About this listen

Do you remember the joy of going to a photo studio to collect "developed" photos days after dropping off a 35mm film roll? Nobody had a clue if they were gonna be any good until the roll was developed, and the only thing you could be sure of was that the empty black film canister would be used to roll dice.

Back then, photography was slow and deliberate. Each photo was clicked with a lot of thought, and mistakes meant losing photos clicked over weeks. "Trends" arrived slower and lasted decades too because experimenting was expensive and photography, for the masses, was more serious.

Then came the digital cameras and we all gradually flipped towards checking our photos on screens and chimping into the screens after every shot.

However, film is back, not just with photography nerds obsessing over old mechanical cameras and darkrooms in their houses but actually slipping into the mainstream with genZ (yeah, who would have thought) adopting it in a big way. In this episode, we discuss what is driving this revival of film photography and how you can get started with it.
