Film photography is back, baybee! From Ilford to Phoenix, Kodak to Polaroid, I’m lucky enough to speak with loads of folks who shoot film every day. Here are some of my favourite episodes with photographers who specialise in using 35mm film for their work.

Cover art for a podcast episode titled "Prime Lenses Silvergrain Classics Episode Seventy-Seven" featuring a black and white photo of two people, a woman and a man, inside a circular frame on a yellow background with black text and camera icons.

Episode 77 - Silvergrain Classics

Marwan and Charys are the folks behind Silvergrain Classics, a magazine dedicated to film photography. Not many people love analogue photography enough to make a camera, but these guys do!

Book cover titled 'Prime Lenses' by Amelia Le Brun, featuring a photograph of a smiling woman outdoors with a camera around her neck, set against a yellow background with black text and camera icons.

Episode 67 - Amelia Le Brun

Amelia is an amazing British photographer with a cool dog and a kick ass van. She posts about her travels with her camera frequently and it was a pleasure to sit with her to talk film photography.

Cover of "Prime Lenses" book, featuring a man with a beard holding a camera to his eye, set against a yellow background with black text and camera icons.

Dan Rubin is a globe trotting film photographer based in London. He moved to film from digital to get more consistency from his work without many hours spent in Lightroom.

Book cover titled "Prime Lenses" by Amy Elizabeth, a photographer and teacher. The cover has a yellow background with black text and features a black-and-white photo of a woman with long hair, looking upward. There are small camera icons in the bottom left corner.

Episode 58 - Amy Elizabeth

Amyliz is not only an artist and photographer, but she also runs a lab where she specialises in processing people’s film soup! This unique approach to developing film creates a really different type of image that favours a very personal form of expression.

Yellow cover page titled "Prime Lenses" with large black text. Subheading "Episode Four" and "Ben Fraternale Photographer / YouTuber" in smaller black text. A Polaroid photo of a man wearing glasses, a red cap with white text, and a floral shirt is attached to the page. Two camera icons are at the bottom left.

Ben is a photographer, director and YouTuber probably most widely known for his work on In an Instant. He’s an atomic bomb of enthusiasm and Polaroid information and was great fun to talk to. I challenge you to not buy a new Polaroid camera after listening to him :)
