I recently started a new project called VonVintage. Put simply, it stands for Vintage on Vintage, which is exactly how I intend to shoot it: Vintage content, shot on a Vintage camera. Through it’s use in preservation and storytelling, photography can be a powerful tool. Coupled with an artistic approach, I hope the project can help bring back some value to beautiful vintage design and the keepsakes of the past.
Thanks to the generosity of friends and strangers, I now have 7 vintage cameras which I’m running film through. If you know anyone that collects film cameras, or would like me to put a roll of film through an old camera you have, please get in touch!
