A Foggy Morning on Ilford HP5 Medium Format Film
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
- I'm starting a vlog to bring back the original format that made me enjoy making CZcams videos; low production quality and slightly less low quality photos. In this first one I go out to shoot some medium format Ilford HP5 on a foggy morning with my Mamiya 7 to follow up on my new years resolution, organize the chaos that is my studio and also share some new work.

I’ve been following Willem’s channel for two years now, and I’m so proud of him for evolving and growing not only his channel, but also his photography skills. Congrats in having your work posted on the LA Times!
(Also: Willem, if you’re reading this I wanted to say that, I can’t thank you enough for getting me into photography, and helping me to learn more about it.)
Thank you for the kind words! Means a lot
The shutter sound to cover the sh*t bomb was probably the most god tier editing maneuver I've ever seen
Your videos always have a meaningful insight not just in photography, but as a person who really loves what he’s doing.
Thank you :')
Note to self: Don’t complain about paying $3.29 a gallon for gas in Ohio. Really dig the moody atmosphere of that fog.
Ive seen upwards of 6 in LA
that's less than half of the price in europe
@@WillemVerb £6-7 in UK.... around 10USD. £1.45 per litre. Mind you, we do have a lot of very corrupt politicians
@@davidellinsworth22 how do we have corrupt politics 😭😭

You seem a lot more comfortable in this video. The energy feels more real. What a pleasant video
"HP5 or not, I'm always proud of you!"
- Matt Day (I guess)
Just keep an eye on the cardboard since it’s not acid free (cardboard is acidic) and not archival. That’s why those other storage boxes you used are expensive because they are archival and won’t ruin prints and artwork due to being acid free.
He could buy acid free cardboard for comics and use it on top and the bottom of the box, and between prints, I don't know how expensive they are in te us, but where I live I pay like 22USD for 150 acid free cardboard sheets
@@Dansback21 agreed, its worth the extra money in the long-run
I spent a summer on the UC Santa Cruz campus and I could never get use to seeing that wall of fog roll in every morning and evening. Very different from where I'm from. Love the ethereal shots!
Nice work! Comission from the LA Times is great work to pick up. I'd love to see you put some rolls through a Bronica ETRSi. Curious to see how you'd get on with it.
how is nobody talking about his cat!!! cutest moment ever
That beautiful early morning lighting looks amazing. 300zx at 1:54 looks kool too!!
B&W with the fog and the Rolls Royce with the palm tree looks just so good. Congrats to your work spread in LA times!
Couple goals man!! Your gf waking you up to shoot!! That's what I want in my life!! Photos looking great as always!! (visit taehas Channel again. It was so cool seeing you trying keyboards!!)
"Sincerly", gotta love this "San Fracisco" cardboard box label :D
3:19 that Toyota model F is so sick! Lovely video
I'd be down to watch more of these videos, super good vibe
Ya gurl is legit for catching the light and letting you know. That’s partnership right there 😅👊🏾
I see you reppin' for the PUTS at 5:12! O.S.T. is one of my favorite albums of all time. RIP to Double K!
i love this return to format, it seems a lot more genuine and energetic
Really happy you're taking away some production value from your videos. I think just DIYing your yt videos and being less concerned with cinematography has brought back the energy your older videos had. I appreciate your high production value videos immensely, but I'm also stoked to see more of this again
Ilford is undefeated
ah man, i felt the satisfaction of tidying the projects into new boxes. organising my studio is one of my favourite things to do
This video has been my favorite in a long time.
la times work had such nice light + textures
4.69 is a steal in LA 😮💨
Gyaaahh Willem + Fog needs to become a regular thing please🥺
more of this please, it feels so raw and transparent with what you do everyday.
This series should be called ‘Get out N Get bangers’
Just finished the video and my God. Amazing. Love to see you going to back to the roots. Also shoutout to ally for waking you up. That pic with the cactus... amazing
love this vlog format, i started watching you back when you made these vlogs in coney island- loved this episode, your personality came out more here and i love it!! ☺
Recently bought 40 rolls of hp5. Love what you've done and it makes me so happy to see what you did. Fucking love your work. You're what got me in film again. 30+ cameras and I'm loving it
Let’s gooo happy Monday y’all!!
Happy Monday Marti!!
You're LA Times work looks phenomenal man. Thanks for the inspiration!
Dude good stuff in regards to the LA Times!!!! That’s amazing, hope you are in a billboard next
Cool video WIllem. Nice that you have a savvy girlfriend that knew to wake you up for some good shooting light. Thanks Allison!!!
+3 I loved the LA times assignment work. Not only bc you were given no direction and you came back with some amazing compositions, but you got paid to go have fun! Win
Can't wait to see more Willem in print! Congrats on the LA Times!!
new favourite youtuber, whole vibe and produced work is something i truly aspire to be
Hey, Willem!
Sorry about the long comment in advance. :)
I’m a huge fan of your work and look up to you in so many ways. I’ve learned a lot from your videos please keep up the good work! Considering you are a big inspiration for many of us myself included, i would love to watch a video and hear about your journey and how you got to where you are. Things you’ve learned and how you started as a beginner and what you’ve learned and how you learned everything and level of difficulty, challenges you’ve faced…etc. I’m an art/ photography enthusiast and mainly have a hobby of learning about different formats of photography both film and digital. But more film. As well as fun projects that you can do such as your zines. Would love your input and to learn how to make a career out of this hobby. A video about this would be very much appreciated and helpful because you truly are an inspiration and motivation source. Hearing your full story could really help.
Thank you.
The cat arm-touch and snuggle 😭
people under the stairs😍
Willem your images are freaking inspiring. Keep up the good work my brother! Much love from East Tennessee!🙏🏼
Love that Toyota van 😎
+2 for the girl waking you up for good light. Clutch
HP5 is such a mood! Love these photos. 🔥
Shout out Mike koziel over at last good, looking real good willem
Always so stoked to see a new video by you, pop up on my feed!
Thanks!
Such a fun one to watch
As always Willem, love the videos and the photographs.
Your videos just hit different, Thanks man!
These black and white foggy shots are soo god, tight man!
I remember this foggy day and the foggy night before, could barely see driving around! Glad you made good use out of it though🤘🏻
Amazing as always.
Might start organizing my darkroom prints in Dominos pizza boxes (new or lightly used). Ty for idea sir Willem.
This vid reminds me of the good old days
this brings memories I didn't think I remembered
Your channel is so cozy
Just some food for thought. Gawain Weaver writes in his book, "A GUIDE to Fiber-Base Gelatin Silver Print Condition and that Deterioration" that:
Poor-quality storage materials can also be harmful to gelatin silver prints. If possible,
prints should be stored in photographically inert enclosure materials such as 100% cotton rag or 100% alpha cellulose fibers. If a storage material has passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT), a very stringent testing method, you can be assured that it will not harm the silver image or cause staining of the gelatin. (p. 20)
Weaver's guide is a short read. It's worth checking out.
Holy shit, those California gas prices... I paid a little more than $3.80 a gallon in WA just this week and I was pissed.
About those paper boxes for organizing your prints and negatives: be REALLY careful with humidity levels in that room. That paper/cardboard material easily attracts vermin/bugs of all sorts quickly, also it's prone to fungus/mold growth. It's not a great long term solution for something that valuable!
It's great to watch your career as an artist grow on CZcams.
Thanks, Willem!
I love shooting expired medium format film. The Rolls Royce photo is so eerie 🖤🤍
Love this laidback style coming back (,:
Let’s goooo bringin da format back
Huge congrats on the LA Times work that’s is amazing. As an OG subscriber the journey has been beautiful can’t wait to see more wins 🖤
Had that toyota van. I had the fridge option in the side console. Great memories.
THATS SICK
Love your work and workflow. Cheers!
This set of images turned out amazing.
let’s go i love me some CLASSIC willem vanderbilt
WHO???
@@WillemVerb hey man i just work here
Really love your passion for photography, inspires me to take photos
That nice old Toyota van was more exciting to me than the rolls royce… 😂
you're an inspiration willem!
Love the more casual type videos, keep it up
my right ear really loved this
Shoutout Jacob!
these photos are incredible
Willem hit them boxes like a pizza shop! But I cant hate a bit when saving $18 per.
LOVE YOUR VIDEO!
Wow those images for the LA Times are insane!
I grew up in Southern California and the fog you experienced is nothing to us locals. Enjoy.
I was walking around in LA from 1/26 to 1/31 shooting downtown. it was fun, but I didn't have a car so it was mostly on foot around skidrow.
Also these pics turned out great!
need more content like this !!
random comment: I don't wanna seem creepy, but I just wanted to mention that you always come across as a super layed back guy who really loves what he is doing. I think you would be the type of person who is super fun to be around, to just grab a beer with and just talk about stuff and take something meaningful out of that conversation. And apart from all the Inspiration I can take from your videos on a creative level, I also feel like you've gotten so good at the storytelling and "hosting" aspect, which is part of making these videos and that really enhances the experience of watching your content.
Im so in love with thsi set🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m currently shooting Iflord HP5 and Delta 400 for my film class and I gotta say, Delta 400 is very nice
Great cozy video! Congratulations on working with the LA Times!
