Film & digital photos

How do I know which one is for me?

Film photos

Pros

  • Classic look & feel, reminiscent of family photos as you remember them

  • Tone & colour that feels more true to life as you see it

  • Softer features & more flattering reproduction of skin tones, pictures have a warm pop that feels very natural

Cons

  • Lower resolution than digital — you might not be able to crop the photo as much and still pick out details

  • Longer turn around time for delivery; film must be developed & processed, which takes some time

Digital photos

Pros

  • Greater flexibility for editing the look & feel you desire after the fact

  • Incredibly high detail & resolution, this means you have the freedom to crop, resize, & print as big as you like

  • Quicker turn around for completed images — photos are ready for us to edit as soon as they're taken

Cons

  • Can sometimes feel less authentic than film

  • No negatives to save for future. These are like physical backups of photos & can be rescanned forever
