Shooting Film While Learning Abroad in Cuba

WHY FILM?

Last summer I took an introductory course in Dark Room Photography. I shot three rolls with a plastic Holga Camera (like the kind you see at Urban Outfitters). The finished photos from the class don’t look great, but I became obsessed with mastering the processes. I am always attracted to detail-oriented work. Since film is an expensive medium I try to use it with intention during special occasions. A trip to Havana is definitely worthy.

MY CAMERA & MY FILM

My camera is a Fujica ST701, which is quite an improvement over the Holga.

I brought three rolls of film to Havana and hoped to use at least two—which I did! For those of you counting that is 72 exposures.

The first roll I shot was Fuji Film PRO 400H. This was my first time shooting color on this camera and I thought Havana would have lots of beautiful opportunities to try it out.

The second roll I shot was black and white, Ilford Professional Delta 400. By the time I put this roll in I was excited about it. I feel much more comfortable with black and white film. Since I have processed black and white film and used it more often, I know I will get some good photos.

ADVICE

The advice I got before leaving was simple but important for any photographer. I’ll repeat here:

A photographer changes her angle. Don’t always take photos from the obvious point of view, crouch or stand on a chair. Experiment. Here’s a photo where I took holding my camera up in the air (it might also be double exposed) that I think turned out different than I expected but beautiful.

Make sure your subject fills the photographic space. Don’t center your subject, especially with portraits. Here’s an example of a portrait I really liked.

This may seem obvious but do not to take photos in the dark. And by the dark I mean, when your subject is not well-lit. Okay, here’s a photo I took that did not turn out very well because I took it in the dark. When you take a film photo in the dark you have to lengthen the exposure time which means... you will probably move slightly while the film is exposing.

Not all photos will be good photos. Out of my 72 photos, 38 of them turned out really well. Here’s a photo I was really excited about, these musicians were so great and beautiful but I didn’t do a good job photographing them. Dang it!

Photos can be cropped, rotated and edited. Here’s an example, depending on how I’m feeling about this photo, it might need some rotating...

Most of all, I’m glad that I have some photos I really like that I can print and show to friends and family. Film photography is a very active process from set up to final print, which has given these photos a special significance in my memory, I will always remember these moments in Havana because I made the effort to record them on film.
