Can You Film Soup Harman Phoenix 200?

In this video, I endeavour to find out what happens when you soak Harman Phoenix 200 in film soup. I teamed up with Winnipeg-based fibre artist Marilyn from Almost Urban Fibre Works to create a set of dyes and concoctions that we soaked this film in, and got some pretty interesting results. Would I recommend trying it? Not really. But at least now I have so you don't have to :P

I actually like how yours turned out. Film soup and harman Phoenix individually are meant to be super experimental anyway. Also phoenix 200 is super high contrast and super grainy and already has that vintage look. So imagine that’s why the colors weren’t as vivid as some other film soups. Cool experiment all around!

Not that you care what I think: You’re being too hard on your images. It’s your job to edit them as finishing. The photos are hard! Omg, the harsh criticism over the beautiful work made it hard to watch the section I visually enjoyed most. Respectfully.

Thanks for taking the plunge to experiment with experimental film. I haven’t tried film souping yet. However I was not impressed with my regular roll of Phoenix, so I suppose souping it could not make it any worse. Thanks again FW

As I have read about film souping. It needs to stay in the soup for at least a week or 2 to get results. You did not do that. So maybe next time leave it longer. I have souped my rolls for 5 weeks. They are sitting in rice in my film fridge since last year. 35mm, 120 and negatives and unused film. I am waiting to send it to a lab in florida that does film soup, My lab won't touch it in fear of ruining the machine and other peoples film. Cochineal dye is from a beetle. You are correct. It is also used in food and drinks as a dye. So anything you drink or eat that is red most likely will have beetle dye in it. So read ingredients before purchasing.

I like the photos - even the unedited ones

Thank you!

[@marilyn525]

I liked the end results, though I have to admit your editing helped a lot. Would be into trying again next time you're in town ❤

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Let's do it!!! Let's try cyanotype again too! Would love to try it with actual transparencies

This is a new one for me. I hadn't heard of 'souping' before. I'm definitely curious to try this, as I have been experimenting with color film lately. One thing you mentioned echoes a problem I've been having in that my scanner just pulls way too much green, and I can't seem to correct it. Of course I'm still using a cheap little wolverine while I'm saving up for a nicer flatbed scanner, hopefully then I can do pre-scan color correction. I'm pretty comfortable with c41 at this point, and I've tried bleach bypass dev as well as red-scaling, but in both cases that green just kills the effect. Once I fix that, I'll try souping. I like the concept of it because you can play with different colors and times and whatnot. On that note, did temperature play any role in your dying process? Looks like it was just done in mason jars. Color negative is usually very temperature sensitive. C41 has to be damn near exactly 102 F, even 5 degrees off can have an effect. I wonder if warming the dye would allow it to penetrate the emulsion better? I'll say this, I'm definitely not gonna try this with Harman phoenix. It seems like that film is pretty finnicky to begin with, and it's a bit pricey for experimentation. I'll probably try Gold 200 or Ultramax. Great video as always Yvonne! Yeah, I saw you were in CA this week, but no stop in Sac once again, lol. One of these days maybe. Cheers! 😁💙📸

The water had been coming down from a boil for about 20 minutes when we put it in! So fairly warm, but not quite hot. I bet if we had gone a bit hotter it might have had more of an effect! I hope you get some good results when you try souping! The key is to have either acidic, basic, or soap ingredients!

Completely unrelated to the video but I am OBSESSED with your top! It looks so much like the Cop Copine mesh tops I'm always searching on depop for

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Aye thank you!! It's an old Aritzia style but I think it is from a while ago because I bought it on consignment.

[@HealthyMaxwellRoth]

It sure is a great thing for film photography that Ilford is doing this. Also, even if the Phoenix looks like a lab test subject. Anyone can be creative with it, and some irish people even come to get decent results with E6 process. But seriously, Adox deserves so much credit for the Color Mission. All their films were great already, but their very first color negative is actually really great looking and reliable!

[@onnoweb]

Oh how interesting!! I have to try this!!

your wall is great like the wall "In an instant"

Oh girl you are so beautiful 😍😍😍.

The next stage in your home development journey has to be caffenol or beetrootol.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Just wait until you see what we're cooking up for next month 😂

[@michael.trimboli]

I'm too scared to soup a roll of film, lol. However, I did try my first roll of Harman Phoenix recently and got some interesting results, to say the least. The wildest was a shot in the subway here in Brooklyn that came out green due to the fluorescent lights. Definitely will try it again, though.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

I love the way it interacts with florescent lighting!

[@rockhills]

The picture @7:56 is one of the coolest shots I've seen in a while.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Ayeee thank you!

[@thrashermosher419]

Amazing results - There are enough photographers who are ashamed of what they do... Keep being the beacon guiding creativity forward!
