Negative film refers to a type of photographic film used in traditional analog photography, where the exposed image appears in reverse colors or tones. In negative film, light areas of a scene become dark, and dark areas become light. This is due to the chemical process during development, where the film captures a negative image of the scene. Negative film is typically used for color or black-and-white photography and is developed in a darkroom using specific chemicals.
Once developed, the negative film can be printed onto photographic paper, creating a positive image that accurately represents the original scene. Color negative film, in particular, is popular for consumer photography due to its ability to capture a wide dynamic range and vibrant colors. Negative film has been largely replaced by digital photography in most applications but remains in use for artistic, archival, and experimental purposes, as many photographers still appreciate its distinctive grain and tonal quality.
