Working with expired film

Expired film will give interesting results including: more grain, less contrast, less light sensitivity and even color changes.

Some film might be stored in a fridge and some might not, so shooting expired film is always a chance of luck. That is also the reason we don’t give any guaranties on expired film. Because expired film loses light sensitivity, pictures will always come out darker. To prevent that you will need to overexposure your image a bit. To fully understand shooting with expired film we recommend this guide.

Not all films come with their complete original packaging, as they have been lost or deteriorated. All films do come with a plastic canister to keep them safe and waterproof.
