The Ocean Will Have Us All

13th February 2025

Photographer William Arnold has just released The Ocean Will Have Us All, the final instalment in his Retinette Series. An experiment in self-publishing, The Retinette Series spans 12 rolls of film, shot on a 1950s Kodak Retinette camera over 12 months, resulting in 12 zines, and a total of 168 photographs.

Standalone copies are available on William’s site. You can also contact the artist for a very limited number of complete sets.

William writes:

‘It became hard not to overthink the content at times but for the most part I tried to remain with a continual stream of consciousness. I hope you’ve enjoyed the titles – thinking points, provocations…

Never shooting a roll of 35mm film again.’
