The Magic of Film Photography

Про магію плівкової фотографії

I believe film photography is eternal. A lot of my photos are film-shot. When running workshops, I recommend my students to sometimes practice with a film camera, if it is possible, as film photography instructs and disciplines. In what way, you will ask?

It’s no secret. When you’re taking film photos, you appreciate each and every shot and will try to think through the details. In this case, it’s impossible to shoot until you come up with an amazing shot, as you’re limited by 24 shots.

Besides, the magic of film photos lies in that very grain, scratches and unique exposure. This produces an impression that there’s more soul in such photos – just like in this film photo shoot made several years ago. Amazing shot, isn’t it?

It’s hard to deny that, no matter how hard we try, it’s extremely difficult, although possible, to achieve this effect in Photoshop. I love film photography, and I believe there are a lot of people like me. Even though digital photography has won, there’s still a space for creative people who will keep taking film-shot photos as well.
