a couple of weeks ago while in
London for work
Jacopo got me a wonderful gift: an
ADOX Color Implosion film which he bought at
The Photographers' Gallery Bookshop. the film was advertised as a
surreal color negative film which originally used to be a defective
AGFA aerial 800 iso without a red filter in the emulsion: if shot as a
100 iso the
ADOX would apparently produce
imploding colors, bursting reds and toxic grain. needless to say I was very excited to try it out!
ADOX Color Implosion - part I:
Nikon FM - ADOX Color Implosion
this is a
first selection of photographs I have taken with the
ADOX last Saturday and I am very happy with these results: the colours and tones are really
surreal and dreamy in my opinion! the grain is indeed
quite toxic but somehow very appealing in these images. what do you think?
I will share more photographs from the ADOX Color Implosion film soon!
wow,it looks amazing, dear! it's so cool to be trying out new film and such results are just the icing on the cake! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kasia! I completely agree!

Deleteoooooh wonderful colors! i guess i should try some other films too, i've been stuck to the cheapest one for too long.. hah!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Etta! I know what you mean; for a while I have been using some Kodak ones that my dad gave me for Christmas, but now I feel like I want to use different, more special films - like this ADOX one.
DeleteThe name is amazingly apt for the results! I love super high contrast for its dramatic effects and I think your photographs show off that really well, Polly!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Katie! I feel like I must get my hands on some more ADOX films right now!
