‘One roll of film, what a test!’ The 400TX Project – in pictures

Brisbane photographer Renato Repetto passed a single analogue camera between some of Australia’s most prominent photographers and gave them just one roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 film to shoot on. The result – the 400TX Project – brings 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, the photographers felt a sense of steeping 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
