Christian Lombardi
Film Photography Geek
Christian Lombardi is a London based photographer, filmmaker and long term film addict who has built his entire creative practice around analogue images in a very digital world. Over the past five years he has worked closely with Vintage Camera Hut, testing and shooting an ever changing lineup of film cameras and putting hundreds of rolls through them on trips across Japan, India, the US, Southeast Asia and Europe.
He started out as a complete beginner who barely knew how to load a roll, and slowly turned that curiosity into a fully functioning home film lab, where he now develops C-41, ECN-2 and black and white, scans his own work and experiments with different stocks, processes and looks. That hands on approach gives him a full view of the image, from pressing the shutter to the final scan.
Alongside this, Christian runs creative work through his agency Oui Are Social, producing travel and documentary driven content for brands and tourism boards, and sharing his process and love for film with a growing online community. His work sits at the intersection of memory, place and craft, which is exactly where his talk “Why We Still Shoot Film: Memory, Meaning & the Future of Photography” begins.
