film - Vibrant colour-switching. - Fine grain - Wide Exposure Latitude
Benefits:
- Perfect for the next creative project - See the world switched with blues and oranges dominating your shots. - Fine grain structure ensures smooth texture in prints or digital scans
Shot my images on an Olympus OM-1N, both around the home and down on the coast. I tried to shoot a variety of different images and places to gauge the most interesting for future projects, including double exposures, and think there is potential to create an interesting body of work, given the right location. I would certainly buy a few more rolls and try it in some different settings.

interesting results, but...
shadowy areas look so flat, I suppose you can adjust them after the fact but not everyone has or uses Photoshop. I feel the market of 'boutique' film is oversaturated (no pun intended) & QC had dipped a lot.

Odd, but fun
The colour switch provides a very distinct look and will not be for everyone, or every shoot, highlights are heavy on the halation, and be aware it's far from a subtle look.
It is however, in the right circumstances, a very unique take on the world.

Just for fun
I used a whole roll of Azure on a walk across a bridge. I didn't have any expectations and was pleasantly surprised when the film was developed. Would try again in an area with more contrasting colours.

I really enjoyed using this film!
This was great time. It really made me think about each shot I was going to take. There is something excite about not knowing how the picture will turn out.
I was happy with the results. Pics taken using my 1968 Olympus trip 35
