Film Collective's FAQ

What is Film Collective about?
Film Collective is a brand new DA group that emphasis the unlimited possibilities within the world of film photography. Here we will share film photography in all angles, technical changes, and point of view. Film Collective is always a great place to gather information from other members about film and the uses of cameras. Most importantly, Film Collective is not a showcase, it's a learning group. To learn with one another is a great way to see first hand experience of other photographer’s progress and achievements.
