I have a hybrid film/digital workflow: I shoot film, develop it, and scan it. I do use a digital camera (Panasonic LX3), but mostly shoot film.

  1. Take photos
  2. Develop film. I develop my own black and white film in my kitchen, though I have also dropped rolls off a lab. I drop all color film off at a lab.
  3. Scan film. 35mm film is scanned with the Nikon CS500ED, while medium format film is scanned on the Epson V700.
  4. Import photos to Lightroom. If the photos were taken with a digital camera, of course the develop/scan steps are skipped.
  5. Manage photos. I do as little corrections as possible in Lightroom and flag photos for inclusion on the site.
  6. Post photos.

I used to have a darkroom for printing, but now if I need to print, I rent space at a lab.
