About Films of April

Films of April is an independent film photography practice and ongoing portrait archive, built around careful observation, strange light, and a slow approach to making images.

The work focuses on medium format and 35mm film, favouring natural gestures over heavy retouching, and treating each commission as part of a longer, evolving body of work.
