Emulsive

On their website, you will find a host of film stock and camera reviews, how-tos, as well as essays, photo stories and thought pieces from a network of super-talented and enthusiastic film photographers. You’ll also find the fortnightly EMULSIVE Interview: a series of interviews with film photographers the world over. On top of all that, they manage a network of active communities on social media; and create and help support various film-related events throughout the year.

EMULSIVE comes from a contraction of “EMULSion is emotIVE“, although the word itself conveniently also describes a substance that can be made into an emulsion – unexpected but nice!

It also has a nice feel to it and rolls nicely off the tongue, don’t you think?
