Exploring Film Photography has brought a sense of relaxation and mindfulness to my creative process, allowing me to escape the fast-paced world of digital photography. Shooting on Film is an enjoyable experience in itself. The tactile nature of handling film cameras and manually setting everything is a satisfying departure from digital automation. With Film, there's no instant gratification, the anticipation of waiting for it to be developed adds a layer of excitement and appreciation for the Art of Photography. Shooting Film allows me to break free from the pressure of likes and engagement on Instagram: I can focus on capturing images that resonate with me, rather than what the audience expects. Film Photography carries a timeless aesthetic that can't be replicated digitally: the warm tones, grain, and imperfections add character and charm to my photographs. The imperfections of film are part of its beauty: dust, scratches, and light leaks tell a story and add uniqueness to each image. Going back to film has rekindled my passion for photography, it's a reminder of why I fell in love with this art form in the first place and how it continues to evolve, both in the digital and analog worlds.
