Analogue Wonderland is a High Wycombe-based online store and processing lab for UK film photography enthusiasts. It all started in 2018 with the idea to make film photography as fun and accessible as possible for everyone. Mother-and-son combo Mary and Paul teamed up to share their passion for film photography with the world, and put the soul back into photography. Now six years on, Analogue Wonderland is a one-stop shop for film photographers across the UK and beyond.

What is your favourite film stock?
My favourite film stock is Kodak UltraMax 400. It has the perfect balance of sharpness and grain — it helps give the images an organic touch while preserving details. I often shoot in the dark, so the 400 speed is great. And the availability and relative affordability is a nice bonus!
Which camera(s) do you use?
You’ll almost always find me with a Minolta and Leica from the ’80s, the Minolta CLE, paired with a 28mm Summicron. I also like to take my Rolleiflex out for a walk every once in a while.
What do you like to photograph?
I like to photograph scenes that are more on the quiet side and have interesting compositions. Bright lights and dark shadows often draw my attention. I’m usually most satisfied if I get a bit of a painterly vibe out of an image.
Why do you shoot film?
To see my surroundings a little differently than I would otherwise do. It lets me not try to have what I take as close to what I see, and instead make something entirely new.
