It all started with my passion for mechanical watches, which is a weird twist to most… Before I got into photography, I was an avid watch collector. I was mostly interested in vintage watches from renowned brands such as Rolex, Omega, Zenith and Enicar.
A few years later I started with photography as a hobby, immediately I bought myself a Fujifilm camera as it was the most mechanical experience with all the knobs and buttons. I didn’t take long before I discovered a YouTube channel called Radical Eye Magazine, where they shot on film with old cameras.
As I’ve always been fascinated with vintage items, I went looking for an older camera… It started with a Olympus Mju, quickly followed by a Minolta X700 and a few weeks later I bought my first medium format camera. You could say I got a severe a case of gear acquisition sydrome.
Whilst I don’t by that many cameras anymore, I’m discovering film photography, all kinds of film and the processing of film. Shoot Analog Photos is my way to take you along on this adventure and maybe inspire you to shoot film!
