So you’ve managed to score the Holy Grail of 110 format cameras (Defender of the universe!) , and you’re stuck for a little inspiration. Or maybe you subscribe to the view that size matters. Here’s 10 ways to be awesome with 110 format.









Unless you’re cashed up or you held on to your rareties from early on, most 110 cameras have deep depth of field. So why not use the increased depth of field to your advantage and play with composition?

That being said, there are some 110 cameras out there with full manual control. Why not use this to your advantage and use your camera in combination with the (most likely) expired film to create moody results.

Although framing with the tiny cameras can sometimes be a little bit out. Good thing they look so good scanned full frame.

The small size of of the cameras often allow you to get in where others can’t. It also means a 8mm fisheye is cheap. Make use of the wideness!

Despite the (often) cheapness of the lens, sharpness is not entirely out of the question.

Yet even so, sharpness isn’t a prerequisite for a great locational portrait.

Granted image resolution in larger sizes isn’t 110′s strong point. But you could always create a collage. Or maybe even a Hockney tribute.

All too easy for you? How about redscaled 110?
