FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

Through all stages of my life, I have found a passion for the arts. Through gallery work, art theory and now interiors, I believe there is one constant between them all - photography. And while I think most have dabbled around with taking either film or digital photographs here and there, I can think back to being a child and running around with my Moms film camera and anxiously awaiting for the prints. There was something so tangible about the experience. Something so pure about the physical art of capturing moments.

Today, we snap our pictures without hesitation. And why wouldn’t we? We are able to capture thousands of moments at the click of a button and share them with the world in seconds time. Compare this to a time where people were only able to capture one image of themselves throughout their lifetimes, or by way of painting or sculpture.

While I feel as though the power of technology has had a positive influence with photography and cinema, I have recently taken a stance to move slower within our fast paced lives. By this, I mean that instead of hammering out hundreds of photos at a time, I want to create an individual moment within my experiences again. To create those tangible memories and celebrate their individuality.

Picking up a film camera was the best thing I have done in a long time. The experience of setting the film, winding up my camera and patiently awaiting the perfect moment is liberating Not to mention getting the images developed and getting to experiences those moments with clarity and pure reflection.

While I am by no means a professional, I have found a passion for film photography again and simply enjoy the process. Here are some favorite memories -
