grainydays

Jason Kummerfeldt, known online as grainydays, is an American photographer and content creator who has become a central figure in the analog photography community on YouTube. His work is dedicated exclusively to the use of film, exploring a wide variety of formats including 35mm, medium format and occasionally large format. Through his videos, Jason documents his travels through the United States and other countries, showing the entire process from the choice of film and camera to the final scanning of the images, with a particular focus on landscapes and urban scenes with a melancholic tone. What really defines grainydays is its narrative style full of self-deprecating humor, sarcasm and very careful cinematographic editing. Far from conventional technical reviews, Jason uses his vlogs to reflect on the failures and frustrations inherent in the analog medium, creating an honest connection with his audience through his "photographic fails." In addition to his video content, he runs an online store where he publishes his own fanzines (zines) and sells copies of his works, establishing a personal brand that balances entertainment with a very distinctive artistic vision.
