Shooting Film in a Digital World: A Conversation with Autumn Jordan

Hi everyone! Today I had the honor of chatting with the incredibly talented Autumn Jordan—a New York and Vermont-based film and Super8 photographer with over 15 years of experience. Autumn shares her creative journey, from long hours in the college darkroom to becoming a sought-after wedding photographer known for her emotionally rich, film-first approach. We dive deep into the art and technical side of film photography—discussing hybrid workflows, the importance of building strong relationships with pro labs, and her favorite film cameras (including some dream gear).
