I snapped this on Kodak Porta 160 over the 2023 to 2024 summer. Just a random shot, mainly because I like the building. The style has a great revitalised art deco feel to it, seen a lot in Adelaide and it is just great. So I did a bit of...
Something about that distant stare and capturing the emotion of the portrait subject. I was never very close to this particular elderly relative. I wish I had been closer to be honest. Looking back, I wonder if she was always depressed and therefore was difficult to get along with. She...
I shot this back in 2018 on a photowalk in Galwer, South Australia. I am so pleased with the colours, saturation and dynamic range that Kodak Ektar gave me for this shot. Everything is well exposed, the details are there, and the shot has a timeless feel to it. Timeless,...
I don’t know about you (obviously) but I’m not a fan of eScooters. Probably because I was almost taken out by one when they first started to appear in Australia. And, I’m not really a fan of how they end up getting left everywhere. And being a germaphobe, I don’t...
I like this photo. I grabbed it while travelling with Kodak Ektar and the Leica 50mm Summilux. I just like the expression of the guy giving the cup of drink to the girl. Then the other excited girl skipping in. This is something I really like about 50mm lenses especially...
I saw this picture coming across Trafalgar Square. I put myself in danger a bit by stepping out into the street to capture it, but hey, I think the result was worth it. I love the colours and the way Kodak Ektar captured the vibrant colours and evening light. 2...
Providore at the Adelaide Central Market is a bit of a favourite of mine. Fair warning this share is meant to be a street photo taken on Kodak Portra 160 but could turn into a review telling you how great Providore is. On the photo, if you have viewed other...
A colour scheme from the 1990s. Which is why is was so fitting to take this shot on a somewhat niche older film. Coles Express in Australia is a bit of a roadside icon. I just like the look of the 1990s vintage colours and layout, nothing in them has...
Film photography is more than just a medium—it’s an experience that embodies patience, precision, and an appreciation for the craft. In an age of instant digital results, shooting on film invites photographers to slow down, carefully consider each frame, and embrace the unpredictable beauty of analog. From the tactile feel of loading film into a camera to the anticipation of developing the negatives, film photography is a journey as much as it is an art form.
This gallery is a tribute to the enduring allure of film photography, featuring a variety of genres, from dreamy landscapes to authentic street scenes and nostalgic portraits. Each image reflects the distinct qualities of film—its rich tonal range, organic grain, and subtle imperfections that digital can’t replicate. Beyond the aesthetics, film has a way of telling stories that feel grounded and deeply personal.
Explore the timeless appeal of film photography and rediscover the artistry of capturing light and life on celluloid. Whether you’re a seasoned analog enthusiast or a curious newcomer, let these images inspire you to see the world through a different lens. Celebrate the magic, emotion, and craftsmanship that only film photography can deliver.
I’m a Leica Street photographer, traveller, avid reviewer, marketer and blogger. I am, by my own admission, a gear nut but I don’t buy gear just to test it or pixel peep. I’m only interested in the art that can be produced with the gear. And seeing what emotions can be brought out in those who see my photos.
