Film photography has a certain quality that cannot be replicated in digital photography, and there’s something about black and white that transmits an old-world charm and timelessness to the picture. The contrast between the dark shadows and bright highlights creates a sense of depth and texture. The brick wall in the background adds to the old-world charm, giving the impression that the cat has been captured in a moment from the past. Its gaze is intense, and it looks as if it is staring straight into our souls. Its body language is relaxed, and it sits with an air of confidence, making it seem almost regal; his face imposing. I examined the fence and realized I could try to frame the shape of its head to match the geometric pattern of the metallic barrier between us. Hence this shot right here.

Shooting film feels nostalgic honestly, but also gives us a deliberate and intentional process. You are limited to working with your technical know-how, but it compels you to be critical hence making the entire process rewarding and fun.
