There’s something I love about both worlds. With digital, I get control. I can fine-tune everything until the image feels just right. With analog, there’s this beautiful unpredictability, but also the constant pressure of limited chances. Every press of the shutter costs money. It’s like walking a tightrope between freedom and risk.

A film side by side

Shooting with the Hasselblad XPan feels more like composing a scene than just taking a photo. You only get 21 shots, and every one feels like a little gamble. No preview. No second chances.

Everyone’s chasing megapixels, 8K reels, and autofocus that can track a mosquito’s heartbeat. Meanwhile, I’m manually winding film and hoping I didn’t mess up the loading. There’s something beautiful and slightly ridiculous about that.

That camera slips into my pocket, disappears in my hand, and lets me focus on what really matters.
The moment.

There’s something different about photographing at night. It’s hard to describe, but once it grabs you, it doesn’t let go.
