In recent years, film photography has witnessed a significant renaissance―and not just among those who have previously shot with film. Interest in film photography has also grown enormously among those who only have experience shooting digitally. In The Film Photography Handbook, authors Chris Marquardt and Monika Andrae speak to both kinds of film photographer as they offer an easy-to-understand, complete resource to shooting film. They also address today’s working climate, including such topics as the hybrid film/digital workflow, the digitization of negatives, and working with smartphones for light metering and to assist in film processing.
This book is intended for anyone who is curious about film, whether you need a refresher course or are discovering this wonderful format for the first time. You’ll learn how easy it is to shoot and process black-and-white film at home, and how little special equipment you need to get into film photography.
You’ll learn all about:

the important differences between film and digital photography
numerous film cameras, as well as how to buy a second-hand camera
film formats, from 35 mm to medium format and large format
exposure settings, tonal values, and tonal representations in different types of film, from color negatives and slides to the enormous spectrum of black-and-white films
processing film, covering everything you need to know: equipment, chemicals, and workflow
scanning negatives to bring your film into a digital workflow
both presenting and archiving your prints and negatives

Working in such an “analog” medium requires a unique approach to photography, and it fosters a completely different form of creativity. Working in film can also prove to be a great inspiration for your own digital photography, as well. The Film Photography Handbook covers it all, from the technical to the creative, and will have you shooting film in no time, whether it’s with an old rangefinder, an inexpensive Holga, or a medium-format Rolleiflex or Hasselblad.

Reminded me that I still love shooting film

July 7, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

For those of you unfamiliar with the origins of this book, Chris Marqhardt is the host of the longest running photography podcast in the world, called Tips from the Top Floor. His podcast deals primarily with photography as a whole, without necessarily distinguishing between film and digital. However there are plenty of specific tips in the podcast for both film and digital photography.

This book contains everything you need to know to get started shooting and developing your own black & white film if you have never touched a film camera before. There are gorgeous pictures and plenty of examples. Things are explained clearly.

However, I bought this book despite having several years of experience with film photography and home developing. What it did for me was rekindle my love for film photography and get me back into a highly enjoyable hobby. Although perhaps I personally didn't learn a ton of groundbreaking new technical details about how the very best ways to scan film, build my own 4x5 camera, or solve world hunger through film photography, I found the book highly enjoyable to read and will reference for experiments with new films and developers for years to come. Highly recommended, even if you don't listen to the podcast.

Film is not dead, great book on current status of film photography and how it fits into the digital age

August 7, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Masterful work that teaches with just the right amount of technical information but more importantly provides hands on tutorial on how to shoot film, process it, and the different options to either print pictures the old fashioned way or how to get digital images from your negatives or slides. It is a inspirational read and makes you want to shoot film if you haven't tried it before or in my case shoot more film, especially black & white. There are many photographs giving examples of end results as well as illustrating the tutorial parts of the book and tables listing films currently available as well as discussing new projects to keep film alive. Additional resources are throughout the book so you can continue the film photography journey, this book is a gateway into all things film.

Nice new book on film photography, pretty current on new materials and equipment. Picked this up in a search for a new textbook for the film photography class our school teaches and will be using it this Fall.

Perfect for beginers

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is perfect for anyone new to film photography. It covers all the basics an even teaches a few tricks an techniques to get the most out of your photos. If you're a seasoned film photographer then it may seem very basic but if you're new to film this book will save you so much time scouring the internet for information. Very comprehensive an well thought out.
