There is a plethora of digital-camera how-to books on the market, but none that approach film cameras with the humor and knowledge that Kai Wong brings to his very popular, in-the-know YouTube channel. This same sensibility is translated into his first book, which taps into the current film-photography revival driven by young enthusiasts worldwide. Kodak and other film manufacturers are bringing back discontinued films, including Kodak’s beloved Ektachrome slide film, re-released in 2019.
Old School Photography is a how-to manual for taking photographs with 35-millimeter and medium-format film cameras. Through writing, diagrams, and photographic examples, author Kai Wong explains all you need to know about owning and using the best film cameras available in the world.
