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 unique perspective.
Photography has always been my passion—mainly because it allows me to capture extraordinary moments, while staying true to myself and not needing to worry about being presentable.
Watching the photos develop in the darkroom was like waiting for a surprise party—only instead of confetti, or a blurry image, or a thumb covering the lens. I’ve learnt from many mistakes and continue to learn. That’s the fascination a film camera holds for me.
In a world where photos are easier to take than ever, we often overlook the value of a great vintage film photo. I hope this website becomes a sanctuary for fellow photo enthusiasts. Let’s gather away from the digital chaos and reminisce about the good old days of actually printing photos. Check out Projects to view my current work.
