How it all started

It all started with an analog enthusiast who had to put their passion on hold when prices of film have doubled in just a few years*

*An average cost of a single 35mm/36exp. roll went up by nearly 70% since 2018.

It’s unfair that choosing film over digital leaves artists with little or no opportunity to build a portfolio of work, simply because film has become so expensive.

The viscious circle needed to be broken,

and this is how the idea of 36FRAMES was born.

36FRAMES is not just another online print store — it’s a fundraising project and a community built on mutual support.

All funds raised are shared equally among artists, no matter how many prints of their work were sold — everyone receives the same amount in vouchers they can use at our partner labs to get free film stock and services.
