This week, I’m diving into all things film photography, from how to start shooting film to how you can use the off season to experiment and level up your craft. I chat about what makes film so special, the look and emotion you just can’t replicate digitally, and how slowing down to shoot film can make you a better photographer overall.

I’ll share practical tips for beginners, what gear to start with, which film stocks to try, how to use your digital camera like a film camera, and the things to watch out for when getting your rolls developed. I also talk about the real costs, the challenges, and how to work film into your client experience if you’re thinking of offering it next year.

It’s an honest, laid back chat about falling back in love with photography, taking creative risks, and using the slower months to grow in new ways.
