Film Photo Diary: Paris
A few images from a trip to the City of Light
For this week’s Substack I really just wanted to share something simple — sometimes the things I want to write about come flowing out of me, but because I am new to this whole writing thing, a lot of the time I feel stuck on exactly how to get what’s in my head on ‘paper’. I have a few topics I want to write about, but just haven’t found the words to fill a page quite yet. So, because this is a place centered around photography (business, travel, freelance life etc.), I figured I’d share about it in it’s most basic form and let the images speak for themselves.
Here is one of the most beautiful cities to capture on film — Paris. All of these images were captured with my Nikon F3 + 50mm lens on Portra 400.
As always, thank you so much for reading along and I would love to know your thoughts or questions!

While I absolutely love the charming and romantic aspects of solo travel, like wandering beautiful streets in a foreign country, sipping coffee at cute cafes for hours, and chatting with stranger…
City Guide: ROME
Rome has become a second home to me — I started learning Italian during the pandemic + have been at least once a year since 2021. My connection to this beautiful city is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I have learned so much about myself while being there, made deep connections + friendships, experienced heartbreak + redemption, and have eaten so…
I love how the pictures look kind of oldy-worldy :)
Such beautiful shots! Film gives such a character to even the most simple photo.
