If there's a photographer who knows a thing or two about traveling through airports with film, it's Miles Myerscough-Harris of Expired Film Club.
When Kodak re-released Kodacolor in 100 and 200 ISO variations a few months ago (which is probably just Kodak Color Plus in a new box), the film community got very excited. Now that dust has settled and I am not hearing a lot about the film much these days, but that should change. This film rocks.
Photographer Peter Turnley arrived in Paris in 1975 aged 20. Since then he has thrown himself into the City of Light, documenting its comings and goings on his trusty Leicas.

Late in 2021, Jack Smith opened the first of two carefully wrapped boxes filled with old photographic slides that had been sitting in his parents' garage for his entire life. What he found was astonishing: his grandfather’s archive of 80,000 images taken across decades and 40 countries.

It’s easy to imagine that anxiety over manipulated images began with Photoshop or AI, but photographers have been wrestling with the problem almost since the birth of the medium. More than a century ago (113 years back to be exact), the U.S. faced a scandal over doctored images of the president, and the outrage nearly led to a national ban on fake photos.
The Stringer: The Man Who Took the Photo, which lands on Netflix this week, opens with a line implying Nick Ut is a liar: "What you do know is what you didn’t take." But is that really true? I've always thought the inverse makes more sense.
Alfred Buckham was an aerial photographer who took to the skies at a time when pilots' lives were measured in weeks, not years. But he was also a master manipulator in the darkroom and paved the way for Adobe Photoshop and today's AI photo apps.
The Kodak Snapic A1 is a new $99 point-and-shoot film camera from Reto, the company that released the incredibly popular blind box Charmera camera earlier this year.

"The older I get, the closer I get," says street photographer Bruce Gilden. Now in his seventies, Gilden's latest book examines photographs he made in the U.K. across the 1970s and 2000s -- when he was very, very close to his subjects.

Mint has announced a new Rollei 35AF filter kit that successfully addresses one of the last remaining complaints from the original run of the brand-new camera from last year.

Photographer Nick LoPresti loves film. As his YouTube channel shows, his adoration for the medium often manifests in "silly" videos centered on wild, ambitious projects.

LoPresti, perhaps against his better judgment, shot on 82-year-old film.

When Kodak quietly and surprisingly announced Kodacolor 100 and 200 at the end of September, analog photographers were rightly excited. However, the most interesting part of the announcement was perhaps not the new film at all, but the dramatic shift in how Kodak is selling film. This change is continuing, as Eastman Kodak is now selling Kodak Gold 200 and Ultramax 400 directly to retailers, with new, retro-inspired packaging in tow.
Looking at paintings of historical figures, it can be difficult to know whether that's what they really looked like, or whether the painter was being interpretive -- perhaps pressured by the subject.
On my recent trip to French Polynesia, I decided to do something new that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time: I brought along the Nikonos V, Nikon’s legendary amphibious 35mm camera from the 1980s. That meant no live preview, no autofocus, and no confirmation that anything I was shooting would actually turn out; just 36 frames of film, a light meter, and the quiet peace that comes with freediving and taking photos.
