SilvergrainClassics Issue 28 (Winter 2025)

The entire world of analog photography — beautifully printed in SilvergrainClassics, a collectible, book-quality journal. Each 100-page issue features striking portfolios from across the globe, plus gear for the mechanically curious and the shelf-space-challenged, practical techniques for shooting and darkroom, and voices from the community keeping film alive.

• Ray Barbee & Cassandra Trenary (USA)
  Two legends — a skateboarding Hall of Famer and a prima ballerina — show us what happens when world-class talent turns the camera on their own lives. Their work is intimate, unexpected, and unforgettable.
• The Unseen Saul Leiter
  A rare look at previously unpublished images from the master of color. Mike Crawford takes readers behind the scenes with insider insights you won’t find anywhere else.
• Leica at 100: Beyond the PR Story
  We went into the Leica archive with Tim Pullmann in Wetzlar and came back with more than nostalgia. Exclusive access, fresh research, and details that rewrite familiar history — this is the centenary feature worth reading.
• New Layout, More Space for Images
  Portfolios from South Korea, the Dominican Republic, Australia, and the UK are presented with room to breathe: large, quiet, and powerful on the page. If you love print, you’ll feel it here.
• Negatives Matter
  Leaving your film at the lab risks losing the most valuable part of your work. Marwan El Mozayen lays out why your negatives are your photographic DNA, and Hermann Groeneveld shows how to protect them for decades.
• The Scan Resolution Myth
  We put identical frames through multiple scanners — same resolution, very different results. Stefan Vaupel reveals what actually determines quality. Essential reading for anyone who scans.
• Darkroom Printing Made Intuitive
  Bruce Barnbaum offers a mindset that removes the mystery from printing, making it straightforward enough for newcomers, yet valuable enough to give experts fresh perspective.
• Instax Wide EVO^TM
  A hybrid instant camera built to spark creativity, not limit it. Compact, playful, and surprisingly capable.
• DIY Film Culture
  From a kindergarten micro-darkroom to 3D-printed tools evolving into a livelihood, this is the film community at its most inventive. Proof that analog is growing because people are building it themselves.
