FPP is short-hand for the Film Photography Project: a US-based collection of projects headed up by the charismatic Mike Raso. They are most famous within the global film community for their podcast (entering it's 10th year in existence) as well as the associated School Camera Donation Program whereby donations are sought and sorted to bring analogue photography back into high schools and colleges all over the country. Not only that but Mike also runs the FPP store which sells a multitude of analogue film products all over the US and hand-rolls a fantastic selection of unique films. We are honoured to bring some of those films to the European market and hope you enjoy shooting them as much as Mike has making them!

Reds become very dark (almost black), blues become very light (often white), and greens fall in between, giving images a unique, high-contrast look. I really didn't know what to expect with this film, and I was shocked at how 'white' the blues in my images became, to the point that they just 'disappeared'. It really is a unique film. Previsualisation is essential for good results, and I'd also say there isn't much leeway in post and there is very little dynamic range. You need to decide which is more important, the shadows or the highlights and be prepared for the totally unexpected! I probably wouldn't recommend this for beginners—it's more suited to someone shooting manual and who is metering carefully. I've given it 5 stars, because for the right project and for abstract, dreamy, glowy results, it's perfect.
