Finished Fashion film with hand processed Tri X in Kodak D76

Cheers for the suggestions regarding home processing reversal film as negative.

I ended up going for D76 developer and the bucket, spaghetti developing method and I am really pleased with the results.

I shot some carts of 500T and had these processed and transferred by Gauge Film and had the home processed BW transferred by them also. Very happy with their service and transfer, think the rawer aesthetic of the scratchy Tri-X worked well alongside the cleaner colour film.

There was intentional exposure ramping during filming as I wanted a slightly surreal look and whilst there are a few aspects of the final film that I would have liked to improve upon, I am just pleased that I didn't feck up the entire project by insisting on soley shooting and home processing film for a paid job with no backup plan.

Anyway, here is the film and again thanks to Kevin at Gauge Film for the transfer, would happily recommend them.

Thanks, it turned out better than I had anticipated as the light in the room was horrible and I had to shoot at the same time as the photography shoot was taking place. Working around the strobing and in such a tight, bland location was a challenge but it turned out ok.

Thanks for watching.
