I shot with this film when I visited a ruined castle made enitrely of white stone and I entirely regret it because this film does black so well. I guess I should've taken a hint when I saw it was called 'Black Market'.
I'm only uploading a few shots for this reason (I also totally overexposed a lot of film), but even on these compressed images you can see just how sharp the details are; how inky and well-defined the blacks come out with all their variations and shades; just *how bright* whites are. The clear reflection in the man's sunglasses, for example. I also think the grain is very pretty when you zoom in a little. I feel like film this contrast-y should do well with slick cityscapes and architectural photography, and I'm sure it does, but that grit makes me wonder if this could work well in street photography, or stylized photoshoots emphasising a mix of grit and modernity.
Only one way to find out.
Obviously, learn from my mistakes: don't shoot in super bright sunlight, or shoot bright/light subjects. Let the film bring out interesting details and contrasts in the images you shoot. I hope this helps.
I understand why this gets sold out, and I'm excited to try another roll!
