When and how did the film journey begin for you? I’ve been shooting photos since I was 17, and started professionally about 5 years ago. I started shooting film at the beginning of 2015. I was not feeling challenged as a photographer anymore, so I decided to take the step into shooting film.

Hi everyone, I would like to share with you a happy story of medium format perseverance, analog faith, unconditional film love, and some kick-assing top of the notch camera. Namely, a Rolleiflex 3.5F Planar. But let's make it short. (I will break the narrative by putting photos taken at different times with the camera in question.)
