In this episode of Behind the Lens, I sit down with Charlotte Hagoort, a brand photographer who exclusively shoots on analog film. We dive into her unconventional journey—starting as a physiotherapist before taking the leap into photography—and how she discovered her love for film.
She shares why she chooses to work only with film for brand shoots, the challenges and rewards of this approach, and how she attracts clients who value the artistry of film photography. We also talk about her upcoming photography retreat in Tuscany this June—what’s planned, the creative vision behind the shoots, and yes, there will be horses!
If you've ever been curious about film photography for brands or dreamt of an inspiring creative getaway, this episode is for you!
