Todd Korol is back with another YouTube video, and in this one, he is following up with ultra-large-format photographer Allan King for an in-depth darkroom tour! Previously, Todd interviewed Allen King about his lifelong passion for capturing the Canadian Rockies through ultra-large-format black-and-white photography. This prompted many viewers to ask for a darkroom tour, especially of King’s enlarger. Of course, Todd called Allen and the stars aligned because Allen was preparing to make a massive print from an 8×20" negative!

As a portrait and family photographer, my days move fast. Most of my shoots happen during the holiday season when families, couples, and clients want to capture memories they can hold onto forever. I need a camera setup that keeps up with real moments, shifting light, and people who aren’t standing still for long.

This year, the Sony Alpha 7RV and the new 50–150mm f/2 G Master lens became my go-to pairing. After a full day of shooting, it became clear why this setup checks every box for the work I do.

When I finally made the jump to Sony, the decision came down to one thing: I wanted the best tool for the job. As a wildlife photographer, I spend most of my time in unpredictable conditions—fog rolling in, branches in the way, low contrast light, and subjects that don’t exactly sit still and pose. The Sony Alpha A1 Mark II has handled all of it without hesitation. The autofocus is simply on another level. Eye focus locks instantly and holds steady, even when I’m shooting through brush, fog, or cluttered backgrounds. And when the day starts or ends in that dim, moody light we wildlife photographers prefer, the files stay clean and detailed, giving me plenty of room to work with in post.
