Best of the Month: July 25

BEST OF THE MONTH JULY 25

Every month, we share a selection of our favorite photos captured with finesse by our community of film photographers on our social media channels.

Blazing sun, skateboarding sessions, walks by the sea, and tornadoes... summer is full of contrasts this year.

≪ This photo was taken one morning a few weeks ago at La Muralla Roja in Calp, Spain—
the iconic building with colorful facades designed by Ricardo Bofill, whose aesthetic inspired the series Squid Game.≫

@iamedouardcamus
Nikon F2
Nation Photo 100E
≪ As I wandered along the small roads of Ireland, I stopped at the national park to explore
the forest and took the opportunity to test the Nation Photo 100E slide film in my trusty Nikon F2. ≫

@damien_dost
Minolta SRT101
Ilford 3200
≪ I never thought I would publish this photo. I'm not a big fan of black and white, but an American tornado hunter
told me that I was probably the only one to have photographed this perfect tornado on film, and that it would be a shame
not to publish it. A look back at the craziest day of my life, May 18, 2025, in Arnett, Oklahoma.≫

Nation Photo 400
≪ When life becomes complicated or a void sets in, it creates a kind of knot in the human brain. My most reasonable solution is then to escape, to seek space. To be somewhere else without being far away.≫ J., the sleeping boy

Minolta Dynax 404 si
Kodak Gold 200
≪ In a relay in Burgundy, under the stairs, too drunk to take a step,
behind the door that creaked too much, to the right of a dusty desk, the carpet smelled like the 1960s and I felt old. ≫

Ilford HP5+
≪ An afternoon in March at the beach on the Grande Côte
The horizon obscured by sand-covered pine trees ≫

and a moment from a video shot this summer with a Sony camera. ≫
