The New England Large Format Photography Collective (NELFPC) is a group of photographers who are dedicated to preserving the traditional methods used in the photographic process. All of the images in the Raid Our Gallery Benefit are captured on large format cameras, utilizing films from 4”x5” to 20”x24” in size and processed in a darkroom by the photographer.  In a time of quickly evolving technology, high definition, and digitizing, it's refreshing to see the beauty and science of the Large Format Photography art form experiencing a resurgence.  The members of NELFPC are focused on increasing the awareness of these alternative photographic processes in the Fine Art World.
