- In our latest #MyFilmStory we meet Anton Ivanov, a film photographer who's love of analogue extends to his day job at Art of Foto, a gallery, large format photography studio and darkroom in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Outside of the gallery we discover Anton's passion for climbing and how and why he tackles some of the world's biggest peaks with his Walker Titan 5x7" film camera and ILFORD black & white film.
In the 2nd half of this film we follow Anton into the remote Khane Valley, Karakorum in Pakistan where he and a team of Russian climbers make the first ever ascent of the newly named, 6,080m ILFORD peak (Hasho Peak II) in July 2019! (alpfederation.ru/news/1062/)

We were really excited when Anton contacted us about this project. What he does is extreme and we have to admire his dedication and passion to black and white film photography. There are not many people who will carry a large format camera up a mountain. Getting the peak named ILFORD Peak was also amazing!
In honor of the Art of Film photography!
I was thinking, Anton, you the man carrying that type of camera equipment up there &, just for doing the climb. Great vid!
The trick of putting a piece of the film box in the flash shoe is genius!!
Pure inspirational..may film live on forever!! Thank you Ilford!!
Thank you very much! We believe in film!
So good video
Thanks a lot!
"Ruskij mir" in black & white. Romantic russians... wow, how sweet.
Heroe's passion to the photography is crazy and inspiring the same time! Thank you, ILFORD photo, for the great project!
Thanks! But, we are not a heroes, just people, who loves a photography and climbing.
Passionate, certainly, but not crazy. Boris Johnson is crazy, and Poetin is hopelessly insane.
My Brother!!!!!
maaaaaan
Very Cool Story.
Thanks! In film we trust!
Fantastic. Anton is an inspiring person, especially if you ever have the opportunity to meet him in person.
Extreme photography!
No risk no fun ))
Just a little bit :)
Very good video and a look at things I will never see!
Thank you very much, stay tuned.
Wow!
true
We agree. Climbing these peaks is tough enough without a large format film camera and a stash of black and white film as well!
@@Ilfordphoto I look forward to the Ilford film productions; they can't be inexpensive to film and produce. Thank you so much. As a loyal Ilford customer...please keep producing these films.
an amazing effort in every way Anton. thank you ILFORD for posting this
Thanks a lot. This is a life.
This is very cool that we have ILFORD PEAK now on the map!
Magnificent photography. My opinion I would have used the Leica M digital and a Film Leica.. So much gear, 6,000m! Would I do this? NYET. Did I love our video and photos, Da!
Очень обладенно, Антон, 5х7 в таких условиях! Желаю удачи и творческих успехов, - ты (of all people) этого заслуживаешь.
Спасибо большое! Иногда, конечно, я ненавижу эту камеру в горах. Но без неё не могу пойти )) Всё-таки картинка с горами на матовом стекле - это удивительное зрелище.
Very inspiring. This film has the 2 things I’m passionate about. Photography & mountaineering... I wan to recognize his group also for the support they must gave him. Not alot of guides/ climbers have the patience to wait for some guy to load large format... I wish I have such group on my trips.
Thanks for watching Akram. It's great to hear you enjoyed the video.Anton has made several ascents with this group and they all seem to work well as a team.
Thanks! Yes, this is true... sometimes people are crazy if have to wait until you shoot, especially with a large format slow camera. But I was lucky with a team, and we preparing an exhibition now.
Seeing all that Heiland stuff and other equipment in his darkroom makes me jealous of him ;)
He does have a fantastic darkroom set up doesn't he?
@@Ilfordphoto Indeed ;) Heiland Kienzle and other top notch gear…
And of course Ilford Papers and chemistry…
Хороший фильм, достойно!) ждал когда же начнется про пакистан, думал там будет много кадров с дрожайшей камерой, но этот момент очень приятно удивил! И первая часть фильма, в студии, очень естественно снята, приятно смотреть!
Спасибо! Жаль только оператор не отдал мне самые вкусные кадры из Пакистана. Что ж, остается только ждать полноценную документалку ))
What an inspiring human.
Thank you very much!
This guy is my hero. Just wow.
Thanks a lot. I do my best.
I've been following Anton on Instagram for awhile now, but have never read or seen an interview with him. And this one's fantastic! Shooting film out in the mountains is a lot more work than digital, and it's very motivational to see someone like Anton out there doing it in a big way.
Thanks Timothy - He's very inspiring isn't he? I have no idea how he does what he does! Carrying and shooting large format whilst climbing is pretty impressive.
Nice!!
Thanks! Shoot more film!
So I keep watching this over & over for two reasons: 1) I took my first expedition cruise last month and I witnessed amazing glaciers in the Chilean fjords; our planet is so fragile and I'm inspired to do another expedition; and, 2) I love the imagery Anton captured. I am a documentary photographer and I think my images capture something special....but Anton's images are dreamlike, coupled w the the extent to which he goes to make each picture. I am about to hit the darkroom to print a series of pictures I made in NY City on the topic of sexuality; I walked into the darkroom, which is in my home, and chuckled that the images I will be printing were made during a weekend after taking a cab to a New Your City burrow; Anton's were taken after climbing amazing mountains. No comparison.
burrow = borough......sorry
Thanks a lot. I'm in process of preparing an exhibition now. I already printed about 40 photos in the darkroom, all of them on glossy baryta paper. Need to print 20 more. Firstly, the show "Khane Valley" will be in Moscow and St.Petersburg, and we are going to do it international then.
Thanks for the comments Matthew. We're glad you enjoyed watching it. It obviously struck a chord with you. Ig you want to share any of your black and white images once you have printed them in the darkroom , then we'd love to see. We are @ilfordphoto on Instagram
Very inspiring! Using a LF camera in such conditions takes an incredible amount of dedication, and this photographer has my utmost respect.
Yep, using a large format camera we had a lot of fun!
Carrying a Walker Titan 5x7 up a 6000 meter mountain. Puts my puny efforts of using a Walker Titan XL 5x4 around the hills of the Lake District into perspective.
Amazing 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Stunning film, the teams dedication is something to behold.
Thanks for watching. Anton and his team are pretty amazing
Just outstanding all around!
Thanks Ricardo. He's a very talented guy.
Absolutely incredible.
Thnks a lot!
Amazing, Anton! I have great respect for anyone who can shoot 5x7 film at 6,000 metres altitude. I use a Walker Titan XL 4x5 camera and they are ruggedly built by Mike Walker in Wales. If you are going to shoot large format film up the mountains then the Walker is the best camera to do that - in my opinion.
Also a Titan XL user. Great cameras
Антон Красава!
Спасибо большое!
Congratulations, Your work and dedication speaks for it self' You have my respect. Cheers :)
Many thanks!
Outstanding.
Used 50 a lot in the 80's... Along with fine grain paper...Got some great water fall shots.....
Are you still shooting much black and white film?
@@IlfordphotoStill use an old Contax 645AF....And an old XD-11 Minolta...
wow
Yep!
So good. Nice to see the hard work he puts into his photography.
congrat. Superb.
What a great inspirational film, and such amazing art works!
Glad you liked it Marty! :)
An interesting Ilford piece...
Keep film alive
What is the “tumbler” that was being used to tumble the film processing tank. I have never seen anything like this. It’s a fantastic piece of equipment.
great
Thank you!
omg i just downloaded ur app minutes ago and youtube gives me this video
Wow that is awesome. Huge camera and lots of extras like tripod to carry. I’we been climbing 8 thousand meter peaks, but the biggest cameras I have been carrrying was Pentax 67 and Plaubel Makina 67 - pictures at /gallery.K2-adventure.dk
Glad you enjoyed it. I can't imagine trying to carry that kit up a mountain. I really like the bit at 8:43 where they are calmly discussing whether there is an avalanche happening whilst loading film:)
Insanity,👌
Film photography insanity ))
Love my large format camera and film, but on this occasion i'd just switch out my 4x5 to a fuji GFX.
And here I am, thinking whether my Pentax 67 is too heavy to bring it to a walk downtown...
LOL - I know. It;s crazy isn't it? Most of us would struggle to climb some of the mountains he does without all the additional kit! His black and white film images are amazing though.
How it's possible to shoot with a large format camera on the vertical granite wall? Unbelievable!!
I know! If you have a look at Anton's Instagram feed he has some shots of him practicing this on a climbing wall.
I'm happy that the photo made from that wall is one of the best. I've already printed it at the darkroom 50x70cv on a glossy baryta Ilford Classic roll paper from 5x7'' FP4 negative. It's abstract icefall and a rock on the altitude of 5000 meters. And it's a most important picture of the exhibition.
When Everest?)
I'm not surer that Everest is possible with a large format camera, but I'll try to reach highest 8000s mountains step by step, or if only 7000m would be great. My personal record 6250m with a large format camera now - in Nepal Himalayas.
What developing system was shown at 1:01 ? Is spinning and rotating at the same time?
TAS film processor by Heiland electronic
heilandelectronic.de The company also produces great splitgrade systems and LEDs for an enlargers.
Any reason for 5x7 instead of 4x5?... Cheers
where do you get those nice Ilford stickers for your prints?
Hi Yash. These did go our in our FB papers for a while, but there was not a big take up so they were discontinued
ILFORD Photo maybe you should give it a try again :)
I would love to able to use something like this on my prints
They were included in some paper boxes, like ART300 paper.
Anton Ivanov which lens do you have on your MA? is it a steel rim 35mm Summilux?
Можно же было субтитры на русском добавить
Спасибо, в ближайшее время добавим на ютуб
Русские субтитры добавили
Я понимаю желание сделать фильм на международную аудиторию, но вообще при этом отказаться от русского языка - это большой промах.
Почему промах? В нашей действительности только так и надо. Сам много лет снимаю на большой формат, в России не спроса, не интереса, общаюсь с такими же фотографами. На западе и интерес и спрос и реальный рынок. Антон в теме, а вы нет.
@@romanlebedev679 я не говорю, что нужно отказаться от английского. Я говорю, что вообще пренебречь русским - это промах. Можно было бы хотя бы субтитры сделать. Субтитры на английском, когда нужно, он сделал.
@@user-by2hj8on9e Субтитры в процессе, скоро добавим на ютуб.
Überlautes Musikgedudel - eine Zumutung !!!
Штатив - ужас!
Почему?
@@polinavasileva2895 Видно, как камера дрожит, на вытянутой штанге штатива
@@yuriysanin1206 а, ну тогда и правда ужас.
@@yuriysanin1206 у этого штатива можно открутить центральную штангу, что я и делаю периодически во время экспедиции, особенно перед высотными восхождениями. Там на последнем кадре как раз без штанги шаттив на высоте 5800м.
@@AntonIvanov Сами восхождения - вызывают восхищение. Сочетание таких восхождений с серьезной фотографией и особенно с Большим форматом - подвиг. Удачи, сил, возможностей и вдохновения!
