How do you make a film with high contrast?
If you want more contrast, I recommend increasing developing time by 25% (multiply normal developing time by 1.25) for Kodak Tmax 100 and Tmax 400, and Ilford Delta 100 and Delta 400 films. For other films, increase developing time by 50% (multiply normal developing time by 1.5).
How do you get high contrast black and white film?
Change your shooting angle, rearrange the scene, or work with a different composition so that the photo will include a broader tonal range and thereby get more contrast. If your subject is bright, see if you can use a point of view or framing in which you have a dark background.
