You're about 40 if you're on your way out soon from this demographic and 25 if you've just made your entry into this select age group. We're the generation that grew up with the internet in our teens (and pretty much contributed to making it the over-utilised, super-connected global network that it is today).

As millennial photographers, we're also probably the youngest generation to have made a foray into digital photography after cutting our teeth on 35mm film. We'd pop in a roll into an autofocus compact or a semi-automatic SLR and head over to a studio to develop after 36 clicks. But when it came to developing them, we were at the mercy of two significant factors. The film stock we used and the developer at the lab we went to. Sure, there wasn't too much to worry about for snapshots and family pictures in terms of artistic freedom. And if we wanted to get a particular look in our images, we'd pick a film stock that had an unmistakable visual style and pray that the camera's meter was reading the light well before we clicked. . thephoblographer.com
