These days digital photography has the majority of the photographic share, leaving film photographers as some sort of strange or exotic beasts in the world of photography. However, the trend of film photography still exists in the 21st century and many still believes that there is still hope for film photography as many youths which are interested in Lomography or toy cameras, are increasing. Thus, the ‘digital versus film photography’ topic had people debating since 20th century.

Why people are so obsessed about it? Many said that film photography is a beauty, but do they know beauty comes in different kinds of form? Beauty is a part of aesthetics, but in this article I will only focus mainly on these two points- ‘exquisite’ and ‘sublime’. I will explain both of them and how can both of them to be found in film photography. Plus, I will aim more on film cameras and films. And maybe people in the end will start to enjoy it differently- in the aesthetic way.
