For the last three years I have been on the road from June to August. I’ve met some amazing people and shot some fantastic weddings. On my free time I still love to take photos, but for my personal work I choose to capture everything on film instead of digital. There’s something about film that still holds my heart in a tight grip. The images have another soul and breathes of imperfection and life. And every time I shoot film, I secretly wish that I could shoot more of it for the work I do. Here are just a few frames from Lipari in Italy and my home away from home – Bali. Shot with a Canon EOS 3 on Fuji 400H with a number of prime lenses.

Beautiful photos, I love them. Can you tell me what cameras your kids have? They look great. I want to get one for my little boy. Thanks:)
August 13, 2012 - 10:21 am
So beautiful shots, Jonas! So impressive.
Big hug from Brazil, man.
August 13, 2012 - 10:22 am
I love your film work Jonas…and I totally agree about the ‘soul’ sentiments…there’s just a hint of magic…
August 13, 2012 - 10:30 am
beautiful work. love the light hitting the man with his wheelbarrow.
August 13, 2012 - 10:37 am
great set dude how good that you take your boys on your travels ! so awesome
August 13, 2012 - 10:38 am
There’s something so satisfying about shooting personal work on film. These are really, really lovely.
August 13, 2012 - 10:43 am
Thats the business, man. The more I see shooters I follow shooting film the more I notice the massive difference between that and digital. And the more a badass case of GAS rears it’s head.
August 13, 2012 - 10:48 am
I never realised before but you’re right, film definitely has a special look. Its nostalgic and suits vacation photography perfectly!
August 13, 2012 - 10:59 am
Beautiful Jonas!
August 13, 2012 - 11:11 am
This just makes me want to hop in a plane and explore the world!
August 13, 2012 - 11:26 am
Beautiful images, Jonas! There’s something about film that digital can’t have. I promised myself that I would get a film camera this year and I’ll try to capture my daughter life, like my father did when I was very young. Thank you for the inspiration, my friend!
August 13, 2012 - 11:35 am
Calming.
August 13, 2012 - 12:13 pm
I’m dropping off a bunch of 400H at my lab from our family trip to Cebu. Been loving it for travel shooting. Great work.
August 13, 2012 - 12:56 pm
well then you won’t mind me saying i secretly wish you shot more of it in your work, too :) lovely.
August 13, 2012 - 1:18 pm
stunning.
August 13, 2012 - 1:49 pm
You do good work… I don’t care what anyone sez…
August 13, 2012 - 2:07 pm
Really beautiful work, they somehow to me seem more relaxed. Great work.
August 13, 2012 - 2:44 pm
Lately I’ve been getting the itch to start shooting film.. your work is one great example of why it’s still worthwhile to use film!
August 13, 2012 - 3:14 pm
SO rad Jonas. Love the shot of your kids in their helmets. :)
August 13, 2012 - 3:47 pm
This seems to have been a wonderful time Jonas. Great story in wonderful pictures !
August 13, 2012 - 4:26 pm
glad someone else got to witness what a slacker jakob is :)
August 13, 2012 - 4:33 pm
Hey, is that Brad Pitt? #nordicadude
August 13, 2012 - 4:58 pm
wow, good stuff. Film is so rewarding, I hope it never dies and doesn’t get more expansive than it already is… :)
August 13, 2012 - 6:22 pm
Nice man, very nice!
August 13, 2012 - 7:54 pm

You could write a fairy tale about your travels! Love the music, what is this?
August 14, 2012 - 12:38 am
The first photo is great. Such a tranquil mood. Totally agree on the appeal of the film.
August 14, 2012 - 12:49 am
Beautiful photographs.. I wish we could get this look / feel while shooting digital.. is there any way..
August 14, 2012 - 1:01 am
Absolutely beautiful work. So many amazing places.
August 14, 2012 - 3:41 am

Love them all. Particularly the one of your 2 boys with cameras around their necks. Too cute!
Bali holds a special place in my heart also, and I love your images from there.
August 16, 2012 - 3:15 am
Niiice! Love the film look! I wish I could do some film shoots too in near future!

Beautiful. I am so glad I bought the august edition of frankie. Coming across your photographs is a blessing.
August 17, 2012 - 8:45 pm
Hey Jonas, Love this set of pics – there’s a lot of fun going on there. The stuff of instant nostalgia.
The EOS 3 was my last film camera before moving over to digital (10 years ago?) and I remember wondering why my new amazing 6mp digital SLR wasn’t able to produce the same quality! The semi-pro EOS couldn’t be anywhere as good as the new digital Nikon, right?!!
I’m still looking for a mint EOS 3 today…
August 18, 2012 - 4:51 am
ah, these images. and being paired with sigur ros, makes them even more magical.
August 20, 2012 - 10:11 am
I remember I had a Canon EOS 3 back in the day for like a month, it was expensive and I felt so guilty for paying so much for a camera back then I could not bear it and sold the camera again within a month.. this was ages before digital came along and re wrote the book on what cameras should cost! now I sit with a Contax 645, Nikon F100 and a gorgeous Canon EOS 50 and no film!!
August 21, 2012 - 12:03 am
Absolutely stunning, love the colours. The first shot of the yacht is my favourite.
August 21, 2012 - 12:56 am
Love all these. Film is amazing. Beautiful!
August 21, 2012 - 6:50 am
Ah…I was scrolling down and saw something that was so familiar…Ubud…Bali..Man I miss travelling <3
August 21, 2012 - 5:25 pm
Just lovely Jonas. But I think your little ones stole the show :)
August 22, 2012 - 2:37 pm
Awesome images. Jealous of the travels man!
August 24, 2012 - 12:18 am
nice, makes me want to get back in to film photography. Thanks for the inspiration. You make a difference in the world, that’s awesome.
August 24, 2012 - 4:00 am
Jonas! Love these…! xo.
August 24, 2012 - 5:35 am
I’ve been using film too for all of my personal work since this past May. I love the look it gives me and I think the quality and the feeling from it are so important for documenting your own family. There’s no reason why you can’t be a 100% film shooter or at least 90%? Go for it! I’m making the switch and feel totally liberated and feel like I’m coming home :)
August 25, 2012 - 11:23 pm
Crazy, crazy beautiful brilliance. Putting film in my EOS3 right now.
August 26, 2012 - 11:08 pm
DANG!
August 28, 2012 - 5:05 am
I remember the EOS 3 very well… for all the practicalities of digital cameras, I still miss the depth and, as you eloquently put it, the ‘imperfections’ of film…. a great set of images as well Jonas :)
September 7, 2012 - 4:12 pm
Seriously, those boys of yours!
September 18, 2012 - 9:00 pm
i really-really like your photos when you’re in Bali..
it’s very natural..
salam dari Indonesia :)
September 21, 2012 - 9:10 am

I’m also absolutely in love with her dress! I know it’s a girly thing to ask, but do you know who the designer is? Amazing work as always!
Fotograf Gliwice - Simply, simply gorgeous!
