Relearning Film Photography After A Two Year Break

Hey everyone! It's been a while, but I'm back with a new film photography video! 🎞️ Wow, it feels like forever since I last hit record, and I’ve missed this—missed you! Life got busy, and somewhere along the way, my camera started gathering dust. But here I am, shaking off the cobwebs and jumping back into the world of film photography. In this episode, I’m on a mission to relearn how to see compositions again. It’s funny—there was a time when every scene just clicked for me. The light, the angles, the perfect frame—it all felt second nature. But now, after a break, I feel like I’m rediscovering the basics. It’s both exciting and a little daunting. I’m sure some of you have been there too—whether it’s photography or another passion, stepping away and then coming back can be a journey. Have you ever taken a break from something you love and found it a bit tricky to get back into the groove? I’d love to hear your stories! Let’s reconnect over our shared love for photography. Drop a comment below about your experiences—whether you’re learning photography for the first time, or like me, getting back into it after some time away.
