Behind the Negatives

Shooting film is only half the story. In this section, I share how I develop, scan, and work with film at home—mistakes, chemicals, gear, and all. The process is meditative, messy, and deeply personal. Developing at home gave me a new appreciation for the craft. If you’re thinking of trying it, start small, embrace the mess, and enjoy the slowness.

Why I Started Developing at Home

Living in a small town where film labs are virtually non-existent, shooting analog became a logistical challenge. Mailing rolls away for development was slow, expensive, and often unreliable. Out of necessity—and a desire to stay connected to the medium—I taught myself how to develop film at home. What began as a workaround quickly became something deeper: a hands-on ritual that made each frame feel more personal and earned. From mixing chemicals to hanging the negatives to dry in my kitchen, the process taught me patience
