1. PHOTOGRAPHYby Kampbole Campbell
I’m a 3rd year Film and Literature student, but I haven’t been into photography for that long, I’ve been
shooting for about a year now! I kinda got into this whole thing through my girlfriend who’s been doing it
for God knows how long now, and so at some point last winter I asked my dad if I could have his old Nikon
35mm film camera, which he rightly called “bulletproof”.
It’s been great to experiment with film and learn how great a medium for photography it still is. I started
shooting random pictures around where I live and around London in December, and around Warwick in
January and it became an obsession from that point – I researched everything I could about film cameras
and different kinds of film, and shot as much as I possibly could over the next few months. I think I only
started being happy with what I actually took around that Easter!
Eventually I also started developing my own film (with a lot of help) and that’s been even better – there
seriously isn’t many things more satisfying then see a roll of film you’ve developed come out great.
