I’m Mylyn

a photographer in portland, oregon.

I believe in MORE than just pretty photos

There's a reason I still read actual books.

I love the thrill of physically turning each page, seeing my progress through the story and smelling the paper and ink. It's real, it's tangible and it makes me FEEL something.

Our world these days is so fast paced. We scroll through photos and quickly double tap to like a photo that you just LOVE and yet only moments later it's already forgotten.

Your memories deserve more than that.

They deserve to be remembered. To be felt. To be noticed.

To live.

Making your memories tangible is the single greatest gift I could ever give. I specialize in creating that gift so that the photo itself keeps on giving.

Film photography as an art medium is an intentional choice. There's a magic to film. The pastel colors, it's creamy texture——

it looks and feels like a real memory.

Those soft, faded, romantic memories we paint in our minds of the times that are special to us.

IN THE END, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE PICTURES

its about the experience

PHOTOS ARE

JUST PIECES OF PAPER

until the artist

transforms it.

the paper just stays

paper.

YOU CAN BLAME MY DAD for my love of film

He traveled the world in his twenties and I devoted hours to staring at the slides from his adventures. I remember, even then, being enthralled with the details. The colors of the film, the wind blowing through his dusty hair, the textures of the fields and the stark, authentic emotions in every face.

Years later I've made it my mission to keep remembering. I want you to remember not just the look of elation on his face when you round the corner but the way your heart overflowed with passion and adoration. I want you to feel your photos, not just see them. Because life's always best when you feel alive.
