"My absolute favorite thing about shooting both film and digital is that the film makes me really take my time and think exactly what I want to achieve with this shot" Tell us about yourself. I've just turned 25, originally from Auckland, New Zealand and living out of Melbourne, Australia. I work for a Medical Software company, which means my photography is my main outlet for my creativity. What first interested you in analog photography? It was actually when I was in Europe, I had a

Snow and skin combined. Winter and summer, two seasons many of us wish to combine. Just imagine what it would be like if you could go to the beach, swimming, sun bathing for a week and the next one you'd be "on top of the world" at over 3000 m altitude, free riding your way down. Since this is only a dream for now, I did a shooting with one of my dear friends, Oana. We took advantage of a rainy day, a roll of Ilford Delta ISO 400, a sexy swim suite, ski boots and let' s not forget my love

"The photos came back great and I was sold on film from then on." Tell us about yourself. I am from California but currently living in Germany. When and how did the film journey begin for you? When I got back into photography in 2011 I noticed that many of the photographers who I admired or thought their photos had a unique look were film photographers. After seeing the amazing results that film could produce I decided I needed to shoot film also. I had no clue what to buy and my fir

Retro 'selfies' with Crista Oiegas

Crista takes "selfies" to mark the camera used First of all: how did you get the idea of taking one selfie per film and why I don't usually take selfies with my phone or my digital camera, but I had this thing when i first saw my reflection in a mirror with my camera on my neck. So I took the first shot. Must say that i didn't do this with my first two films. I think it all started when I was on my 37th position of the roll and I took the first selfie with my Zenit 12 XP. People said afterw

"Canon AE-1 Program. With this camera, it was love at first sight" Tell us about yourself. Hi! I'm from France and in my day job, I do a lot of animal osteology. When and how did the film journey begin for you? I had my first film camera when I was ten, from my father (an Olympus Trip AF 21).

Louis likes to experiment with multiple exposures. Tell us about yourself. My name is Louis Dazy, I live in Paris and I work as an art director in an agency. When and how did the film journey begin for you?

I bought a Nikon F2 in October 2014, a couple of film rolls and started shooting
