A peak at what’s inside the pages of Volume 02.
We print this magazine twice a year. Each issue contains stories, reflections and perspectives from a wide range of filmmakers & photographers from across the globe. The aim is to provide inspiration in tangible form, examining what living a life through a lens can look like.
It’s less a publication to consume than an object to live with. At 232 pages, it’s made to be left on the coffee table and revisited over time.

Behind the Cover: Rafael Gonzalez
For the cover of Born Rival Volume 02, @rafagonzalezphoto reflects on the way he approaches his photography — learning to be present behind the lens, paying attention to the light, textures, and shapes that make a photograph feel real.
See our previous post for a chance to win a copy of Volume 02 through the @ilfordphoto x @born.rival giveaway.

Born Rival is a balance of documentation and the beauty of the community within the photography and cinematography space.
It goes without being said I tend to stray from interviews, podcast, or anything that puts the attention in my direction. With this project, however, I saw it as an opportunity to shed the light on the people and subjects that have supported me. A way to slightly dive into my story while using images of those people and places I’ve had the pleasure of documenting.
Jason and the team @born.rival did an incredible job at building a beautiful book. Thank you for including me in Volume 2 alongside the other incredible artists.
Vol. 2 available through their website🫶🏼.

Tools of the Trade as featured in print Volume 02 with @stephenmmarino @evanmwalsh
What we have here is a collection of some of the finest, funkiest, and questionable purchases made in the motion picture market over the last decade. If you aren’t familiar with the duo of Marino & Walsh, you should be thoroughly impressed by the knowledge these guys have accumulated over the years, which at times has been a bit of an unhealthy obsession - their words, not ours.
Read the story behind each of these cameras, their connection to prominent films or filmmakers from yesteryear, and the tight knit community of folks who have serviced these forgotten gems back to life.

Our conversation with @baltic_analog_lab was one that embodied many of the reasons for starting this magazine. The passion and dedication from the folks behind BAL is unmatched. Unlike many of the other labs we’ve previously featured in our ‘Lab Report’ segment, they are not simply providing a service. Quite the contrary in fact, as they have built this community-based space around education.
We sat down to chat with one of the founding members of this collective, Ieva Balode @virsotnes. Our conversation challenged us to question what more we can do with our negatives, pushing beyond the typical development and scanning that we have become accustomed to. Shooting on film gives you not only a certain look, but also a tangible negative that you can continue to work with and mold.

The Art of Noticing with Donavon Smallwood [@xdonavon]
New York City is often the end-goal for many artists. A main character city where dreams come true and inspiration flows freely. For Donavon, inspiration strikes through nature - a hard to come by commodity in the city. His focus is on project-based work that creates a meaningful wrapper for each story he aims to tell. My conversation with Donavon really highlighted his curiosity for the craft and his subjects, as shown so clearly through the intentionality behind each image he captures.

Bolex reload ASMR.
Even with daylight-safe film spools avoid harsh sun to prevent edge burn. Better yet, still use a changing tent. It just might not make as great of a moment 📷
