Forget digital cameras, here’s why you need this retro film camera in 2025

Despite what you may have heard, film photography is not dead! Much like print magazines, film photography is very much alive, and I’m very grateful for that (you can say I studied magazine journalism). Just like bucket hats and bell bottom jeans have come back into fashion, so has film photography. In the age of social media where people spend hours searching for the “perfect” Instagram nourish, there is something charming and almost seductive about the film’s imperfection.

Almost all of my friends own a disposable or reusable film camera, and it’s fun to shoot with them. I even attended a wedding where there was a disposable camera on every table, and when the photos came back a few days later, we couldn’t help but laugh at the stolen moments captured.
