Do you offer any tips for capturing great photos on film?

Absolutely! Film photography is all about embracing imperfection and spontaneity. Here are some tips to get the best results from your film camera: Always use the built-in flash to illuminate your subject and capture sharp images, especially in low-light conditions. Opt for high-resolution developing and scanning at your local film lab to ensure your photos look their best. Keep your film rolls away from direct sunlight and avoid opening your camera if there’s still unshot film inside, as light exposure can damage your photos. If you're part of our Surfolk community, you’ll also receive exclusive photo tips and creative inspiration to elevate your film skills!

Introducing The Nigel®, our limited edition vintage film camera, created in collaboration with our mates Kendall & Glenn. Inspired by their vintage land rover, Nigel® is our latest film camera, wrapped in Bahama Gold - an original heritage colour.

Nigel® is an ode to the classics and an invitation to slow down and return to a simpler time. We hope Nigel® helps you to slow down, capture the small moments and brings a little nostalgia to the everyday moments.

Built for coastal exploring, road trips and long summer days. If you love collecting timeless memories on film, or you're new to it - this one is for you. Nigel® is your golden ticket to relive the good ol' days and discover the grainy magic and bright, earthy tones that digital cameras just can't replicate.

Why Shoot Film?

Slow Down, Live in the moment

Shooting with film encourages you to slow down and be intentional with each shot. It brings a sense of focus and presence, helping you savour the moment instead of mindlessly snapping away.

Take A Digital Detox

Improves sleep quality by minimizing blue light exposure, which can interfere with circadian rhythms.

Vintage & Nostalgic Vibes

The unique grain, tones, and textures of 35mm film evoke a raw, nostalgic feel that’s difficult to replicate with digital. It adds character and authenticity to your photos.

Relive Memories Again & Again

Reusable film cameras allow you to shoot again and again, without the waste of disposable cameras or endless digital files. Each roll of film offers a chance to relive your memories, as you capture new moments.
