Thanks Ryan. You just reminded me of the three years I spent in photography classes. Though in the fifteen years I spent working in photo labs, not once did i mount a photo that way professionally. I do miss that. Everything I do today is done digitally. Keep doing what your doing.
Hello! I'm a beginner, but I also shoot 8x10 photos, and when making contact prints, I often struggle to center the film on the paper. How do you use a contact printing frame or guide to ensure the film is centered on the paper? Is the paper size 11x14?
There are different ways to do it. In this video I’m using 8x10 paper and 8x10 film, so it’s easy: I just align the edges. The white border is from the easel. With 11x14 paper, one trick you can use is to get an 11x14 mat with an 8x10 window, and bring that into the darkroom to use as a guide. You could also use a ruler, but that takes a little longer.
Finally a show and tell portrait video. So sick of talking heads that offer zero value. Pictures is what we want to see. I'm gonna check out their website. 50 years of digital and these idiots still can't match large format film. Disgusting industry should vaporize and let film return to the game.

Wow! Such a cool video Ryan!
Very nice prints.
Thanks so much! I’m really happy with how these came out
