LaFoPho from 135 Film
2022, Thore Flynn Hadré
For this project I decided to make use of the control that a large format camera provides and to create long exposure photographs, and to move the camera during the exposure. However, I also chose to not use the standard 4x5 sheet film and to insert three 135mm film stripes into the film holder instead. This was for one due to curiosity, to see if it is possible, and also to save money. As the film material is more or less the same no matter the format and still the material cost for 135 film is much cheaper than the 4x5 sheet, i reckoned, it would be a very cost effective solution to use 135 in a 4x5 camera.
After shooting I developed the flim negatives, scanned them and composed them into the full image in Photoshop and finally edited them in LightRoom Classic. The colored version of the photos is created by coloring the shadows blue, the midtones green and the highlights orange.
