Here's a photo I took of the Andromeda Galaxy on Ektar 100, this easily has become one of my favorite film stocks for astrophotography. I'm working on some more abstract and cool stuff, so please follow along on my journey. I'm excited to share more of my work with everyone in the future. :) Details: 🔎 Pentax EDUF 100 📸 Nikon F2 🎞 Ektar 100 🕑 1.5 hours 🔭 Vixen SXP guided" - Kai

August Arena @farmed_it is a film photographer from San Francisco, California. Images shot on #ektar, #gold200, and #portra160. "I tend to be drawn to moments that evoke feelings of nostalgia in my photos. I’m drawn to shapes, shadows, and color with which i try to convey the feeling of a distant memory. I made the switch to shooting solely film about a year ago, which has allowed me to fully lean into my creative style." - August

Adán Huertas @stimulateyourocularsenses is a film photographer from New York. Images shot on #trix400. "I am based in New York and shoot primarily B&W. While I don’t like to limit myself by saying that I only photograph a specific style like street or architecture, I do gravitate to take photos of scenes and things that look “timeless”. It brings me the most pleasure if I can take a photograph that could have seemingly been taken at any point in time. I use B&W more than anything else because I do have a penchant for printing in my college’s darkroom and I love having the ability of seeing the film process to the end. From shooting, to developing and to printing I love it all. This allows me full control of my photographs and I believe that it helps me produce even better work than if I would send my images to a film lab. While born and raised in Staten Island, NY my family hails from Mexico and I have the privilege of being able to visit my family there every few years. Most of the images submitted here were from the most recent trip to visit and believe it to be some of my best work so far. As for my work in NY however, I do my best to venture into Manhattan to take more photos but with the combination of the current freezing weather and my growing amount of college assignments it’s become a difficult task. But I always make time and plan to continue photographing far into the future especially during the summer as I am more active during that season. I hope to be able to travel across the U.S as well during that time to be able to cultivate my photography even more." - Adan

Our next Photographer Highlights series features Wojtek Nowicki @szumi_ziarno, a photographer based in Norway. Images shot on #ektar. "Behind my photography and outdoor lifestyle there is a deep respect and connection to nature. I carry my analog camera and lenses in already heavy backpack to my outdoor advantures, particularly freeride skiing and climbing. I want to share my way of seeing through film photography and to inspire others to be outdoors. Through my pictures I invite you to explore landscapes which often are difficult to reach and perhaps let you daydream." - Wojtek You can read more about his work and process on our website under “Photographer Stories”.
