Today we chat to Sam West who, along with Bob Crowley was behind the successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign to bring back a 4x5 Positive Negative instant film.   Despite numerous setbacks New55 PN film is still being made and sold by Sam and his small team of elves in New England.  Sam talks to us about that journey, his love of all things large format and where next……   Sam’s links https://www.facebook.com/swhiser   https://www.instagram.com/swhiser/?hl=en   https://famousformat.com/     Things we chatted about on the show:   Sam talked about his engagement with the Featherstone Centre for the Arts. https://www.featherstoneart.org/   Sam touched on the different “families” of lens design, Simon got quite excited at this point and referenced his other podcast and the recent episode where Jason Lane gets into his lens design stride, catch it here. https://www.classiclensespodcast.com/e/100-jason-lane-returns/   Tobias Feltus was a big supporter of the Kickstarter campaign and made some wonderful images to support the project using New55 PN material. See some of his images here and links to others https://gallery.new55.net/tobias-feltus/#1   We got chatting about shutter repairs and camera repairs and Sam mentioned Bob Odess the go to Hassy man in the USA / World maybe. http://david-odess.com/sales.html   Andrew then mentioned Lyndon from Londinium Camera Repairs who offers a great service and his communication is excellent. https://londiniumcameras.com   Previous guest on the show (number 20) Kate Miller-Wilson published an article in PetaPixel showcasing the superb LF work she has been doing, using static electricity to create some otherworldly self portraits.

#24 Sam Hiser – The Real Negative Positives

Sam Hiser tells the New55 film story, and shares his thoughts on the art of photography today. Sam - CEO and co-founder of New55 Holdings, along with co-founder and inventor/innovator extraordinaire Bob Crowley - are on a mission to bring back the essence of Polaroid Type 55 to fine art photographers. New55PN is not a duplication, but rather, an innovative new product that brings back the thrill of producing photographic results unlike anything else seen in analog or digital photography.
