Jamie Gamboa

This set is by Jamie Gamboa (Foxes and Hounds on Flickr)

Jamie says she doesn't really have a particular technique, she just enjoys taking pictures of subjects she finds to be photogenic and interesting. She has a collection of film cameras but only some are in use like her Kodak Pony 135 (which took the 2nd photo in this set) that she inherited from her grandmother, a Diana F+, and the occasional disposable camera (which took the 3rd photo).

Jamie says that since purchasing her first DSLR (a Nikon D3100) as a present for graduating middle school, she has been prioritising taking digital photographs and portraits. She uses the magic of photoshop to edit them to have the nostalgic, sentimental vibe that film photos provide.
 There is also a very delicate quality to Jamie's photographs, which we love.

Laura Gordon

This set is by Laura Gordon (laurasaurasrexx on Flickr)

These photos were all part of Laura's first double exposure experiment on a wide-angle 35mm film camera, and she says the good ones are pure luck. Just the sort of photography we love - experimental with great results!

Hanne Dale

This set is by Hanne Dale (fjert on Flickr)

The first three are of bridges in Iida-shi in Nagano prefecture, Japan, taken with a matchbox pinhole camera and a roll of Fuji Pro 160C. Hanne says she's been enjoying playing around with simple pinholes a lot this past year – that and long exposures.



The next one is a solargraph exposed for 4 1/2 months in a black plastic canister for 35 mm film, on Ilford Multigrade IV paper. 

The final one was taken with Hanne's half-frame Olympus PEN EE.S, which she finds fun to use from time to time.

Hanne also has some really beautiful photos she has taken with experimental disposable cameras, which you can see here and here on her Flickr.

Joanna Warren

This set is by Joanna Warren (Lux N0va on Flickr)

Joanna took these photos using regular film then boiled it with either baking soda or turmeric and lemon juice. What an amazing effect it has created! We love how it distorts the real image but that you can still see hints of it underneath, which makes for a really interesting photograph.

Karly Brecher

This set is by Karly Brecher (karlyrebecca on Flickr)

Karly shoots with a Canon AE-1 Program. She uses whatever film she can get her hands on, which is usually the cheapest. She took two years of black and white film photography classes at her high school and continued on her own afterwards. Karly says she doesn't consider herself a photographer at all, she just likes taking pictures! 

Karly started screwing around with film when her friend Maya dipped her film in water to mess with the colors. Most of the photos featured here were pre-soaked in bleach, salt and she reckons probably some other random stuff she found in her kitchen! 

A big fan of "happy accidents", Karly says she wasn't bothered when the photo lab messed up the framing of her shots. We think it adds perfectly to the images, especially with the brilliant pinks and reds.

Mallory Shriver

This set is by Mallory Shriver (malloryshriv on Flickr)

Mallory shot these photos using an old Minolta X-370 that she got from her mother.  She chose to capture the land near her house and destroy the photos to symbolize how we are destroying nature not just in her tiny rural town, but across the globe.

She then soaked it in a cup of bleach for one minute before taking it in for developing. Mallory says she loves destroying film for the meaning behind it and the sheer excitement of not knowing if or how the photographs will turn out.

We think she has achieved amazing results. We love the colours!

Silvia Fontanesi

Beautiful set here by Silvia Fontanesi (LaiviSilvia on Flickr)

This is a really eclectic mix of photographs, but we love them all! Really stunning work.

Silvia shoots with a La Sardina camera as she loves the wide angle, strong vignette and opportunity to take multiple exposures. Her favourite subjects are landscapes as she believes the feelings a landscape can express are inimitable. However she also likes to shoot flowers and buildings.

Silvia hopes that someone looking at her photographs will understand the magic of the moment when she shot it.

The intense colours and composition of Mel's work are simply amazing. We're in love with her work.

Callie Preston

Callie's work with multiple exposures and light leaks is amazing, and she's captured bokeh so well (something we're envious of!)

Michi

Today's photographer is Michi (we are star dust on Flickr)

Michi has some wonderful work featuring light and light leaks. Lovely touches.
