tips on shooting film overseas 📸

shooting film may be daunting for some. especially when venturing into something slightly more than the usual casual photography. here are some tips for trying to capture the beauty of a foreign land!

TIP 1: do some research for the type of camera you are bringing

-> if you are totally new to film, consider the factors of weight of the camera, working flash (for point & shoot camera) and light meter. for traveling about, having a lightweight camera is the most crucial in my opinion.

TIP 2: type of film rolls

-> iso 200 and 400 rolls are the most versatile for capturing shots in both daylight and night time

TIP 3: airport xrays usually doesn’t ruin your film

-> if you’re paranoid you can put them in a clear ziplog and request for the ziplog to be hand checked by the staff

TIP 4: look for inspiration or create a moodboard

-> search up inspo on pinterest or instagram and save your favs! look at how your fav photos are framed and angled and try to incorporate a couple into your shots. it may give you inspo on what to capture as well

TIP 5: if you’re unsure about how your photo will turn out, take a couple of test shots using your phone!
