35mm, Zine

“35mm Japan” Film Photography Zine

It’s been 3 years but I’m back with a new film photography zine!

“35mm Japan” features over 40 images from my 18 day trip to Japan in March and April 2023.

Photos were taken on a variety of colour negative films on three 35mm point and shoot cameras: Contax T3, Minolta TC-1, and the Fujifilm Natura Black F1.9. The image of the swan boats in Tokyo has made the cover!

Zine details

  • Full colour perfect bound book.
  • 40 pages of colour film photography on uncoated 150gsm paper.
  • Colour cover printed on 300gsm silk paper with a smooth soft-touch laminate finish.
  • Introduction about the zine.
  • Descriptions under each photo.
  • Full details of cameras and film stocks used.
  • First 40 orders will receive the new Matt Loves Cameras point and shoot sticker!

Zine layout

One photo per page with a description under each. The examples below show 2 page spreads.

New point and shoot sticker with every order!

Out with the Polaroid Matt Loves Cameras logo, in with the point and shoot! The first 40 orders of the zine will receive this limited edition MLC sticker. Orders after that will receive either design depending on stocks.

2 x Jozankei Shrine postcard with every order

Each order will also receive 2 x Jozankei Shrine postcards printed on 350gsm paper with a smooth soft-laminate finish. One for you to keep, and one to give – or post – to a friend!
