Analog photography is a beautiful medium. And yet, it never got the space it deserved online.
Social media platforms nowadays optimise for retention, recommend the most “engaging” content, monetise with ads, reduce costs by compressing images while destroying the fineness of grain, and lack some crucial resources to help photographers get better at their craft.
Additionally, the film photography community is fragmented over the Internet. Some photographers gather around Reddit communities; others around Facebook groups; and others around Instagram accounts and hashtags.
We created Newgrain to solve both of these issues. Newgrain is a platform dedicated to analog photography, where you can share your work and get inspired by the community, connect with talented photographers, and improve your artistic craft.
Our mission is to make analog photography thrive in the digital age, and we plan to achieve that in three ways:
The Newgrain app is designed to feel like an art gallery. No ads, no videos, no influencers – just photography. We've removed distractions and metrics such as likes and followers, so that the focus is truly on photographers’ work. In other words, “Quality > Quantity” was our philosophy behind the creation Newgrain.
