UNLIMITED GRAIN/ PORTRAITS/ Hardcover by edited by Frans Peter Verheyen | Make Your Own Book

 about the book

"More and more photographers are starting or returning to use film. There is a revival going on. 
On our website we can see a growing interest in this now called "vintage" phenomenon of analogue (analog) photography. 
We realize that analogue is not the right term and it should really be "photography that includes a chemical process". However, this is a mouthful, so we stick with analogue. 
We run the THIAPS website now for about 3 years and slowly we grew tired of looking at brilliant photography on a computer screen. 
So let's print it. It took us 6 months to create a short list of photographers who we wanted to ask for this project. We also came to the conclusion that one book would probably not be satisfactory, so we decided to go for a series of books. For some reason we thought that portraits would be the perfect theme for the first one. Other topics, like landscape's, urban, street photography, nocturnal and more could follow. And we call it the UNLIMITED GRAIN series."

"THIAPS, The International Analogue Photographic Society is a platform for photographers who love the tactile quality of film-based images, who enjoy the wet and warm smell of developers and fixative, with a strong belief that "Film is not dead; it just smells funny."
For those who create their photographs with 35mm, roll films, sheets and plates, with Polaroid or Liquid Light, with Large Format or any tool whatsoever, as long as chemical processing is involved."

thiaps and flim is not dead it just smells funny have been personal favorites for a while now. they showcase great work from artists around the globe. i'm happy my work was chosen  to be apart of their site.
