abby grace - There’s something so satisfying about shooting personal work on film. These are really, really lovely.

megan - Beautiful Jonas!
David Sundstrom - This just makes me want to hop in a plane and explore the world!

Alexander Leaman - 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…
sami d - ah, these images. and being paired with sigur ros, makes them even more magical.
Eric Uys - 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!!
simon - Absolutely stunning, love the colours. The first shot of the yacht is my favourite.
Shauna Ploeger - Love all these. Film is amazing. Beautiful!
Priti Shikotra - Ah…I was scrolling down and saw something that was so familiar…Ubud…Bali..Man I miss travelling <3
Tenielle - Just lovely Jonas. But I think your little ones stole the show :)
Julian Beattie - Awesome images. Jealous of the travels man!
Stefan Hellberg | Switzerland Wedding Photographer - 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.
Catherine Abegg - Jonas! Love these…! xo.
Lisa O'Dwyer - 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 :)
Angie Papalas - Crazy, crazy beautiful brilliance. Putting film in my EOS3 right now.
Annette Wilson - DANG!
Matt - 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 :)
starrman - Seriously, those boys of yours!
mbenk_geh - i really-really like your photos when you’re in Bali..
it’s very natural..
salam dari Indonesia :)
Oscar Rellan - I love your photos Jonas! Very nice!!
Costas - Amazing work as usual..
