Where We Started
Shoot It With Film started with a simple love for film photography. I’m Kathleen, and I’m the person behind Shoot It With Film. Like many of you, film photography gave me a way to speak to the world, and it quickly became something between a passion and an obsession. So Shoot It With Film was born. It was created to give photographers the resources I wished I had when I first started shooting and what I look for now as a more experienced shooter. It’s a place to learn about the world of film, how to shoot film, and be inspired by film photography.
