  1. The Alfie BOXX: a paper-reversal box camera that develops its own prints Hands on with the Alfie BOXX, a new box camera from Alfie Cameras designed specifically for black and white paper reversal. Compose on ground glass, expose onto photographic paper, then develop the print inside the film holder itself. No darkroom needed. Here is what it is, what it is like to shoot, and what the prints actually look like.

  3. Building a massive DIY ultra large format portrait box camera How I built a 20x16 ultra large format box camera for portraits out of plywood, a WWII aerial reconnaissance lens and a pair of 3D-printed lens cones, for about £300. The build, the design decisions, and what I learned shooting black and white paper reversal on it.

  5. Flash with black and white paper reversal: a 1000-watt experiment Can flash solve the long exposure problem in black and white paper reversal? I tested with a Bowens Esprit 1000DX, a Stenopeika Caronte 4x5 and a Minutero 2.0. Flash works, just barely. The more useful discovery was about how strong summer daylight actually is.

  7. Multi-exposure paper reversal self-portraits for a Vienna exhibition Asked to submit work to a photography exhibition in Vienna, I made a series of multi-exposure self-portraits on black and white paper reversal. The technique produced something unexpected and rather lovely. A piece about introspection, self-sabotage, and the Tolifo PL100 RGB Palm Light that lit it all.

  9. Paper reversal in a churchyard with a 1905 Cooke lens Back to shooting black and white paper reversal after more than a year off, with the Stenopeika Caronte 4x5 and a Taylor-Hobson Cooke Series III from around 1905. Eighteen sheets, a hazy old lens, and an honest look at what came out.
  10. Stenopeika Minutero 2.0 review: paper reversal at the kitchen table The Stenopeika Minutero 2.0 lets you develop 4x5 black and white paper inside the holder itself, with no darkroom required. After my first session producing portraits of my daughters in the kitchen, it has changed how I work on the paper reversal project.
  11. Finding the Best Paper and Developer for Black and White Paper Reversal: a four-day contrast test Sixteen papers, eleven developers, four days in the darkroom, trying to find the combination that reduces contrast in black and white paper reversal. Ansco 120 made the decisive difference. Bromide papers do not work at all, and here is how I found that out.
