A group of black and white analog photographers has just launched a new photographic collective dedicated to supporting black and white film photography and traditional printing processes. They have chosen to call it Monalog™, a new word derived from “monochrome” and “analog” because they don’t make color prints or incorporate anything digital in what they do … no scanning of negatives, no creation of “negatives” from digital files, and no digital printing of film negatives.
Monalog’s founders make silver gelatin enlargements, contact prints on Lodima and Azo paper, platimum and albumen prints and prints using carbon transfer processes. They use 35mm and medium format rangefinders, medium format SLRs, and a range of wooden view cameras that produce images using 4x5, 8x10, 11x14, 8x20 or 14x17 inch negatives. While they use different tools, films, chemistry and papers to create their art, all share a love and unabiding commitment to black and white film and traditional printing processes.
Monalog’s goal is to grow through membership of fellow “monalog” photographers that are dedicated to this wonderful medium and exhibit a high caliber of vision and adherence to their craft. The collective will also engage with others, individually and through collaborative activity, and support the industry that makes all this possible.
So please check out the Monalog Collective at www.monalogcollective.com. There you will find member galleries and information, an entertaining and informative blog and updates on news and events.
Monalog welcomes a limited number of other like-minded photographers that wish to join the collective. For more information, please contact info@monalogcollective.com.
