Photos of Asia: Jonah Liao's Online Film Dump
11 Share TweetWe all have film photos we have stashed away somewhere. Filipina film enthusiast Jonah Liao "dumps" her analog photos taken all around Asia through her instagram account herfilmdump.
We had a quick chat with her about analog passions and documenting adventures.
Hello Jonah! Could you please introduce yourself to the Lomography community?
I'm Jonah Liao, a twenty-year-old student from Manila, Philippines. I got into film photography because of a blogger named Zoe Suen - I look up to her and aspire to be like her, which is why when I found out that she takes photos using a film camera, I decided to try it out as well. Besides this, I also really grew fond of how film adds a certain filter or feeling (I don't know the word for it) to a photo. It makes photos look nostalgic, and I love having that effect.
I use film photography both as a means for me to reminisce on memories as well as to express myself. I believe that through my photos, people are able to see a glimpse of who I am. Personally, I don't label myself as a photographer, because I really just look at myself as a girl taking photos of things she likes using a film camera.
Can you share with us your favorite photos so far?
Sure! I've attached herewith some photos I've taken in the last 2 years using my very handy Olympus MJU Zoom 105 Deluxe. In addition, I am writing below this descriptions of the shots and why I consider them my favorites!
