One-Minute Reads about Film Photography

One photographer’s opinion on the ongoing debates about digital vs film photography.

In searching for some good content on the advantages or disadvantages of film photography, I came across an excellent article by Natalie Carrasco on the website MOMENTS.

Sticking with my endeavor of one-minute reads, below are a few excerpts from the full article (an excellent read when you have more than a minute to spare.) I agree with her thoughts:

I fell in love with the distinct transformation of my photography through analog: the art of taking it slow . . . Film brought a natural simplicity to my visual storytelling, a quality I had long wanted but never quite found easy in digital formats. Each photograph became more intentional, pushing me to be fully present as an artist.

Carrasco goes on in her article to describe various films incuding: Kodak film stocks hold a special place in photographers’ hearts for their classic charm and reliability.

Beyond some of the classic looks achieved from film stocks, just consider slowing down, being in the moment, and capturing some slices of life with a traditional approach to photography.
