Why only film photography?

With film photography, the process of taking a picture becomes more deliberate and thoughtful, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the moment and the experience.

Waiting time is part of the surprise: With analog photography, the waiting time for the film to be developed is part of the anticipation and surprise. This adds to the unique experience that our service offers.

Secure exchange: Sending and receiving physical film ensures that no one can view the contents of the photos except for the two photographers, guaranteeing true anonymity. Digital photos can be easily shared and viewed by others without permission, compromising the privacy of our customers.
