MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with veteran photo journalist and photographer Kris LeBoutillier. This week on Singapore Home Brew, we dive into a fascinating cultural shift: the return of film photography. And not just film — early‑2000s digicams, camcorders, disposable cameras, even flip phones. 

Gen Z and younger millennials are exhausted by algorithmic feeds, AI‑generated perfection, and the endless sameness of smartphone photography. They want something tactile, unpredictable, imperfect — something human. And old cameras deliver exactly that.

We explore the three overlapping trends driving this movement: 

📸 The Film Camera Revival — grain, blur, light leaks, and the thrill of waiting for your photos. 

📷 Digicam Culture — harsh flash, low megapixels, oversaturated colours… now considered cool. 

🤖 The Anti‑AI Aesthetic — visual proof that a real person was there.

Kris explains why this isn’t nostalgia — it’s a counterreaction to hyper‑digital life. A mindfulness practice. A creative rebellion. A way to slow down.

Singapore is feeling it too: vintage camera prices are soaring, classes are full, and young creators are rediscovering the joy of intentional photography.
