Hey I’m Sarah (@film_flook) and I’m based right on the edge of the Highlands in Scotland.

I’ve been shooting film again for about 6 years and have a big collection of cameras. I studied photography in college in the late 90’s with film and enjoyed developing and learning but then had a break until 6 years ago. I use a mix of family cameras passed down and ones I’ve bought on eBay or car boot sales.

I enjoy experimenting with different film stock and cameras but my main subject tends to be the landscape around me. Just the breathtaking beauty of Scotland. I’ve also used film these last 6 years to help me process grief. The nostalgic images and calm patience required has been what I didn’t know I needed.

We were so lucky in lockdown to be surrounded by mountains and forests but even then I felt stuck in a rut with my photos. Perhaps everyone has felt like this? The KONO Rotwild no2 firmly pulled me out of that rut by absolutely blowing my mind with the results of a wonderful redscale film. Everything took on a slightly different meaning.

I’m so up for trying other KONO films this year and I love the mystery of the results.
