Móni Vilà getting intimate with film
"A small but strong warrior." Tell us about yourself. I’m 29, I was born and “grew up” in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. When someone asks about what I do for a living, I’d like to answer pointing to what makes me live or the things I can't live without: Reading, watching movies, drinking coffee, obviously taking photographs, but also thinking about photography, writing about photography and dreaming about photography. *Nikon F4S - Ilford HP5 400* When and how did the film jou
Live Music & Live Photos
Beside photography, my other passion in life has always been music. I also ended up spending quite a few years of my early life playing in a few bands in Italy, mainly on a strict Fender Stratocaster/Marshall diet. But that's another story, so let's move on. So, in terms of music, what better city than London to go out and watch a concert almost every night? Actually, that was not the reason I moved there, but it did help a bit.

Why I am Reverting to Analog for my Professional Work.
Okay, let's just start by saying it is not easy let me tell you. But I do find it necessary. To me, to my art, to my clients. Mostly me though.

And, in my modest opinion, there is no better way than to express such feelings by photographing that moment. In analog, that is. It's always been like this.

Chemicals smell and film photography, by Matteo Prezioso
"I love the intimacy of film, and its visual honesty." Tell us about yourself. I was born in 1968. I am a professional photographer. Italian by birth, I've left my country around 20 years ago. First in the US (Los Angeles) where I studied photography, and started working in portraiture/stills set photography. I then moved to London, where I lived for 11 years; here I began working in moda, fashion, editorial, and books for actors. Camera: Nikon F4s Lens: Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 AF-D Film: Mi
