Film Photography Is Not Better Than Digital

Film photography is not better than digital, yet It's a comment often posted on social media. In this video, I explore why the claim “film is better” misses the mark and why it’s more about appreciating the differences between film and digital photography. Having shot film for 25 years, I deeply respect its charm and craftsmanship. But does it outshine digital? We’ll dive into the costs, workflow, dynamic range, color science, and where film truly excels—such as teaching patience and valuing every frame. While film has its unique beauty, it’s not inherently “better.” This isn’t about dismissing film but celebrating what both mediums offer. Instead of justifying your choice with myths, let your images speak for themselves. Let’s foster respect for every photographer’s creative journey. Enjoy the discussion?
