"Going Crazy", by Maximilian Heinrich

"Showing a person’s transition from a normal state of mind to complete craziness." Last year in December we published the first article featuring Maximilian Heinrich's work. The article is called "Focus on your vision" and if you haven't, you can read it here. We plan on publishing more of his work and we're starting with the project called "Going Crazy".

My names Matthew Wilkinson and I’m a wedding/lifestyle and music photographer from Norfolk in the U.K. When and how did the film journey begin for you? I started shooting film about 2 years ago, I’ve always liked the thought of doing the whole process myself, from taking the shot, developing it, to printing an image in the darkroom and I don't think you can beat the look of film.

"Still a long way to go, but I am looking forward to it. " Tell us about yourself. I am 34 years old, born in Poland in 1981. My Mom moved to Dortmund/Germany in 1982 - my Dad already lived there since 1976. I still live in Dortmund, lucky that I found work after studying near my home city.

The Darkroom

It could very well be that the most iconic part of analog photography is the darkroom. The darkroom is the direct consequence of early photography; this is to say that large parts of the technology of darkrooms can be traced to the 1830s. Nonetheless, we have of course come a long way. The discovery of the photochemical effect started the love story of photography. The thought of capturing light and time, and transferring it to paper, is one that has fascinated us ever since we found out it w

Return to Analog in the Digital Age

Written By Calvin Bailey. Film is on its way back. What exactly it is about film that makes me excited every time I load a new roll into my 35mm is hard to say, but I am not adverse to educated guesses.

"Digital is great, but film is beautiful" Tell us about yourself. Hi, my name is Tom and I’m a 48 year old salesman living in London. When and how did the film journey begin for you? In 1982, I bought my first camera a Fujica STX1. As a kid I loved to draw and paint, but as I got older I gradually realised that to be any good required a lot of time and practice neither of which I had the patience for. So I thought maybe I could experiment with photography as a creative outlet, I guess
