Top ten Black and white photographers in no particular order.

Mann Ray.

He took surrealist photography to a different level with darkroom and camera techniques. 

Michelle Bates. 

She uses a Holga toy camera, a camera that not only do I use but I even made an entire project out of a Holga lens that fits on a DSLR. Her work seems more like playing then photography. Something that I have been told that I should work on myself.  

August Sanders. 

He pays an incredible amount of attention to the fundaments of lighting, composition, and making sure that everything is dead straight in the frame.    

Lee Friedlander.

His landmark series inspired me to go out and photograph Fort Worths monuments. After studying his work I never pass up an opportunity to photograph a monument.   

Berenice Abbott. 

Is she a street photographer with awesome architecture in the background, or is she an amazing architecture photographer with people in the foreground?

Diane Arbus.

She documents the weird and interesting with her camera.  

Arnold Newman. 

Newman does a great job of adding in that something extra that tells you about the person he is photographing. 

Nancy Rexroth

Is someone I just recently learned about. She uses a Dynia and Brownie cameras to get the effects that she has.  She does what the whole lomography movement does now but in the 70's.

Ed Ruscha. His 26 gas stations is the go to when explaining to people typology. 

Jerry Uelsmann.

Photoshop before photoshop.

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of ask’s about the ‘how to’ of film soup, which is very cool. It’s good to see people getting into film.

So yea. In short: do whatever you want.

Add any ingrediants you have in your house (Alcohol, lemon juice, deodorant, food colouring etc) and just go from there you. Burn the film, boil it, I know of a guy on here who soaks film in rivers and oceans. Add any amount of ingrediants, boil it for 10 minutes, boil it for 10 hours. I’ve had some really cool results from setting film on fire, soaking it in pond water, crushing flower petals etc. Go with your imagination, its all just experimenting and having fun. Don’t be afraid of ruining the film - that’s kinda the point. There are a hell of a lot more photographers on here who do film soup, and get some really awesome results. I made a list actually not too long ago. There’s also stuff on flickr etc. I added captions onto my photos to give you some ideas.

If you’re nervous about doing it though, just get some super cheap film and use it up in your bedroom or whatever. Make some soup and go from there.

What I will say though on developing: In my experience, 1 hour photo labs (snappy snaps, boots, jessops etc) and the like aren’t too keen on developing film you’ve fucked with. I know some people have managed to have it developed there, but if you’re gonna try, I’d always tell them that you’ve messed with the film. I don’t know the first thing about developing film, but better safe than sorry, y’know?

Something I cannot wait to try.

American photorealist and photographer Chuck Close was invited by by Vanity Fair to photograph 20 of Hollywood’s brightest personalities, a star-studded roster that included Julia Roberts, Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson and Martin Scorsese to name a few, for the magazine’s 20th Hollywood issue. For this project, Close used a Polaroid 20×24 instant camera. Believe it or not, this particular camera model, which was manufactured by Polaroid in 1970, delivers instant prints 20 × 24 inches in size.

Intimacy can be quite a difficult word to define. This photo series by photographer Paul Schneggenburger captures it as couple shares it unconsciously in their sleep.
