Storyteller Celeste Jacobs On Expressing Idealism Through Film Photography & Calm Compositions

Cape Town-based writer and film photographer Celeste Jacobs sat
down with us in conversation about the medium of analogue
image-making as a mediation, and an expression of the state of
one's inner world. In a meeting of like minds and kindred souls,
our host, Jess, and Celeste discuss what drew them to film
photography, their favourite film stocks for beginners, and what
compositional elements produce a calm image. This episode is a
must-listen for all those interested in exploring analogue
photography looking for the next steps to dive into the
medium.
