First off, yes… We Shoot Econo is a reference.
We’re a group of photographers and camera nerds who believe good work doesn’t take a big budget. Expired stock, bulk-rolled film, thrift-shelf cameras, a bathroom darkroom. etc… whatever gets the image made. We develop it ourselves, scan it ourselves, sometimes build or 3d Print it ourselves, and we’d rather spend the money on more film than on better gear.
We Shoot Econo is a rolling web zine, with a best-of printed once a year. We hope to show that the work earns its place regardless of what it was shot on.
