Shooting film seems to be a lot like fashion: trends tend to repeat themselves. As portrayed in many editorials, blogs, photographer’s works, and even posts on Instagram, film is the new wave. Everyone is going out to buy disposable cameras; some even reminisce about the 20th century, thrifting for old film cameras so they can get their photos developed. But now that we have cell phones with instant photography, why would anyone want to go through all the trouble of shooting with film? What is it about film photography that young people find so attractive?
“Anyone can do it. Not everyone can dance or sing, but you don’t necessarily have to have that much prior experience to shoot film. Anyone can capture moments through film...like time in a bottle.” - Justin You
