Black & White

Ilford HP5 Plus

Flexible B&W · classic contrast

Emulation character

HP5 Plus offers wide exposure latitude in black and white — forgiving interiors and studio portraiture with classic Ilford contrast.

Ilford HP5 Plus models the color response and contrast of its photographic reference — grain and halation are applied in Darkroom when you preview on a still. For log footage, set the correct input profile before applying the stock.

Workflow notes

Reliable all-round B&W reference. Push in post by increasing contrast rather than duplicating grain for cleaner digital sources.
