The history of Kodak
In many people's minds, the name Kodak should appear on the mottled signboard of the alleyway printing shop. But Kodak is not only responsible for the production of films and photos. Like Fujifilm, Kodak is also very powerful in the chemical industry. Kodak has even used chemical coating technology in the past to invest heavily in battery manufacturing in recent years. As a result, it is reported that Kodak's film production capacity has been significantly affected.

Preparation before using film scanner
In order to prevent dust and fingerprint contamination, you need to prepare gloves and a blower before using the film scanner to ensure the quality of the scan. When picking up films, choose cotton gloves or food silicone gloves to avoid fingerprints, and the blower can blow away the dust inside the film scanner and on the film before scanning, reducing the workload in post-production. The most important thing is to prepare a formatted memory card so that the photos can be retained in the film scanner.

I have been taking on projects since I was a student. In addition to two-dimensional photography such as product photography, event records, wedding records and food photography, I'm also good at video shoting and editing. Because I love film photography, so I often shoot videos on YouTube and Instagram to share my experiences.
The training in design and aesthetics allows me to quickly observe and start shooting. From video shot to film photography, events to product photography, when I faced with challenging cases and content, I always face them head-on and insist on doing my best.
Photography is not only a job or career, that is my attitude and my lifestyle!
