There’s something timeless about black-and-white film. It strips away distractions and reveals the spirit of a moment. Modern iPhones can take incredible pictures, but there’s an authenticity to film that’s hard to replicate. Every shot on film feels more intentional, like it’s part of a classic movie. The grain, the contrast, the imperfections—everything combines to create an atmosphere that digital filters just can’t recreate. It’s not just about capturing an image; it’s about capturing a moment, frozen in time.
Recently, I bought my first roll of black-and-white film and decided to use it during a special event. My friends and I dressed up in fancy outfits, and shooting it on film made the day feel even more like a classic movie. It was the kind of thing you don’t see much anymore, and I’d love to bring that back—those moments where you slow down, put some thought into the day, and capture it in a way that feels like a piece of history. Film forces you to do that. You’re limited by the number of shots, so every frame matters.
