In a world where there is no difference in lab development cost between C41 color film and classic black and white, it seems foolish to shoot C41 ‘fake’ black and white film. Perhaps that is why I never shot with Ilford XP2 Super 400 before. To the film-experimenting photographer that I’ve become, that is a strong reason to shoot it.

I grabbed the exceptional Fuji GF670 medium format camera, a simple ring light, and the talented Ameeka Moore. We shot a few portraits and I have to say I’m quite happy with the results.
