Not everything belongs on a screen
What is GRAIN & PAPER
I created Grain & Paper because film photography deserves to be experienced in print. After starting Film Reasons as a home for my photographic work, I realised that a screen could not provide the same physical, considered experience as holding a photograph in your hands. Grain & Paper gives each image a place to live beyond the camera roll: as a printed story, a moving image, and a prompt to notice the world differently.
What is included
One A5 film photograph printed as a physical piece to keep.
A personal field note sharing the story behind the image.
Exclusive access to a short behind-the-scenes and interview-style film.
One observational challenge inviting you to notice or photograph something in your own surroundings.

About the creator
I am an Art film photographer based in London, building Grain & Paper as a physical extension of my photographic practice. Through Film Reasons and this project, I am exploring how film photography can live beyond the camera roll and become something to hold, revisit, and share.
