Ash Bentley, Sanctuary (SHOT ON FILM 2026)

Looking out from the Long Gallery at Montsalvat, the oldest continuously operating artist's community in Australia. The space is quiet and inspiring, a beautiful setting for working and recharging. I shot this on Ilford HP5 Plus with a recently refurbished Ricoh KR-10 Super that had sat on a shelf for over a decade. It was my first time shooting with an SLR and second roll of film I've ever had developed.
