Analog photography (also known as film or film photography) is a method that uses photosensitive film to capture and develop images. It also involves chemical processes. This method exposes the photosensitive film by allowing light to enter through the lens of the camera.
The latent image is revealed by a series chemical baths. The result of this process is a physical slide or negative that can be further processed into prints or digitized by scanning. Analog photography has a timeless aesthetic that is characterized by grain, color rendering, and timeless appeal. It attracts artists and enthusiasts who enjoy the tactile experience it offers and the artistic possibilities.
