Large Format Film Portraits (Toyo 45a & Ilford FP4)

Testing if my Toyo 45a still works after a nasty fall by taking some portraits of Maryna on Ilford FP4.
You can follow Maryna here - / gluecklichmarinalp
and Georgie here - / georgiebluck.xx
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the photos and any recommendations for a replacement 4x5 camera. The section where I actually shoot the portraits starts at 3:01 if you don't want to listen to me waffle on!
To enter the raffle mentioned at the end of the video you can purchase as many tickets as you like by using this link - www.tomhumble.com/product-pag...
The winner will be announced on here and on my instagram on the 31st May 2022 and any profits made from the raffle will be donated to Maryna to send to her family in Ukraine when it's safe to do so.

Thanks! Enjoyed every bit of your fine video and I’m tempted to go down this hard road after seeing the beautiful photos and the joy of the hassles too. Keep up the good work! Thanks again.

Congratulations Tom on reaching 5,000. This was a great video to celebrate the milestone. I enjoyed the lens comparison and the images were all impressive as always.

[@noizephoto]

Stunning shots and very insightful, thank you. Now I want to shoot this format too!

[@joseelement7695]

Fantastic images. I can only imagine the expletives that were used when you saw your Toyo take a dive. I have the same camera and I love it. I just purchased a few tickets for the raffle (it took literally 30 seconds to do.) I commend you on your efforts to help people out who are going through this nightmare.

Great content! 4X5 lives in the soul.

Nice images, and your right about different paper/neg combination's. Darkroom paper developers will also alter the way your final image will look. As for a camera, I use a Wista SP, not quite as expensive as the Toyo, or the lighter wood made camera's, but has the same movement's as the more expensive 45's, and at the end of the day it's just a light box.

Sir you are a good soul cheers.
