About film photography

Film photography (a.k.a. analogue photography) is a means of capturing images on film, a light-sensitive medium that darkens when exposed to light. A darkroom is where film development occurs. Liquid chemicals are used to process negatives of the film roll, and prints are produced when the film contents are transferred onto paper. The larger the film format or size, the higher the image resolution. The grainy film look adds an organic warmth which digital cameras cannot replicate. When photographs are imprinted onto three-dimensional surfaces, the images are transformed into photography structures with entirely different form and textures. These structures straddle photography and installation art, by immersing viewers in the given space, activating their spatial senses to go beyond the flat and two-dimensional.
