cameras

• Canon A-1 35mm film camera - I use this as my main camera for significant shoots. The Canon A-1 produces high quality shots while remaining very easy to use, plus you can find them for less than $200 on eBay

• Olympus Trip 35 - this little camera is considered one of the best in the vintage point and shoot category. It is solar powered, has adjustable focusing ranges, and is perfect for throwing in your bag while traveling 

Film

• Fujifilm Superia X-TRA ISO 400 35mm Color Film - this is my pick for inexpensive learning film. It still has a beautiful aesthetic, especially when shot in full day light

• Fuji 400h 35mm color film - this film has a bright and airy aesthetic with pops in blue + green hues. Check out this blog post by The FIND Lab that details how to get the most out of this film

• ILFORD HP5 - my favorite bw film stock! Ilford HP5 is known for having a  soft aesthetic with low contrast + high grain

Processing + Inspo

• The FIND Lab - this is my go-to resource for EVERYTHING film. They process (take the film from rolls to photos), print, and sell film. I frequently utilize their informative blog posts for understanding the complicated nuances of film
