5½ Reasons To Shoot Half-Frame September 6th is Worldwide Half-Frame Day! If you're curious about Half-Frame, we've got 5 (and a half) reasons to give it a try! | | #1 Diptychs Thinking about your frames as doubles is a fun way to create in-camera diptychs. A lot of labs scan half-frame rolls in doubles, so you’ll get fun matches back! | | | | #2 Grainy Film Look The smaller frame size increases grain in your scan, enhaning the nostalgic analog aesthetic everyone is looking for in our digital age.
| #3 Cost Savings Shooting with a half-frame camera literally cuts your expenses in half. Or... it doubles the amount of film you can shoot for the same amount of money. whichever way you want to look at it, at the end of the day - savings! | | | | #4 Half Frame = Double Fun
Cutting your frame in half, means double the opportunities! Getting 72 frames out of a roll can encourage you to overthink less with your photos. Meaning you can shoot first and ask questions later!
| #5 Change Your Perspective
Traditional cameras train us to think in horizontal frames as the default. Challenging your brain to default to vertical gets your creativity going. Its important to change your perspective from time to time! | | | | #5 1/2 Share Your Work
Leading us to 5 1/2: If you are primarily sharing your photos online, the vertical framing is perfect for social media!
