Thank you for sharing your stories and for starting a Substack.
I recently got back from a seven-month trip across Central Asia, Tibet, India, Nepal… Every moment was captured with my medium format camera, carefully measuring light with an old digital spot meter. Shooting film is such an experience. I think it allows for a completely different approach, somehow more artistic. When it comes to portraits, people are often intrigued by the technique and are more likely to take part in the project. I guess they can better feel the creation of your work rather than just having their "privacy violated.”
Dream work trip! excited for your next one on why you're shooting film, I used to shoot a lot of film but as I get more and more commercial work I stopped shooting film for digital's convenience and reliability, but do feel like my work now lacks life and creativity 😮💨
Thanks for thr very dreamy and romantic photographic meal! I checked the rest of thr photos and they tell a magnificent story. I'm guessing you were in Luxor not Cairo. Sadly, most of Egypt isn't as calm or clean nowadays but we still have places like this that should be cherished and preserved.

It is also sooo nice to wait for the results! ✨
You are so right. It changes everything.
