Old School Film Photography
35mm & 120mm
Film Photography
There is something very special in shooting with an old mechanic analog camera.
The connection with every image from the moment you choose the film roll, the camera, the exposure and playing with the developing the images.
The bond gets stronger once the final image becomes alive on the photographic paper!
Some unexpected imperfections and technical flaws results in surprising and charming effects.
The character of the photos' texture becomes a key factor in appreciating its beauty.
Sometimes it looks like to have a fabric overlay, a gritty surface, or even a dreamy smoothness.
Monochromatic film is a classic charm!
Deep blacks, big contrast and dark shadows are my photographers' dream.
