It’s about becoming part of a place, building trust with the people around her, and recognizing the everyday moments that quietly connect our lives. In this week’s podcast, she discusses moving from commercial photography into street portraiture, learning to approach people with confidence and respect, and allowing time and genuine connection to shape her work.

There’s an old adage that gear doesn’t make the picture, it’s the photographer. This is partly true. A super-telephoto prime with a fast aperture will make quick work of busy backgrounds, and the faster focusing systems of high-end full-frame cameras will more easily track a bird’s eye in some of the most challenging lighting conditions.

By now, the film resurgence has eclipsed its charming underdog status to become a full-blown front in what has become an all-out, open revolt against the smartphone and its visual aesthetics. What distinguishes the “film look” from the digital—texture, material imperfections, color magic, and the analog halo of yesteryear—comes at a price tag as resurgent as the medium itself.
Despite the contradiction (or perhaps because of it), the pursuit of the film look in a digital format has become something of a cottage industry, with manufacturers,
