Tell us about yourself.

I'm 21 Years old, I was born in a small town called "Seddouk" and i live in the city of Bejaia in Algeria.
I work as a freelance photographer

When and how did the film journey begin for you?

I have been shooting with film for almost 6 Months, A friend of mine sold me a film Camera by pure chance , so it's was an opportunity not to waste.

What type of film do you usually shoot and what made you choose it?

For now i only use " fujiColor C200" , i am Kind of limited with my choices, specially with the difficulty to find film in Algeria.

What camera makes you click?

Canon Rebel G

Between black and white and colour film which would you choose?

Definitly the black and White, things i have not really experienced, however using color film made me appreciate more the real value of the color.

What lenses do you use?

I only use a 50mm F / 1.4

I have learned a lot by using film, specially by observing more, in the street you have no right for mistakes. It must be the right click, otherwise you miss the shot " the decisive moment ".
