Big Photo Hunt Member Daniela Hurtado, a talented film photographer and coffee shop owner based in Antigua, Guatemala, has found a way to blend her two passions—photography and coffee—into something truly unique. She introduced me to Caffenol, an eco-friendly, affordable, and chemical-free method of developing film using coffee, water, vitamin C, and other simple kitchen ingredients.
In this episode, Daniela shares the story of how she discovered this creative process and how she and her partner, Sebas, turned their love for coffee and photography into Cafegrafia, a must-visit coffee shop in the heart of Antigua. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a beginner, Daniela explains how you can easily develop your own film using coffee and why this technique is gaining popularity among analog enthusiasts.
If you're curious about sustainable photography, DIY film development, or just want to hear an inspiring story about following your passions, this episode is a must-listen.
