The 7. District is probably one of our favourite districts in Vienna. We mostly visit it when we are out to grab some food or search for new camera gear. Nowadays, the district is known for its students’ popularity, which reflects in the shops and the people you will find roaming the area. It offers whatever the heart desires, from small passages over a large shopping street to a great variety of camera shops.

The Volksgarten is one of our daily go-tos when on photo walks. Its central location makes it the perfect spot for people that are new to the city and want to enjoy the beauty of Vienna.

This post is the first of a series of blog posts about shooting film in Vienna. We are Joe (@jb__shoots) and Christophe (@victoshot) – two students at Vienna University who fell in love with film photography in 2019/2020. We are friends and share a passion for showing the beauty of one of our favourite cities.

Our night photography journey started in July 2020, when we decided to head to the Prater to give CineStill 800t a shot. Getting our hands on this film at the time required us to sell two healthy kidneys and brought us to the brink of financial misery. All jokes aside, after arriving at the Prater, we quickly realised that it is the perfect location to shoot this type of film. The park is full of bright rides and artificial lights that are very unusual for Vienna.
