SINGAPORE: As a teenager, Ms Trisha Lim gave up on film photography because the hobby was too expensive on her student’s budget.

In 2021, a few years into her career in communications, she thought it might be the right time to get back into the hobby, costly as it was.

But with the price of film steadily climbing, Ms Lim, now 28 years old, is unsure if she will continue pursuing film photography.

“I’m quite on the fence. When I finally use (my stash) up, I guess I’ll see how much film costs at that point,” she said. Ms Lim has around 15 rolls of film that she bought overseas or on online platforms such as Shopee and Carousell.
