-Brian Wright, co-creator of CineStill Film, on the relevance of analog media in the world today
Near the end of last year, we had the opportunity to take five minutes to discuss what CineStill is currently doing and the future of analog photography across the world. The result was a great article that you can find in the latest issue of Amateur Photographer. Hope you enjoy the read!

Digital is now the default technology for most amateur photographers and pros, so it’s easy to forget that there are people out there still making innovative photographic film. Brandon and Brian Wright are great examples. The Hollywood- based twins have developed CineStill 800T – a stock that claims to be the only high-speed (ISO 800) colour film currently made that is compatible with incandescent/ tungsten light.
‘This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for photographers,’ says Brandon. ‘You can shoot with the film cameras you love in limited available light, or in the studio with continuous hot lights, similar to those used on the set of a movie.’
Brandon and his brother started delving into photography about 15 years ago, after they found their dad’s Olympus OM-1. ‘We asked him a few questions, and kind of figured it out ourselves from there,’ adds Brandon. ‘We started shooting photos of each other skateboarding, trying to reverse-engineer the creative photography skateboarding magazines, by hacking together our own lighting.
‘We have collaborated together our whole lives, and that transitioned into photography as well. Our main interest is photographing people. We have also shot many weddings on film, mostly stills but some Super 8 and 16mm video. That’s what got us interested in using cinema films to do colour film photography in low light.’
