There is something in addiction that makes us forget our genuine identity, this feeling makes us lose control of our impulses. Through this series of portraits I am trying to explore how addiction fits into a complex and multifaceted concept of identity.
Load the film in near total darkness. You won’t want to unload, load, or open the camera unless you’re in very faint dimly lit settings. If the charge end of the IR film that sticks out of the canister is exposed to light, that could be enough to distort about half of the roll. The end can act as a light-wick, seeping sunlight through the entire roll and ruining the film.
Different Infrared film stocks have different sensitivities to IR light. As an example Kodak HIE film is one of the most sensitive IR films on the market, recording down to 920nm on the spectrum. Siince it is more sensitive to light, it is a faster film allowing the use of faster shutter speeds.
On this episode of Focal Collective we FAILED and over-exposed a roll of Provia 100f on the Canon A1 while backpacking around Banff, Alberta. This video gives a behind the scenes look at the photos taken with this camera and what the overexposed shots look like. The Canon A1 is a great 35mm film camera for beginners, though slide film still proves challenging to properly expose the highlights utilizing the camera's built-in light meter.
On this episode of Focal Collective Mike Lindle shoots Fujifilm Pro 400H with his Nikon F100 using the Nikkor 35-70 AF f2.8 lens. This video gives a behind the scenes look at the photos taken with this film stock on the Boston Common. Fujifilm Pro 400H is a favorite among wedding photographers, see how it performs in this public park.
The first infrared film was developed in 1910 by Robert Williams Wood. His experimental film required very long exposures to properly capture enough light to illuminate the images. It wasn’t until the 1930s where infrared film became available to the public when Kodak developed film emulsions that were responsive to infrared light.
