The Magic of Film Photography 🎞


Why should you shoot film?

Film photography has made a major comeback in recent years, thanks to the revival of '90s and Y2K trends. But what exactly makes film so special? In 2024, shooting with film might feel like a nostalgic throwback, but there's something undeniably magical about capturing memories through a vintage lens.

Film comes in many formats—70mm, 60mm, 40mm, 24mm, 16mm—with 35mm being the most popular. Despite the variety, one thing remains constant: the depth, emotion and the perfectly imperfect aesthetic that film captures.


How do you start shooting film?

There's no "right" way to start shooting film, but the easiest entry point is a secondhand point-and-shoot camera. There's no need to splurge on expensive gear until you've tried it out!

Get to know your camera—learn how to load film, discover which type of film works best with it, and figure out the settings your camera prefers. Once you're comfortable, you can step up to an SLR and start experimenting with aperture and shutter speed. Shooting film is a blast; the real magic happens when you develop your pictures and get to relive the surprise of all the moments you captured, including the ones you'd forgotten about!
