I’ve been shooting film for just under 3 years now and I’ve definitely gotten the hang of it for sure since I do the entire process myself from shooting, developing, and scanning I’ve definitely improved my skills from getting my film accidentally cross processed to mounting my own slides it’s definitely fun even with the price increases I’ve still managed to have fun and create good images
I'd love to see some of those photos you considered "meh" and "throwaway" images like you mentioned around the 11 minute mark. It would be interesting to hear where you think they fell short or missed the mark. Sometimes the "fails" can be just as motivating and educational as the 5 star photos!! Great video, thank you so much for sharing this
As an old analogue photographer, who has photographed digital about 10 years, I have now gone back to analogue as my main photography. And I really enjoy it.
I'm quite drawn into the whole concept of film photography and I can't wait to get my hands on a film camera. I know for sure that this experience is going to be way more magical than it is with my DSLR.
I like how you give us enough time to actually look at the photos before they disappear. Some videos show the photography so fast you have to pause the video. Also, it's really cool how much you learned in a year!
Loved this video and seeing how your style changed and developed (pun intended) over the past year. I'm the same way in that I'm a digital native and started shooting film a year ago too. I may put up a video like this too exploring my first year of film photos!
I have only done black and white film photography in my highschool. But I fell in love with the process of shooting, developing, and scanning film. I recently bought a Canon Elan II and can’t wait to see how it works, and apply my new knowledge of photography to take good photos
I just loaded up my first roll of film!! And I’m so excited to get started >< P.S feel free to share any tips you guys may have! P.S again, I rly love the Oct 2021 photos ❤️
i totally feel this whole "Digital Backup"-Thing. I always have this fear of Messing up because i dont have a instant feedback on film, but most of the time it goes fine
You're rushing the process. Success is a long journey. Enjoy it. Have fun. I've never met a photographer, who had a roll that had an entirely good set.
Aww cool, thanks! I really like the space and the scale of that one, the way how the model is small but still a central part of the photograph. If only the other people weren't there😩🤷🏻♂️
i watched this months ago when i was going to buy a film camera but I never bit the bullet. Now, I got a lot of birthday money on top of the money I had saved up so I finally decided to buy my first (and second) film camera: an Ilford Sprite 35-II, a point and shoot reminiscent of disposable camera but reusable; and a canon AE-1. i loved this video and it’s one of the reasons i bought them :)
Teo! Excellent video! Your passion for photography is contagious! Always good to look back and see where you have been, all you accomplished and learned over the year! Thanks for sharing your journey with us and looking forward to the future!
That feeling that those photos are the best I‘ve ever taken will not easily come back to me, since I shot slide film in Africa in 1996 and it‘s extremely difficult for me today to shoot photos today that can compete with those safari photos.
Hi Teo, great video as always! Could you please do a film photography 101 video where you tell us all the issues you've encountered in your journey? I want to get started on this, but I feel like there is a lot to know. Keep up the amazing work bro!
Hellooo, thank you!🙇🏻♂️🤗 Honestly I don't know how much value that would add to this platform seeing as there are already so many film 101 videos on TH-cam from photographers that have far more experience than I have🤔🤷🏻♂️
Idk if it's just me but your photos giving me serene thoughts and vibes. Sooo so beautiful, unique, and natural in between moments. I love watching every second of this
Aww thank you so much!🥺🙇🏻♂️ I'm so happy to know that the photographs can connect with you on a felt level, even if it's not the feelings I get. Simply that you feel something means a lot to me🤗
Nice to hear you talk about your progress. I really like the pairing of the shots at 16:07 - the pillow (?) held by the guy on the left (and the flash light) match the light on the clouds on the right.
I don’t really know what scanner you’re using but I would definitely suggest a dedicated scanner (as opposed to a flat bed). This film lab probably has an extremely high end version of a dedicated scanner but it really pays off even for the cheaper one I have. I have the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i and the detail it can resolve is incredible. Flat bed scanners always seem to be too soft.
Just came across you on my recommended. I love those last two shots. They’re amazing. I’ve shooting film for half my life and you’re work is incredible. Can’t wait to see where you’re at in another years time.
I started shooting film at roughly the same time as you and I am so glad to see that I am not the only one to struggle with the analog process in the beginning. The shot at 18:00 is my absolute favorite, keep it up!
Ohh cool, yeah it's definitely a process that takes some time. And mind that I have no clue about developing - that's a whole chapter of the process that I have yet to learn😅 Ohh sweet, which one, left or right? I can't really decide myself but I thiiink I'm leaning towards the tree on the left🧐🤷🏻♂️ Thank you🙇🏻♂️
Being from the film era, I'm always amazed that the younger generation is embracing film, wondering if it works ha. I still like film and have several camera bodies but like you said it's becoming expensive. Keep up the good work and I hope you don't ever lose the film excitement.
This video came recommended on my YT homepage today. It's really cool to both see and hear about your progression! I just subscribed and look forward to watching more.
Hey again! What are you using for scanning? I recently got into “scanning” with my digital camera and the results blew me away! They on another level compared to my epson v550 and they even surpassed my local lab’s Noritsu. I can PM you a couple of examples if you’d like to see them :)
i've been trying this for a while but i just can't get the images to be as sharp as my lab. i use a fujifilm xt3 + canon fd 50mm 3.5 macro (at f8 100ISO and 1/60)
I love the style of your videos so much! I have recently ventured into film photography, and your personal journey is amazing to see. I'm becoming more and more excited about experimenting and broadening my knowledge of film photography! Keen to watch more of your stuff!
Shot film ever since my dad handed me his Argus back in the early 60’s. Someone bought me a nice Nikon digital SLR in the 90’s and I hung up the analog gear. Slowly over time my love of photography waned.. And here’s the thing that I’ve learned. Digital is great. It gets to an end result. But the process is quite different. With film its thoughtful and purposeful. I THINK about what i am going to do. With digital I shoot… shoot .. shoot knowing that I can eventually get to where I want. Its the difference between making love and masturbation. While the end result might be the same … how I got there was quite different and adds immensely to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. Thanks for sharing your discovery.
We seemed to have emerged in this hobby at different ends of the spectrum. You started out with digital then film, whilst I started out with film and just recently digital. My reaction to digital from film was overwhelming. The screen with the digital images straight from the SD card was mesmerizing! But after comparing both digital to film, digital seemed too perfect, still beautiful, and somewhat clinical. Film had more saturated colors, Kodak Ektar 100, while rendering the scenes easier on the eyes. What is your stand on this multi format comparison...?
I think there's no single photographer in the world who gets much more shots per roll they really like than you did there. That's just the nature of the art of photography. :)
Fantastic video, it's amazing seeing all your progress in one video, you're doing well. Also, if you're still having that problem with your k1000 where the winding handle isn't reciprocating, I'd recommend making sure the base of the frame counter is screwed in tightly still. I needed to do internal work on my k1000 recently and had the same reciprocation issue after not screwing it back down tightly enough.
Thank you!🙇🏻♂️ Ahh interesting - I'm a bit afraid of screwing around inside the Pentax haha😅 The issue is there, but it hasn't really hindered my photography process :)
Aaaah this happened to me recently too!! I found my grandpas camera at my grandmas and she said "Oh if you want it please take it!!" I've shot with it all summer, it's been so fun and I'm so excited waiting for the rolls to come back from being developed! I hope you have as much fun as me with this :)
It's great to see your progress. As you do both: film and digital photography, have you thought about using classical lenses on your digital camera?I've been doing that almost from the beginning of my photography journey and last year started also making films with them. I really fell in love with filming although I'm still working on my own approach. I also have a film camera and one roll of film and have been looking forward to try it. Your video has given me the kick to finally do it.
Yes, I've done that before! I actually scan that way haha. I use an old manual macro lens adapted to my digital Sony camera to "scan" my negatives. But apart from that I've used old lenses on digital cameras before and totally get, why it's fun. Actually haven't done it in a while, I should try it out again🤔🙌🏼 Ohh that's great, I'm so happy this could somehow help you to move forward💪🏼🤗
New subscriber here! Thank you for sharing! I just started film photography as a hobby. I'm still getting used to my Lomography simple use reloadable camera before I buy a better one!
I just bought 100 rolls of black and white to celebrate turning 70 next year. (The math doesn't make sense but my emotion based logic does). I shoot both Film, digital and phone. Each has its own reward's. I just want to have the tool to capture what I feel.
Braking a K1000 LOL!! I left mine on the top of a friends car once and they only noticed that it was still there after somebody told them, after they've drove 4 Kms and were at the food of a hill they just went down.
Awesome video! I’ve really been enjoying following your progression with film and hearing you break down your technique and intention for each photo. I just started shooting film in June and have similarly had some good moments along with setbacks :) I think you mentioned in the video that you scan your own photos: do you have a certain technique that works for you? I’d love to get into scanning film, but I don’t have access to super expensive equipment / I don’t know where to start, so hearing your experiences would be amazing!
Thank you, I'm glad this has been somehow interesting🤗 Yeah I do the DSLR-scanning technique (you can find many TH-cam tutorials on this topic). I got quite lucky with the gear actually, because you need a macro lens for this method and I got one from my girlfriend's grandfather who was going to throw the lens away, but then gave it to me instead. Apart from that my set up costed me about 220€: 90€ Lightbed, 30€ second hand film holder (Lomography's "Digitaliza") and the 100€ NegativeLabPro License🤔 I don't know if this is in your budget. If not you can leave away the NegativeLabPro Licence and convert your photos manually with Lightroom's curves. The most important piece is the Lightbed🙌🏼
@@teocrawford Thanks so much for all the info! This is really helpful for me. I should be able to save up that much in a couple months, I might try using Lightroom for the conversions too :)
Hi, I want to ask everyone here something. When I get developed my films, I don't see some of the photos. They're just gone. Why does this happen? It's like losing memories and it's sad
Nice video! I just bought a zenit ttl which i havent got just yet but ill get it in few days. It is my first film camera ever and im so excited! I have only shot video for about one year with a Sony mirrorless so its gonna take time to learn to expose correctly but i think i have a pretty good idea of what to do. Just found your channel, thanks for the great insightful videos on the subject! Subbed. I was born in -81 so guess its kinda weird i have never had a 35mm before 😅
I've been watching film photography videos for several months now. Your channel was recommended to me by youtube and I'm very grateful because your channel is awesome. One question I have for someone who is starting out doing film photography, what app do you use for a light meter?
Absolutely beautiful like usually… 🤩 I have to ask Which are your top 3 absolutely favourite films? And why. This question applies to everyone here, please feel free to answer
Kodak Ultramax 400 for my Barnacks Kodak Ektar 100 for my 1956 Hasselblad Ilford HP5 for B&W in all unless I’m shooting infrared - then JCH Streetpan 400
Thank you! Phew hard to say, because I haven't tried so many film stocks yet to make a proper list of preferences. I can tell you that I love Kodak ColorPlus. But apart from that I don't really know... I might have fallen for Fuji Superia X-Tra400, but I can't really count that since I've only ever shot one roll of that hahah. I have yet to try the renowned Portra films so I guess I'll have to answer this some other time when I have more experience🙌🏼
@@teocrawford Really curious for that! let us know your opinions about the portra films once you've tried (some of) them. Also would love to have a video on how you scan and your negative lab pro process
Also speaking of “success rate,” personally speaking, after I learned how shutter speed, aperture and film speed works, “success rate” started to go up a lot in terms of getting sharp and correctly exposed images
awesome video teo,this very inspiring to look back on what you take in the past to this day .i would likely to try looking back to all my film photography to see the growth.also just an idea maybe next time try to look at photos that you not really like that much maybe we can find whats wrong with the photos :)
I'm not sure actually, because there are already tons of videos on TH-cam that explain exactly the process I do (the video I learned from in the first place haha) You can just search "Film dslr scanning" - that's how I do it🤷🏻♂️🤗
exposure wise, use an incident meter. Don't know that I would trust an app on my phone. Almost always meter for the shadows. Unless its a bright sunny day and the sun is behind you. Then I would meter shadow and meter highlights and get an average. I personally rate film at 1/2 the box speed. 400 ISO film I rate at ISO 200 on the meter
I've been shooting film constantly for a year now, and since where I live there aren't any labs anymore, I have to do the developing myself. At first it was fun and such, but I have to say that I've been shooting less bc I found it kind of tedious to do it myself now. For me that's the worst part, been losing some motivation even
I'd love to see your Film Scanning process. I'm sure i'm not the only one curious!
I was just about to comment this.
please!!
Please
Yes
Please dear god
I’ve been shooting film for just under 3 years now and I’ve definitely gotten the hang of it for sure since I do the entire process myself from shooting, developing, and scanning I’ve definitely improved my skills from getting my film accidentally cross processed to mounting my own slides it’s definitely fun even with the price increases I’ve still managed to have fun and create good images

Aww thank you!🥺
Ohh that's incredible - what a medium can do ey🤷🏻♂️🤗
I just loaded up my first roll of film!! And I’m so excited to get started ><
P.S feel free to share any tips you guys may have!
P.S again, I rly love the Oct 2021 photos ❤️
Misty nights are my favorite weather to shoot in
Your photos are great! it just popped on my recommended. Im working with digital but now I'm kinda inspired to start shooting film
How great the first frame is, that it´s only half the picture and showing a house which looks like someone took a bite out of it.
Love it!
Your May photos (yellow broom in a restaurant and the train) and your last November shots of the misty night were my favorites. Lovely work man
i totally feel this whole "Digital Backup"-Thing. I always have this fear of Messing up because i dont have a instant feedback on film, but most of the time it goes fine
Ohh yes! Maybe over time we'll find more trust in film :)
Your demeanor is so calm and relaxed. I think I’m catching feelings…………..
Thank you for the video. Ive been very anxious about going to places alone and take pictures but analog gave me an excuse yo get out and try it
Love those Misty night images! Film photography has took over my channel in the last year too!
You're rushing the process. Success is a long journey. Enjoy it. Have fun. I've never met a photographer, who had a roll that had an entirely good set.
8:10 - the third shot comes out really nicely.
Aww cool, thanks! I really like the space and the scale of that one, the way how the model is small but still a central part of the photograph. If only the other people weren't there😩🤷🏻♂️

Ohh what an interesting observation, love it thank you! I think he was holding some rolled up white sheets🤔😅

The last ones look insane! They are awesome, it looks like the upside down
Just started exploring film and found your channel. Your videos are so therapeutic! ❤
Loved the process, truly appreciate the journey and GROWTH💯 FILM PHOTOGRAPHY IS WHOLESOME✨

Right after I finished watching your video, I followed your Instagram and subscribed your channel. Your works are spectacular and so inspired to me.
love this! film is so much fun to shoot- I've always shot medium format but playing with 35mm and its very life giving
I love this channel, probably in my top 3 film photography channels.
Aww that's so cool, thank you!🥺🙇🏻♂️
the shot in the mist with the flashlight is BREATHTAKING
Aww thank you!!🥺🙇🏻♂️
I started shooting film at roughly the same time as you and I am so glad to see that I am not the only one to struggle with the analog process in the beginning. The shot at 18:00 is my absolute favorite, keep it up!
Ohh cool, yeah it's definitely a process that takes some time. And mind that I have no clue about developing - that's a whole chapter of the process that I have yet to learn😅
Ohh sweet, which one, left or right? I can't really decide myself but I thiiink I'm leaning towards the tree on the left🧐🤷🏻♂️
Thank you🙇🏻♂️
@@teocrawford The left one; Looks so peaceful 👏
Great episode. I really love to watch how mile step you did with your film photgraphy. Inspiring episode.
Absolutely love the picture off man with the flashlight into the night…. 👍
Aww thanks! :)
Being from the film era, I'm always amazed that the younger generation is embracing film, wondering if it works ha. I still like film and have several camera bodies but like you said it's becoming expensive. Keep up the good work and I hope you don't ever lose the film excitement.
Very nice overview Teo. Time flies when you have fun...I remember almost every photo keep up...
Ohh yes it does👀
Ohh so cool, glad you enjoyed the recap🤗

35mm film the ultimate archival medium. Adore the process, time & investment.
@Mike Zielinski Digital images all look the same. Sharp, dull & boring. 35mm cameras & lenses offer a distinct personality.
Nice job,man!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
amazingly simple yet elegant composition and video quality
Thank you🥺🙇🏻♂️

its almost a year for me aswell and we both have a pentax k1000 👉👈
It's very interesting Teo to see progress made in your photography, I really like the last two misty shots. Well done!

may i ask which metering app you were used in this video please? Thank you!
So cool to see your progress Teo, those misty photos at the end are epic 👌 Look forward to seeing more my friend.
Aww thank you! More is in the making hehe🤩
I love to watch yr video teo, that motivate me more in photography keep going!
I started shooting film on Christmas last year dope video
What app did you use to measure the lighting before taking your pics?
I will try film photography because my grandpa passed a year ago and my grandma gave me his film camera. and I am sooo excited to do it
Aaaah this happened to me recently too!! I found my grandpas camera at my grandmas and she said "Oh if you want it please take it!!"

i remember getting my first rolls developed back in january and i’ve never gone back after
Ohh cool🤩
Hahah what a plunge😂😂🙌🏼
Shooting BW Film is even more nice as you can do the development yourself (I now do with beer and wine).
Thank you for uploading this.

I have only shot video for about one year with a Sony mirrorless so its gonna take time to learn to expose correctly but i think i have a pretty good idea of what to do.
Just found your channel, thanks for the great insightful videos on the subject! Subbed.
I was born in -81 so guess its kinda weird i have never had a 35mm before 😅
Interesting and joyful video .
Thanks 😊.
Aww glad you enjoyed it, thank you!🤗
Great to see the progress man 👊🏽
Sweet, thanks mate!🙇🏻♂️
I tell the lab not to scan. It means that the film is handled less, and it's better to scan it yourself and work out what you need to do.
I've been watching film photography videos for several months now. Your channel was recommended to me by youtube and I'm very grateful because your channel is awesome. One question I have for someone who is starting out doing film photography, what app do you use for a light meter?
Aww thank you, I'm so happy you're enjoying it🤗
I just use an App called "Lightmeter Free" haha😅😅
Question: what are you looking for when using the light meter, to take a good film shot?
All the time that I watch a video about film, my desire to buy an analog camera increase 1000x hehe
Great video and nice pics!
Hahah I know exactly what you're feeling😅😂
Thank you!🤗🙇🏻♂️
Absolutely beautiful like usually… 🤩 I have to ask
Which are your top 3 absolutely favourite films? And why.
This question applies to everyone here, please feel free to answer
ill go first:
Portra 400 (its so flexible)
Kodak Gold 200 (perfect in summer its just so pretty)
Fuji c200 (love the greens makes it perfect for fall)
Kodak Ultramax 400 for my Barnacks
Kodak Ektar 100 for my 1956 Hasselblad
Ilford HP5 for B&W in all unless I’m shooting infrared - then JCH Streetpan 400
Thank you!
Phew hard to say, because I haven't tried so many film stocks yet to make a proper list of preferences.
I can tell you that I love Kodak ColorPlus. But apart from that I don't really know... I might have fallen for Fuji Superia X-Tra400, but I can't really count that since I've only ever shot one roll of that hahah. I have yet to try the renowned Portra films so I guess I'll have to answer this some other time when I have more experience🙌🏼
@@teocrawford Really curious for that! let us know your opinions about the portra films once you've tried (some of) them.
Also would love to have a video on how you scan and your negative lab pro process
8:58 the color is so lovely! Now I want to shoot color plus
Also speaking of “success rate,” personally speaking, after I learned how shutter speed, aperture and film speed works, “success rate” started to go up a lot in terms of getting sharp and correctly exposed images
Right!? I love ColourPlus😅
Yeah I noticed the same for myself too, but I'm still only at maybe 70%-80% - practice lays ahead I guess💪🏼🤗
You make film look good.
19:00 😯 amazing
Aww thank you! 🙇🏻♂️
Great photos and video man, really cool seeing your journey :)
awesome video teo,this very inspiring to look back on what you take in the past to this day .i would likely to try looking back to all my film photography to see the growth.also just an idea maybe next time try to look at photos that you not really like that much maybe we can find whats wrong with the photos :)
Amazing. Thank you for sharing the last two photos are definitely my fav. Would love to do this myself. I think you just inspired me
Hi Teo, can you make a video about your scan process? It would be helpful for beginners ☺️
I'm not sure actually, because there are already tons of videos on TH-cam that explain exactly the process I do (the video I learned from in the first place haha)
You can just search "Film dslr scanning" - that's how I do it🤷🏻♂️🤗
what film stock were you using for these photos? Subed and looking forward to more content
i havent watched in a while and i like your long hair. reminds me of james bay. im curious how you develop scan the photos.
Love your videos, wondering what percent is analog compared to digital in your photography?
exposure wise, use an incident meter. Don't know that I would trust an app on my phone. Almost always meter for the shadows. Unless its a bright sunny day and the sun is behind you. Then I would meter shadow and meter highlights and get an average. I personally rate film at 1/2 the box speed. 400 ISO film I rate at ISO 200 on the meter
I want to start doing photos and videos with an analogic camera.
Luv every piece of ur creation.
What is the name of the app u used before u shot?
I've been shooting film constantly for a year now, and since where I live there aren't any labs anymore, I have to do the developing myself. At first it was fun and such, but I have to say that I've been shooting less bc I found it kind of tedious to do it myself now. For me that's the worst part, been losing some motivation even
