film soup with lomography

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Lomography USA for a feature on film soup! I’ve been shooting lomo film since high school and in the early days of the internet Lomography’s blog was the go-to for finding tips and tricks from other film shooters. In short, they rule. We talked about why I prefer film, my process for soaking film, and how experimenting with film soup helped me deal with all the uncertainties of quarantine. 

They sent me three rolls of film and I spent a few weeks shooting landscapes and self-portraits in and around Arcata, California on the northern coast. Check out the interview here.
