The Wonderful World
Of Film
Blink and you’ll miss it.
"There's a magic in the imperfections of film photography. The grain, the light leaks, the unpredictable colors - they all contribute to the story behind the image."

Session + Collection
The session is a flat fee for the time of photography only.
Because of the nature of film, I’ve made the session fee as risk free for you as possible, essentially the session fee just covers the price of film & developing (yes, it’s that expensive!)
The session fee includes a slideshow of the images and then you can decide whether to purchase the set of images. If you don’t fancy what you see on the slideshow, then don’t worry about purchasing the collection.

Why Film?
My love affair with film started in 2004 and has never stopped. There were times it took a backseat as the world of digital photography exploded into existence, but it never really left my side. In 2009, I published a book called Perfect Imperfection - a series of photographs that weren’t technically perfect but captured the beauty of moment. Most of my favourites images in that book was photographed on film.
Over the last 8 years, my love for film photography has exponentially grown, and most of my personal work is on film which you can find on my blog called Otherwise Ordinary Tuesdays.
To me, film is wonderful and magical - the depth and tones, the grain and texture, the way it relates to light - it’s something that digital cannot seem to replicate - trust me I’ve tried! Photographing in film excites me and makes me nervous - a good kind of nervous, the kind of nervous when you go on a first date, or you hold your baby for the first time.Booking in a Film Photography Session
Once you are ready to book in a session, let me know and we can schedule in a date & time that works best for both our schedules. With film photography, there are more limitations with light, so we need to be more conscious of the weather and time of day.
The film session will last up to 2 hours.
It might take shorter, but with film, the moments cannot be rushed.
Film is a much slower process, hence the slightly longer session time compared to what I offer on digital photography sessions.
There will be times I will just be hanging out with you - don’t worry it’s all part of the process.
Film is very much about waiting for the right moments.
”Film photography is not about perfection; it's about capturing the essence of a moment, imperfections and all.”
The session fee only covers time for photography, and a 24 hour slideshow preview.
You can read up on tips on how to prepare for the photography session here.Slideshow Preview (available for 24 hours)
2-3 weeks after the photography session, you will receive a link to the custom slideshow.
The custom slideshow is a preview of your session. I’d encourage you to gather your family together to view the slideshow - the first viewing is always the most magical.
Your slideshow will be available for 24 hours from the first time you open it and will be available to be viewed as many times as you wish until the expiry period.
The custom slideshow will give you an insight to whether you would like to purchase the film collection or not.Choose your Collection
There is only one collection available for the film session.
If you like what you see on the slideshow, follow the prompts for the Display Collection
Display Collection ($600) - This collection will give you access to download all the images (70+) and also includes a sizeable print credit of $100, which can be used in the online store. You will also be able to download the custom slideshow.Access your Personalised Viewing Gallery and Online Store
Once you have paid for your collection you will receive full access to your viewing gallery and online store. You will be able to download your images in full resolution. You will have access to the online store, which offers artisanal products such as handmade prints and bespoke frames.
FAQs
-
Yes of course!
I have children myself so I know how easy is it for kids to bring home all kinds of germs and viruses. I’d ask that you let me know at least 24 hours ahead of time so I can make appropriate changes to my schedule as well. -
Film is a love of mine, so essentially this is a passion project rather than way to earn income.
The cost of shooting film compared to digital is much higher because of the film itself, processing and scanning.
I want to be able photograph more families on film, so have tried to make it as accessible as possible for those who love the medium. -
As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a family. Feel free to get your extended family in on the action for an extra $30 per extended family member.
My aim is to capture the authentic moments in a parent-child relationship, so we generally focus on that for the majority of the session. Children can get overwhelmed or distracted when there are too many people around, so I’d ask that extended family to only join towards the end of the session. -
What an amazing idea!
I can provide you an e-voucher and will contact the recipient to arrange a date and time to schedule a session. I generally recommend purchasing the Family Portraits + Basic Collection as a gift (they can always upgrade to the Display Collection once they see the slideshow)
If you are on a budget, you can just purchase the Family Portraits session, but remember that they will only receive the custom slideshow for 24 hours, but they can always purchase a collection themselves in order to receive something tangible. -
The most professional and finest print lab in Australia is attached to the online store where you can use your print credit. They offer artisanal, premium print products such as photos, frames, cards, etc. You can have a look at a sample gallery & what the online store offers here.
For clients outside of Australia, if you prefer not to have the print credit, you can trade it in for half the value. Eg $100 Print Credit = $50 off collection price -
If the forecast is not looking great, we can definitely reschedule.
At the end of the day, I want to be able to provide you with the best images, which means having good light as well. I’d ask that we reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.
