Film of The Month (FOTM)

Film photography offers a distinct, tactile experience that contrasts with digital’s immediacy. Each shot requires thoughtful consideration, deepening our connection to the art and fostering a more intentional approach to capturing moments.

Preserving film photography is about honoring a tradition that has shaped visual art. Film’s unpredictability and unique characteristics add depth and character to each image, encouraging us to slow down and explore new creative possibilities. By keeping film alive, we celebrate its timeless beauty and ensure that this cherished medium continues to inspire future generations.

While many classic film stocks have been discontinued, a variety of new and existing options still thrive. These diverse film types allow photographers to experiment with different aesthetics, textures, and tones, each supporting a unique creative vision.

Film Reviews


Lomo Metropolis

Shooting with it made the process adventurous, I've been hunting for anything red & green just to emphasize it's quirk making these colors pop out.

Kodak Colour Plus 200

I love this film because it’s versatile, no matter if it’s day or night. The tone of the photos is not too warm and too cool which is really great.

Kodak Colour Plus 200

Beautiful slight warm tone that suits almost every scene, cost effective.

Fuji C200

Quite vivid colours, fine grain, brings out green hues nicely!

Harman Phoenix

I am drawn to the film’s warm tones, and I find it exciting to find out how the photographs would turn out due to its experimental nature.

Lomo Lady Grey

Affordable, good latitude, flat tone.

Lomo Turquoise

Whacky colour-shifting properties that changes your perspective. Also turns people to Smurfs!

Kodak Ultramax 400

It has high tolerance, I like to shoot outdoor, I like its colour saturation that it won't be too bright colours in a big sun or colours too gloomy although sometimes doesn't have a good sunlight

Fomapan 100

Love the contrast. Always makes the photos pop out really well.

Fomapan 100

Affordable b&w film with really good contrast.

Lomo 100

Vibrant, high contrast film with a fine grain. It offers unique look with rich colors and is ideal for daylight photography

Lomo 800

So far from my experience, this film has the best underexposure latitude of its kind.

Lomo 800

I really like how the blues and greens look. The 800 speed is also great in dimmer conditions.
