I hope you enjoyed following this process. Back next week with a video shooting some 35mm ;)
Also a special thank you to Storyblocks. This kind of stuff is really the reason I'm able to make these videos so I appreciate the support!

Crazy how everything involved in digital programs comes from all of this. I never put it together and doing it all by hand makes it even more impressive.

I never realized how much detail you could get out of film. After developing and enlarging/printing 35mm film, there's so much detail to scan off those prints as compared to just the negatives. I can't imagine how much you'd get from 120mm film.

9:20 the editing, the music, the photo Its like a nostalgic sting, I have never thought i would be emotionally moved by a how to video on printing color film. Impressive.

"they know how to be together" such a legend! thanks for creating and sharing Willem!

I absolutely adore this man's attention to detail and perfectionism in his work. So important for people like him to be doing that job.

This is amazing! I love playing around in lightroom and can spend hours on a single photo, but to see the skill of that process being done in analogue with tactile, bodily interventions is incredible. What a wonderful, special job. Thank you for the insight!

Imagine if every photographer cared like that for your prints

It's really neat to watch this and see the similarities and differences between color and black and white darkroom work. I've been printing black and white in a darkroom for two years now...seeing how color is done is pretty cool. I will say the machine is a nice touch since I'm used to trays and manually developing.

Ummmm is he editing the color in the darkroom? Wow I thought film was supposed to be raw and untouched? Were there taken on a digital camera that uses film?

I found your channel from one wild suggestion on YouTube, I'm now deep in the rabbit hole of the hobby and have a film camera beinf sent my way.

Thanks I guess hahaha

"You can print with feeling." Amen, brother.

Wonderful! It's great to see Richard at work, and that the master printer's expertise creates room for intuitive interventions into the process. Beautiful images, too!

This is so cool to see, I wish I had the opportunity to print color photos in a darkroom. At school one of our teacher who is very passionate about photography set up a drakroom in the school basement for black and white prints. It's such an incredible practice and great to see a picture come together. Our darkroom is completely manual, so we mix the chemicals ourselves and develop the photographs step by step. The paper isn't cheap but it is such a rewarding thing to do. I absolutely love it.

Printing colour can be so much fun if you have a machine that does the annoying developing for you and removes the need to clean out the tank after every single print.

It’s really cool to see the printing process in a fully equipped lab. Right now I do my colour printing at home in trays with no temperature control. I’ve had no problems with results or repeatability, but a dry to dry processor would totally make things so much easier!

I had a beautiful experience yesterday, I participated a demonstration in a small photography/print shop where i know the owner and the guy that was there showed us the instruments and the functioning. The process is incredible especially when u see the image appearing over the paper, the patience that u need and the struggle to find certain contrast/ colours, all this for free. Fun fact we printed some B/W images but my friends brought only expired and coloured negatives so we had an experiment and we actually had a interesting result. (i'm gonna post the image and share the link if u are interested to see it)

I knew color printing was more complicated that black and white (which I’m taking a class on) but it’s fascinating to watch how much adjusting and fine tuning goes into it!

[jannadelle]

More videos like this! I love seeing the process of making photographs. Good luck on your New Jersey project 💙

Wow analogue lightroom essentially. Fascinating to see the dodge tool. Never knew it was a real thing outside lightroom.
