35mm Work Book

This website is dedicated to the 35mm Work Book. It is an indepth review of the basic techniques used by professional photographers during the era of analogue photography.

Many people over complicate the process of film camera work. In accuracy, the process is very simple, if the photographer stays within well defined rules. Once one learns the basics techniques of 35mm camera work they can be manipulated to a photographers artistic style. It is important to create a personal photographic identity and the work book will help you do so.

The book took over a year to write. And the review essays not only consider fourteen cameras and twenty five lenses they teach the reader how to use the cameras and therefore learn 35mm camera techniques.

The example pictures below are found in the work book. And the reader will discover that there is plenty of repitition with the same subjects being photographed using different cameras and lenses. This method is used so as the reader can assess the resolution of the various lenses used.

I consider cameras and lenses with wide ranging values. From a humble £9.00 Cosmic Symbol to fully reconditioned Leica iif camera and 50mm f/3.5 Elmar lens.

The book will be released on Amazon Kindle on 13th of August. It will be priced at £12.00.

Darkroom

Later in 2025 we will see the final aspect of 35mm Work come to fruition. A dedicated darkroom will be used as the set for videos centred on film and print processing.
