We were really excited when Anton contacted us about this project. What he does is extreme and we have to admire his dedication and passion to black and white film photography. There are not many people who will carry a large format camera up a mountain. Getting the peak named ILFORD Peak was also amazing!

I was thinking, Anton, you the man carrying that type of camera equipment up there &, just for doing the climb. Great vid!

The trick of putting a piece of the film box in the flash shoe is genius!!

"Ruskij mir" in black & white. Romantic russians... wow, how sweet.

Fantastic. Anton is an inspiring person, especially if you ever have the opportunity to meet him in person.

I've been following Anton on Instagram for awhile now, but have never read or seen an interview with him. And this one's fantastic! Shooting film out in the mountains is a lot more work than digital, and it's very motivational to see someone like Anton out there doing it in a big way.

So I keep watching this over & over for two reasons: 1) I took my first expedition cruise last month and I witnessed amazing glaciers in the Chilean fjords; our planet is so fragile and I'm inspired to do another expedition; and, 2) I love the imagery Anton captured. I am a documentary photographer and I think my images capture something special....but Anton's images are dreamlike, coupled w the the extent to which he goes to make each picture. I am about to hit the darkroom to print a series of pictures I made in NY City on the topic of sexuality; I walked into the darkroom, which is in my home, and chuckled that the images I will be printing were made during a weekend after taking a cab to a New Your City burrow; Anton's were taken after climbing amazing mountains. No comparison.

Amazing, Anton! I have great respect for anyone who can shoot 5x7 film at 6,000 metres altitude. I use a Walker Titan XL 4x5 camera and they are ruggedly built by Mike Walker in Wales. If you are going to shoot large format film up the mountains then the Walker is the best camera to do that - in my opinion.

What is the “tumbler” that was being used to tumble the film processing tank. I have never seen anything like this. It’s a fantastic piece of equipment.

omg i just downloaded ur app minutes ago and youtube gives me this video

Love my large format camera and film, but on this occasion i'd just switch out my 4x5 to a fuji GFX.

Wow that is awesome. Huge camera and lots of extras like tripod to carry. I’we been climbing 8 thousand meter peaks, but the biggest cameras I have been carrrying was Pentax 67 and Plaubel Makina 67 - pictures at /gallery.K2-adventure.dk

I'm happy that the photo made from that wall is one of the best. I've already printed it at the darkroom 50x70cv on a glossy baryta Ilford Classic roll paper from 5x7'' FP4 negative. It's abstract icefall and a rock on the altitude of 5000 meters. And it's a most important picture of the exhibition.

Any reason for 5x7 instead of 4x5?... Cheers
