We love spending time in the darkroom, and it's always surprising how quickly time can pass when there are no other distractions. For today's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites we asked you to share your results from this time well spent for our theme #printedwithpassion.

@klassila China is a controversial place and partly because of that very interesting. There clash together politics, questions of human rights, history, incredible art and craft and a multitude of religions. I learned immensely and got some of my best photographs from there. Especially I was fascinated by mountains. Stairs. 峨眉山, Éméi Shān. 2016. Selenium and sulphide toned gelatin silver print in size 24x30,5cm. Film: Ilford XP2 Super 400 Paper: Ilford MGFB Warmtone

We sneaked a few extra images into our selections this week, and could easily have added the same amount again. It's so fantastic to see so many of you printing in the darkroom. Thank you to everybody that shared with us. Make sure you check out the upcoming themes below.

NEXT WEEK #lovethem

06th Feb - 12th Feb. #lovethem - Valentines day is just around the corner and (hopefully) love is in the air. Send us your shots showing who you love. (Yes you can include pets!) Don't forget to tell us which film you used and to use the #'s #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites.

UPCOMING THEMES
