How can this Photo be used?

This stock photo is well suited for agencies, publishers, and creative studios integrating analog visual language into campaigns, book covers, or magazine layouts. The commercial license on Kataloop allows broad usage, including promotional materials for photo labs, film schools, archive services, or cultural projects. The 8640 x 5760 pixel resolution also supports large-format print production.

What mood does this Photo convey?

The combination of warm brown film tones and the cool white of the ribbed glass creates a calm, matter-of-fact contrast. Selective focus draws attention directly to the perforations while the background softly fades away. The image feels focused and analytical, with a subtle nostalgia inherent to the analog medium itself.

Which camera was used for this Photo?

The extreme detail in this shot comes from the Sony Alpha 1 (ILCE-1) and its 50.1-megapixel sensor, capturing every film perforation at 8640 x 5760 pixels. The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II at a wide aperture creates the distinctive shallow depth of field that separates the film strips from the blurred background, adding a three-dimensional feel to the image.

What visual style or trend does this Photo show?

Analog aesthetics are experiencing a broad revival in visual communication. Film strips, grain, and handcrafted photographic processes signal authenticity and a slower pace, a counterpoint to digitally smooth perfection. This image also serves the growing demand for archival aesthetics in cultural projects, documentary design, and the marketing of creative professions.

Standard vs. Unlimited

Usage up to 100,000 is always included (e.g. followers, newsletter subscribers, or monthly web/app users, based on the figures at the time of purchase, no upgrade required). If a print run of 100,000 or a campaign budget of €100,000 is exceeded, choose “Unlimited”.

Credit mention

When using our content, you must visibly credit “kataloop.com” or “Kataloop” (with link). Ideally this is placed near the image, alternatively at another location in your project, such as the imprint. If you do not wish to provide attribution, you can select “Waiver of attribution”.

Commercial / Editorial

“Commercial” covers commercial use. “Editorial” is an exception that permits editorial use only. These images do not have model or property releases.

The end client matters

The basis for the price is the key figures of the company or individual using the image or video. Please ensure that attribution is provided where required and that the 100,000 limit applies to Standard licenses.
