Film



Why I Shoot Film  

Adding film into my workflow has changed the way I see and photograph moments. Film naturally slows everything down — it asks me to be intentional and wait for the moments that truly matter. Every frame is a choice, and that purpose is what I love most about it. The texture, depth, and honesty of film bring something special to my work, and I carry that same mindset into my digital images. For me, film isn’t about taking more — it’s about noticing more.
