“A film, what an ordeal!” The 400TX project – in pictures | Art and design

Brisbane photographer Renato Repetto passed a single analogue camera between some of Australia’s most prominent photographers and gave them a single roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 film to shoot on. The result – the Project 400TX – cuts everything back to basics and focuses on the intimacy between photographer and subject. Armed with a 50-year-old Nikon F2 35mm SLR with a 55mm f/2.8 lens, photographers felt like stepping back in time. They were conservative with their single roll of 36-frame film; using manual focus and exposure, the images reveal the unique qualities of film photography and its place in the 21st century
