About Shoot Film Co.

Hi, I'm Mike Padua. I'm a photographer and the person behind Shoot Film Co.

I've been shooting film since the 1990s, and I started Shoot Film Co. in 2015 as a way to combine my love of photography and graphic design.

I've always been fascinated by the cameras, film stocks, old photo labs, and all the little things that make film photography what it is. If you've ever spotted an old camera or film box and immediately thought, "I remember that!" you'll understand where a lot of my ideas come from.

These days, Shoot Film Co. is mostly about T-shirts, with designs inspired by photographic history, nostalgia, and the occasional inside joke that only another photographer would understand.

Shoot Film Co. is a one-person business based in California. I create the designs and run the shop, while a production partner in Detroit, Michigan handles printing and shipping. Printed & Shipped in the USA.

Thanks for stopping by and supporting my little corner of the photography world.

— Mike
