I offer a rare and powerful service: I can create a true black-and-white analog film negative from your smaller film negative or digital image, sized up to medium format (6×7 or 6×9 inches) or large format (4×5, 5×7, or 8×10 inches).
Yes, you read that correctly. Using real Ilford FP4 film, I can produce an authentic, traditional film negative — not a digital printout or facsimile.
What You Can Send:
- A smaller film negative of any size from 35mm up to 5×7 to make enlarged analog film negatives up to 8×10.
- A digital image created with any digital camera, provided it meets the resolution requirements of at least 300 DPI.
What You’ll Receive:
- A true analog Ilford FP4 film negative, made at your chosen larger size (up to 8×10)
- A hand-crafted negative customized for your printing goals
Tailored to Your Printing Workflow:
I can fine-tune the density and contrast of the new negative to suit a wide range of workflows, including:
- Silver gelatin darkroom enlargements
- Silver gelatin or silver chloride contact prints
- Platinum/Palladium contact prints
- Cyanotypes, salt prints, and other 19th-century alternative processes
Each negative is individually crafted to ensure it prints properly with your chosen workflow.
