"Alfie Cameras: A Tangible Record of Humanity"- Negative Influence w/ Justin Allen

This week on Negative Influence, we’re joined by Dave Faulkner, founder of Alfie Cameras.We talk about what it takes to build a camera company in today’s film photography landscape, the challenges of bringing new products to market, and the philosophy behind creating photographic tools that prioritize experience over convention.We also dive into Alfie’s latest project, the BOXX, a handcrafted photographic system inspired by early photography that exposes directly onto photographic paper and allows photographers to develop images themselves using Alfie’s Pocket Darkroom system. From ground glass composition to creating your own prints, the BOXX is designed as a complete photographic experience.Whether you’re interested in film photography, camera design, or the realities of building something new in a niche industry, there’s a lot to enjoy in this conversation.Learn more about Alfie Cameras and the BOXX below.Support their Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davefaulkner/alfie-boxx-cameraVisit Alfie Cameras!www.alfiecameras.comwww.instagram.com/alfiecameras This is a public episode.
