Featured photographer

Lidija Ivanek - SiLa


Lidija Ivanek - SiLa is I-Shoot Film's 1st featured photographer.  Lidija has been using methods like palladium, Van Dyke Brown, gum oil and gum bichromate. She says the process, to her, is as important as the final product.

Lidija was born in Zagreb, Croatia and is currently living in Kinsale, Ireland.

“Did you know that there were at least 400 different developing techniques before and we lost almost all memory of them?. We lost knowledge about them before we had the chance to explore them. I love to think of myself (in small part) as a keeper of that knowledge. I use an old knowledge and combine it with new.” Lidija Ivanek
