Why I Still Love Film Photography in 2022 (Vlog) 

Shooting film is just a vibe. :) I think digital and film really compliment each other. Film makes shooting digital feel faster and more free. Digital makes shooting film feel more 'in-the-moment' and creative. I love them both for different reasons. I have shot digital for 7 years. I have shot film for the last month. I have learned so much from film. I feel like I have improved more in the last month than I have in those 7 years. I have come to love the full manual experience. I love everything about film, so far. I'm even getting into developing my own. Film has taught me a lot about the relationship of light to my settings and the effects it will have on my experience and the photo itself. I have also raised the camera and not shot more times since shooting film. It isn't the price of the film, it is the time it takes to advance the film, refocus, double check exposure, etc. Like you said, I have gotten much better at picking the correct moment which has led me to some very good photos the other day when shooting digital. Before, I was so distracted with snapping pictures, I would miss fine details or miss a good moment due to waiting on the SD card buffer. (I have an older camera).

Yay more Ricoh action, thank you

Agree on all points. There certainly is a whole other level of character in film photos that is just impossible to recreate on digital. I'm excited every time I'm out shooting film.

I love film too but it's getting just so expensive :'( and there's really so little places that still developed it

I appreciate that you shoot film but it costs a lot for me. Also i dont want to slow down and think always that im very limited on clicks. Besides that i really prefer high quality, crispy photos. I have never tried film and i hope i will get the feelings of all these things you mentioned but maybe in a few years. You really deserve many thumbs up for the content! Keep up Teemu!

Love every time I watch one of your videos I get super excited to go and buy a film camera but then the next day I don't I need to jump ship and go get a film camera 📸😄any recommendations for a easy to use entry level film camera

Vision3 (mitä myös Cinestill on), toimii mainiosti elokuvafilminä, mutta en ole aivan varma ECN-2 negan toimivuudesta paperikuvan teossa. Uuden polven skannaajille tämä ei toki ole mikään ongelma, mutta pimiössä pliisut negatiivit eivät toimi kovinkaan hyvin. Myöskään tulokset ristiinkehittämällä se C-41-kemioilla eivät ehkä ole kaikkein parhaita, vaikka se ratkaiseekin osan tästä kontrastiongelmasta. Menee minun mielestäni vähän turhan "lomografiaksi". Halot ovat aika pahoja noilla kinofilmeillä, joista remjet on poistettu. Toki valikoima 800 ISO:n negatiivifilmeissä on nykyään Portra, ja nämä Vision3 500T:n versiot, joihin esimerkiksi Cinestill 800 kuuluu. Toivottavasti Fujin filmituotanto elpyy jossain vaiheessa, koska heillä on ollut koko tehdas Japanissa kiinni koronan vuoksi. Pisteet toki Kodakille, mutta olisi hyvä, jos valikoimaa olisi enemmän. (As the author of this video seems to be Finnish, I decided to comment in my native Finnish instead of English. Please, don´t be offended if you don´t speak this language,)

Film to me is very fun and causes me to slow down enjoy and shoot. The composition is more important when every frame has a cost. Are you hand holding the cinestill?

Are you from Finland, Teemu?

Am I allowed to ask what this guy actually does, photographer by profession, doesn't seem enough to pay the bills though? Anyway, consistently great videos man

I don’t think film is dead, but I think people will shoot less film with the prices being high.

आपका Vlog तो बहुत अच्छा है Full Support Ji मैं भी Vlog बनाता हूं देखकर बताएं कैसा है !

Yea i love film photography but the film price itself is horrifying

I totally agree with your point of view. Especially with the third perspective you talked about!

I try and buy consumer colour film stocks, and buy tactically where I can. For Black and White, that tends to be the cheaper route and I dig the look. Though recently instant film has been kicking me lol - Polaroids are just expensive, but buying bulk can ease the expense

It's not bad. It's just much too expensive nowadays...... I love shooting film, by the way.

I agree with all the points, and I especially like the idea that it allows us to see our work in 3rd person. When I get my photos back, there’s always an element of surprise ❤️ but anyways, always love your work, Teemus

That’s cool… where exactly is that film vending machine? Will have to go there when I’m back in Seoul..

Can you please link or put more details on the development Shop? Thank you

I like film photography, but outside of Ektar 100 or Provia 100 I really don't like the warm green shift look. I think mostly because of all the digital imitators out there shooting daylight at like 7600k with a greasy pro mist filter on, to mimic an idea of portra, but really they just oblierate the colours and contrast.

Friend of mine just gave me a k1000 and I’m so excited to try film photography. Has the original 50mm f2 lense however i do think j have my eyes on that same 50mm f 1.4 just for the extra flexibility

The leak on the GR1 might be on the opposite edge than you taped because the image is created upside down in the camera. Think of it as a view camera.

When you shot Portra in a foggy early morning seoul… those photos were so ethereal! I still think about those photos

You really like rainy Seoul. 😉

Hi bro, do you do smartphone photography too? if yes, what kind of phone do you use?

Being a film photographer, this is the kind of video that I always wait for you to upload. 😃 The long exposure shots you took in Dubai looks good! I wonder why you didn't upload those on Instagram. Anyways, keep shooting film! Love how most of your photos turned out.

I love the Pentax MX, but has some quirks that some times can be a bit annoying, with mine sometimes if you hit the shutter release button too hard, can cause a blank frame, I don't know why, but other than that is a really lovely and very enjoyable camera. I have the same 50mm f/1.4 and is really amazing, I love this lens, is on my MX almost all the time.

2:43 I swear if I kept this stuff at home my family would think I'm going through medications. I mean seriously it looks like some medicine. lol 😂 Btw great video. I really love & enjoy this types of video. 🤗

Btw I really like the day time photos. The daytime film photos you took with the xpan in earlier vids from korea (busan, and the one in the alleys) were super nice as well. You don't get to bash your skills as a daytime street photographer any longer 😋

This is very cool!

how do you get film shots on a computer?
