Slowing down with Film Photography

Charlotte, NC Documentary Film photography

Film photography has gained popularity in the past years, and it is something that I always include in my work. I have been passionate about film photography for the past 10 years form the first moment I stepped into the dark room. For me film is not an add on, its engrained into how I shoot and tell stories. I hope my work can connect with individuals who share the same passion for the art of film photography.

At Charlotte Film Photographer, I create every image with purpose and intention, striving to unveil the essence of your story. My photography is not merely a transaction; it's a journey built on friendship and connection. I love the slowness of film. I think that great things take time, and so should your images. I'm captivated by the deeply soulful, joyous moments, and the profound intimacy that unfolds between people and getting to capture that on film warms my heart. For those who choose me as their North Carolina film photographer, I am wholeheartedly committed to bringing these precious moments to life through the timeless beauty of film photography.

Why Film Photography?

North Carolina Film photography || Film for every moment

 
 

Capturing The Moment

Film photography is the moment captured and unedited. Everything with film is exactly how the moment was without post-production. That is the beauty of film, we can see an exact moment in time.

The Film Difference

the difference between film and digital is in the details, film captures an image is a soft, creamy, and romantic way that is difficult to explain but easy to see. Film photographs have a nostalgic quality that is not easy replicated.

Polaroids and instant Gratification

there is something other worlds about watching a photo develop in-front of your eyes. Polaroid photos are my favorite inclusion for wedding packages. I cal also include polaroids to any session upon request.
