End of line.
What’s next.
It has been exactly four years since we started this simple project called theFIX Analogue Photography Magazine. Born from passion for analogue photography, it evolved and had been read over 44.000 times.
We are committed to analogue photography and the fantastic community, that gathered around the magazine. We will continue to share photography news, different techniques and adventures from the analogue photography world.
Back in 2015, to celebrate our first year, we have published one printed edition. Issue no. 5 is the only publication that cannot be found online. It was printed limited number of copies. I guess you can say these are now rare collectable publications as there was about 200 copies in circulation. We still have few left in stock if you are interested. You can find the link on our website: http://www.thefix-magazine.com/ limited-edition/ The last four issues were sold online via ISSUU platform. They will remain there until the end of the publication cycle - by the 2nd of March 2019. So if you want to get one, you must hurry. After this date, they will be only available to people that purchased them. The last four publications are also available in PDF after purchase.
However, we will do this using our social media pages like: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter where we can join a wide community of photography lovers. So if you want to your photos to be featured on one our pages, please check our new submission rules here: http:// www.thefix-magazine.com/contribute/ All free archive publications will remain on the website for you to enjoy. Thank you for your support. You have been fantastic. Stay creative and shoot film ! theFIX
Kamila Kulik Photographer
I live and work in Gdansk, Poland. I work at a design office and even though photography is not my main source of income, it’s still a big part of my life. I simply can’t live without it. I started my photographic adventure about nine years ago when I picked up a Holga. This quirky and amazing camera stole my heart and it’s still my favorite medium format camera. Besides of Holga I also photograph with Czechoslovakian camera Flexaret and with Polaroid.

“I’m much more interested in creating my own reality, rather than showing or documenting life and the world around me. The stories that I create first appear in my mind and then I capture them on film. Then it’s the Holga’s distortion that creates an atmosphere of mystery and metaphysics and makes the reality unreal. What I like the most about working with a Holga is that things are not always clear or apparent, very often we can discover a second layer, a hidden meaning. I like it when things are left unsaid, when people have to look for answers deeper under the surface and when they create their own interpretations and their own reality. All photographs were made with Holga 120N. I used Kodak Portra 800 for colour photos and Kodak Professional BW400CN for black&white photos” Kamila Kulik

I am 26 years old and I was born in a small city close to Munich but now I am a Vagabundo with no home but always with a camera. I started 4 years ago to study molecular biology but took a break to travel and in this time photagraphy became a big passion, so I first took a lot of shots with my “Yashica T5” and now with my “Olympus Mju II”. I figured out that it is easy for me to get the people to open the doors to their intimacy or private life to make authentic shots while I always try to catch that impression in the right moment. I learned during my time studiying science that nothing natural is static but everything is dynamical and that is what I try to put in my photographs what is always a challenge. A photograph is something static but something static that contains dynamic and that connects two worlds with each other. That’s why I love photagraphy and my way to express my view about the world is to put parts of it’s “hidden” beauty in a shot that creates a secret which gives the observer the freedom to make up their own interpretation about this piece of art.

Nicola Dutoit Photographer
Nicola Dutoit is a fashion and portrait photographer from the alps of Switzerland. (Thats right, he doesn’t shoot landscape). Being born into the digital age, he started with digital photography but quickly fell in love with the analog world of imagery. He embraces the look and imperfections of film, as well as the work it takes to get to a finished negative. He develops in his bathroom, which his roommates hate him for.

“The picture shows one of the looks that I did for a micro conceptual collection as part of my fashion graduation project. The inspiration was found when I was going through Luigi Serafini’s illustrations to the 16th century Elizabethan style. Everything you see in the photo was handmade. As part of my palette (obsession and personal challenge) I chose analog infrared photography to catch my creations.
(because if you use in an automatic one, the micro readers of the dx code can cause fog in the film). Also you need an infra filter to block as much UV and visible spectrum waves as possible. I used a tiffen yellow #12. No Photoshop was used to create the magenta foliage. IR causes the shifting colors because it was first planned to be used by military to detect camouflage. But in the 60’s it got adopted by the creative industry and every psychedelic weirdo wanted to use it.
The film used is the infamous The model is my friend Jessica Michels. She Kodak Aerochrome Infrared Film 1443 is a human rights activist.” which is no longer manufactured and a nightmare to handle, but the results were like a dream. In this case I used a 35mm roll on a manual Olympus OM-2 camera

I am a film photographer from the London area. I have been shooting for several years first learning in secondary school. I mainly shoot street and portrait work occasionally doing landscapes but I feel you shouldn’t categorize your work only do what feels right. No need to shoehorn your vision.

*** “Style is something I always think about when composing a shot or even taking an image. And this shot oozes with swagger. From the neon sign illuminating the foreground and the blue hues which sit neatly behind. Makes for an atmosphere reminiscent of the film Blade Runner dark, moody and cut throat.”

he camera was created from an ancient box of Ilford plastika photographic paper that is no longer in production - small, palm-sized squares of paper presumably used for test prints. I then drilled six large holes in the box of (roughly) equal measurements in the box before cutting a rectangle from a beer can I found on the floor, to use as the metal inner plate with the fine holes punched in.
branches and twigs overlapped in a chaotic swirl. This was to convey a sense of confusion and distress to be used as moving image frames in a short film I created, A Guide to British Trees, that was recently featured by Lomography.
For shooting, I used the photographic paper that came in the box the camera was created from, meaning a very low ISO. Despite this, the small size of the box resulted in the paper being close to the To create a shutter I used some duct tape numerous holes, thus exposure time was and cardboard that was lifted on and off relatively short (for a pinhole camera!). the front for exposure. Finally, another average exposure in good section of the beer can was taped to the The back to provide as a stand for the camera. lighting was 1-3 seconds, with any longer resulting in over exposure. The idea behind having six I then placed the paper in developer holes was to create a spawning resulting in paper negatives, which I then distorted mess from the winter trees, where inverted after scanning in photoshop.
