I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.
Welcome to the captivating world photographic film and the niche of the expired film medium. You might think that expired film has no use, but not so.
The Expired Film Company was borne out of the love of film and a respect for the allure of the analogue. We source premium, expired film that is a valuable tool to any photographer, professional, enthusiast or curious student.
The delicate nature of hand processing film, chemical trays and playing with light is the original and mastered way of creating imagery. It is in this space that authentic photographic film comes to life thriving on the notion that true artistry lies in the imperfections and the serendipitous surprises that film photography provides. Every grain, every light leak, and every hint of vignetting tells a unique story, granting each photograph an undeniable character and soul.
In a time when digital dominance prevails, The Expired Film Company proudly stands as a pillar of the analogue era, offering tools and media to those who wish to capture moments and preserve memories with our range of sourced and limited runs of expired photographic films. Each roll is a work of art, waiting to be lovingly crafted.
