🖤 Film vs Digital – A Different Kind of Intimacy 🖤

For this shoot I decided to compare two worlds:
🎞️ Nikon FM2 + PAN 400 film
📸 Nikon D750 (Digital)

What you’re seeing here is the same session, captured on both mediums. The grain, tones and softness of PAN 400 create a completely different mood than the crispness of digital. There’s no retouching, no filters — just the raw outcome of each camera.

This project started from a simple idea: to document a private, unposed moment and see how film and digital translate it. The result surprised me. Film gave me something unique and one-of-a-kind, while digital gave me clarity and detail. Together they tell a story that feels honest and timeless.

I’m learning that film slows me down and forces me to think about every frame, while digital lets me experiment instantly. Both are teaching me new ways of seeing.

Which look speaks to you more — the grainy feel of film or the crispness of digital?
