How I transformed the slow, often tedious process of film scanning into an efficient and enjoyable workflow. Inspired by Henry Ford’s principles of industrial efficiency, I optimized my scanning setup using batch processing, automation, and a Stream Deck to streamline repetitive tasks. By scanning in batches and editing entire rolls together, I achieve more consistent results while making the process faster and less frustrating.

When Chaos Wins: The Brutal Reality of Film Photography

FotogRAFia Podcast ·

2025/03/01

Summary:After carefully shooting and developing three rolls of film from a special trip to Brazil, I discovered they were completely blank. The culprit? An exhausted developer that failed just before reaching its advertised limit. This loss was devastating—not just because of the images, but because of the effort and meaning behind them.Yet, this is what makes film photography so brutal and so rewarding. Unlike digital, where everything works by default, in film, chaos is the default. Every

The Case for Film Borders: Authenticity or Nostalgia?

FotogRAFia Podcast ·

2025/02/22

Most 35mm film scanners crop out film borders, removing sprocket holes and text markings that prove an image was shot on film. This post explores why film borders matter, from preserving composition integrity (as Henri Cartier-Bresson emphasized) to acting as a certificate of authenticity for analog photography.While some photographers see borders as unnecessary, others value them for their aesthetic appeal and proof of unaltered composition. The post also calls for scanner manufacturers to offer an

When the snowstorm hit, I couldn’t resist the urge to go out and capture it. While others stayed warm indoors, I braved the cold with my CineStill 800T, juggling an umbrella, a manual-focus lens, and the ever-present risk of moisture damaging my camera. My destination?
