Film Photography 101: A Video Course

Going from digital photography to film photography can be tricky, but in this video course, I’ll try to break it down for you.

The camera I use for film photography is the beautiful Canon AE-1.

Episode 1

This video covers all the basics of film photography. We talk about how to pick your 35mm film camera and how to use the ISO, shutter speed, aperture and getting the sharp photos by mastering the focus.

What rolls do I recommend for street photography?

Kodak Portra 400 is the king of color negative film.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 is the best all-around black and white film roll.

Kodak TRI-X 400: This is my favorite stock for black and white portraits.
