Shooting Gothic Glory: Large Format Film in Wales’ Ancient Cathedral - The Red Room - Episode 11

Join me for Episode 11 of The Red Room as I take my vintage MPP 5x4 field camera to the magnificent Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, Wales. Using 30-year-old Ilford HP5 sheet film, I explore this thousand-year-old Gothic cathedral, demonstrating large format photography techniques and the incredible image quality achievable with older equipment.

I shoot Epstein’s striking “Christ in Majesty” sculpture, while sharing practical insights on camera movements and large format workflow. The final results prove that decades-old film gear can still deliver unmatched resolution and detail.

Perfect for photography enthusiasts, film lovers, and anyone interested in Welsh heritage sites.
