Analog Photography: The Ultimate DIY Guide to Learn How to Develop Photographic Films for Film Photography
Develop Analog Black and White Films Yourself in less than 30 minutes
Many photographers are rediscovering analog photography, which is currently triggering a real trend. What is the appeal of analog photography? In 1888, the first roll films were produced industrially. Today, around 128 years later, we are already in the middle of the digital age with far more possibilities. Nevertheless, the old technology also has its advantages, which will definitely convince you.
The term analog photography refers to photography with an analog camera and film. A roll of film is inserted into the camera and the magic begins as soon as you press the shutter button, light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is captured. The images collected on the roll of film come to life when the film is developed in a photo darkroom.
Anyone who wants to work with analog photography over a longer period of time is advised to develop the self-exposed films themselves afterwards, at least as far as black and white films are concerned. You are rewarded with a high quality of the negatives, with extremely low development costs and of course with a lot of joy in the completely independent process.
This book will walk you through the process of how to develop analog films, even if you have no prior experience. You’ll learn about everything you need to develop your first film as well as how simple it is to develop black and white film at home.
Anyone who wants to learn more about how to develop black and white films for analog photography, whether you need a step by step walk through or just want to get started as a new hobby, should read this book. You’ll learn how simple it is to develop black-and-white film at home and how to start developing films with just a few required pieces of tools.
In this Analog Photography guide, you will discover:
- Everything about analog photography
- Advantages of analog photography
- Camera settings for analog photography
- How to edit analog photos
- Structure of black and white film
- Exposure and development of black and white film
- Composition of the image
- How to set up your own black and white photo darkroom
- Materials and equipment for photo darkroom
- How to develop your film
- How to determine the development time
- How to determine the fixing time
- How to prepare the developer
And much more…

Letting Photos Speak: Visio Divina and Other Approaches to Contemplative Photography
An indispensable companion that will help you unlock the transformative potential of your images
- Contemplative photography can enrich our spiritual lives, mental health and wellbeing
- This simple introduction to vision divina is accessible to all
- Within the book itself, you will be able to construct your own illustrated book of prayer and reflection
Letting Photos Speak is for anyone who takes photos, on standard cameras or smartphones, and who wants to explore personal meaning and well-being through their pictures. The book, designed for readers of all faiths and none, begins by exploring some of the common ground between Christian contemplation and mindfulness and the effects that photography can have on wellbeing. It outlines some ways of exploring meanings in photos, ranging from theological reflection to visio divina, and considers how photography can function as a place of unrushed reflection or contemplation, involving the mind, emotions and body. Drawing on the authors’ experience of utilising photography in churches, leading retreats and running workshops, the book includes a number of practical exercises to ‘let photos speak’ and help readers connect with themselves, others, nature, and God. The book also offers some practical examples of how images can speak effectively in group contexts, such as workshops and alternative styles of worship. At the end, readers are invited to draw together their reflections in a personal photo journal, inspired by the ancient practice of keeping a ‘Book of Hours’, using reflective prompts and innovative bookmark overlays.
