A film photographer’s statement about Cristal
This statement is about Cristal, a film photographer who has inspired many and drawn inspiration from the world with her captivating images and unique perspective.
Photography has always been my passion—mainly because it allows me to capture extraordinary moments without having to be presentable myself. As a kid, I would sneakily grab my mom’s ancient snapshot camera, which looked like it was straight out of a dinosaur’s pocket, and attempt to immortalise everything around me. Watching the photos develop in the darkroom was like waiting for a surprise party—only instead of confetti, you got a blurry mess or a picture of my thumb blocking the lens!
In a world where photos are more accessible to snap than ever—thanks, smartphones!—we might forget just how vital an excellent old framed photo is. I hope this website becomes a sanctuary for fellow photo enthusiasts. Let’s gather away from the digital chaos and reminisce about the good ol’ days of actually printing photos!”
