Cape Town-based writer and film photographer Celeste Jacobs sat down with us in conversation about the medium of analogue image-making as a mediation, and an expression of the state of one's inner world. In a meeting of like minds and kindred souls, our host, Jess, and Celeste discuss what drew them to film photography, their favourite film stocks for beginners, and what compositional elements produce a calm image. This episode is a must-listen for all those interested in exploring analogue photography looking for the next steps to dive into the medium.
