I guess there will always be something inescapably ironic about seeing film photographs on a screen.
What’s amazing, though, is how a great film photograph can withstand digitization and still maintain many of its evocative and inimitably analog qualities.
You’ll see many great examples of this on Selfie on Film, an Instagram account taking selfie submissions from photographers, professional and amateur, all over the world.
Selfie on Film is a true treasure trove. Each post comes with information on the camera and film stock used to take the selfie.
Apart from the photos themselves, equally absorbing are the fascinating stories shared by these virtual strangers, about photography, family history, passion, identity, heartbreak, and love.
Check out some of those photos and stories below.
