FOTOFILMIC PRINTSHOP – The Face of Film Photography is still a Print:

Meet the first global film-photography exclusive print shop selling curated and juried works from both emerging and mid’ career film photographers all around the world. We’re all about sustaining and strengthening the film community at large, starting with photographers published here, as well as film manufacturers, art lovers and darkroom nomads alike. Our goal is to facilitate keeping film photography fine art and the film photography industry both alive and well.

Nothing short of a challenge, we know. But the clear survival interdependency (or fate) of the two might actually turn out for the better: we figured, the more people buy film photographs, the more film photographers keep shooting, and the longer film manufacturers will keep the show running. We’re all in this together, online and out there. If you love film photography, chances are you will also love taking a stake in its future at FotoFilmic. Add your own link to the Contemporary Film Photography people chain by purchasing high quality photographs straight from those still attached to photographing on film!  They’ll be grateful for the compliment, wherever they happily room, camera in hand.

A LENDING HAND TO FILM PHOTOGRAPHERS – Meeting you halfway:

All proceeds of the FotoFilmic PrintShop sales are split in two equal halves with the first half directly paid to our photographers, and the second being invested towards the international operations of the non-profit FotoFilmic Foundation. Each PrintShop photograph sold therefore supports one individual photographer (its author) AND the film photography arts community on a global scale through FotoFilmic’s programs including its Annual Juried Competition & Traveling Exhibition and other educational initiatives such as its US-wide 8×10 Impossible Project Workshop Tours this year.

SHORTLIST & FOTOFILMIC COLLECTIONS (NEW in 2015)

The FotoFilmic PrintShop is proud to offer 2 different collections of photographic works both drawn from its annual international juried film photography competition:

1. The SHORTLIST Collection is a curated portfolio presenting 2 limited editions C-Prints (12-edition 5×7 in. and 9-edition 8×10 in.) of ShortListed Film Photographers published online on the FotoFilmic website as part of the FotoFilmic Competition.

2. The FOTOFILMIC Collection presents individual works that were exhibited as part of past or ongoing FotoFilmic International Juried Film Photography Exhibitions (FotoFilmic’13, FotoFilmic’14 and FotoFilmic’15 exhibitions) in very limited editions C-Prints (6-edition 11×14 in. and 3-edition 16×20 in.).

Curated by FotoFilmic (SHORTLIST Collection) and juried for each exhibition by a different international panel of renown photography curators and publishers (FOTOFILMIC Collection), all photographs are available as professional Gallery C-Prints (chromogenic LightJet prints) in very limited editions. SHORTLIST Collection works are only available for a duration of one year, while FOTOFILMIC Collection works remain available until editions run out. Each print bears the FotoFilmic Foundation authenticity seal and comes with a separate certificate featuring the artist signature, name, edition number and work title.

All proceeds are split between the photographer and the FotoFilmic Foundation, so every single print purchased supports the film photography arts and community both locally – by investing into the work and development of an emerging photographer – and globally – by backing a unique non-profit organization whose programming reach knows no geographical frontiers or artistic boundaries.

PRINTING OUTPUT & PRINTING QUALITY

All prints are Digital C-Prints professionally output by our photographic laboratory partner in Vancouver using the best available laser printing technology (Lambda/LightJet process) and photographic enlarging paper (Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper).
The results are photographic prints matching or bettering the continuous tonal information, tonal range and tonal transition found in traditional chemically processed C-Prints.

This insures an optimal transcription of analog photographic information from negatives, transparencies, glass plates or even reflective materials like paper negatives, to preserve the authentic analog aesthetics characteristic of film based photographic works.

CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY & FOTOFILMIC SEAL

Each print carries the FotoFilmic Seal and ships with its Certificate of Authenticity: a small card featuring the photographer’s signature, print title, edition number and date of printing.
