The fun of film is off the charts, and it’s a very tangible way to create a photo: nothing but light and chemicals.
Film comes in all flavors, from light-leak experimental 35mm film to ultra-high resolution 4×5, 8×10, and ultra-large formats. No matter what type you try, I think you’ll learn something new about photography and enjoy the process along the way.
Even if you’re a veteran film user and film isn’t new to you, it’s still fun to pull out your old 35mm camera and shoot a few rolls. You may find that it brings back a few aspects of how you used to shoot that could be relevant on digital as well.
Or even better, sign up for the The Pinhole workshop with the Alternative print workshop and build your own camera from scratch, expose a number of films and print them in a traditional darkroom.
Hunters of Light is an initiative to help motivate and inspire photographers. We welcome photographers of all skill levels and all camera brands, this group is all about creating beautiful images.
The Hunters of Light was founded by Quintin Mills, a Johannesburg photographer and videographer.
