I started 2025 never having shot film. I ended it running my own lab. Here's what the data looks like for 2025.
I counted an average of 37 shots per roll, that’s how I calculated the 1500+ frames. Sometimes it’s more, sometimes less, due to blanks.
While I have no desire to shoot or process film any longer, I am in huge admiration of anyone who does.
I appreciate you keeping up the craftsmanship!
Thanks Chris! It’s a draft that takes lots of work indeed. When I shoot professionally, it’s most digital!
My journey with film but also photography started at the start of 2025!! Love how film photography is growing
Love to learn that! Happy Hollidays :)
It’s fantastic to see the passion you put into everything you do.
Hope to jump into film photography sometime in the future with your precious guidance.
Why don’t you develop film for other photographers? 🙂
I actually do! :)
Great stats!
I shot plenty of film this year (nothing like 151 rolls) and despite having a huge stack of negatives to file, I really have no idea which emulsion got the most camera time, but I'll guess Kodak Gold 200, Tri-X and Ilford HP5. But I'm guessing.
