I exposed my first ever roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 at the Iverk Show in Piltown, Co. Kilkenny on 26th August 2017. It took almost two months before I could see the results. I must say that I am really pleased.
I don't really want to be a part of film vs. digital discussion. I will continue shooting digital but every so often I will expose a roll of Tri-X or Portra when I feel like doing so.
Some of the reasons why I've decided to try shooting film.
- Nostalgia - I wanted to take photographs as a kid, but I could rarely afford buying and developing the film. Nowadays I can 'waste' money the way I want to :-)
- A need of slowing down and thinking more before pressing the shutter.
- Sometimes it is fun to do something without an instant gratification.
- Somehow it feels different. It helps me getting closer and more personal to the people I photograph.

Holy Week processions in Andalusian city of Malaga have history of over 500 years. Processions of amazingly decorated thrones, the “Nazarenos” wearing conic hoods, and brass bands walk through the streets of the old city centre. For some people, it is a religious experience but for most, especially for thousands of tourists, it's just a spectacular show. You can see Jesus Christ next to the Spider-Man, and Virgin Mary next to the Mickey Mouse.
I documented Malaga's Semana Santa in 2014 and 2015 trying to capture it’s slightly surreal mood.
