Film for Her
Film for Her is a story book of people, places, and memories captured on film. Through photographs, poetry, prose, and a short story, Orion Carloto invites readers to remember the forgotten and reach into the past, find comfort in the present, and make sense of the intangible future. Film photography isn’t just eye candy; it’s timeless and romantic—the ideal complement to Carloto’s writing. In Film for Her, much like a visual diary, word and image are intertwined in a book perfect for both gift and self-purchase.

A vapid collection of Tumblr poetry.
If you're into aesthetics, then this is a good book for the coffee table if that's something you're into. But the writing is terrible. Even the photos come across so...shallow? It's an Instagram feed come to life, which is fine if you're already expecting that but I suppose I was looking for something not as curated or polished for the sake of appearing trendy. Overall, this book is what happens when influencers get massive book deals. Pretty on the surface but not much happening narrative-wise. Orion has a great perception of beauty and clearly can tell a story, but she needs to do a few writing workshops to avoid some of the cliches that pop up regularly in this book.
Not written for someone like me
It was an ok read, but it wasn’t for me. I feel bad that she feels alone all the time, but I can’t help but be annoyed with the writer. She holds a lot of privilege to be able to get the education she received, be able to travel the way she does, and to have the friends she has. It just came off a bit spoiled. I come from a poverty stricken background so I couldn’t relate to her struggles at all, it seemed very tone deaf to people like me who couldn’t afford such luxuries at such an age. I wish I could tell her that being alone is fine and to enjoy yourself. But I did really enjoy the photography and thought the writing itself was good, I just didn’t enjoy the subject.
Beautiful! Wish I had received a book in better condition.
I LOVE Orion and I was so excited to get her second book! Beautifully written, BUT I expected a book in a good condition if I’m paying full price for a hard cover. It’s obvious that this book was scratched and someone attempted to cover the white scratch by going over it with a black pen or sharpie. I want to put it on display as a coffee table book, but every time I look at the drawn over scratch, it’s disappointing. :(
Queen
I’m in love with Orion and I’m in love with her book! Amazing quality as well. She’s a queen, I’ll be honest!
An improvement from Flux
Beautiful poems, photography and short stories. Orion reels you in within the first paragraph. The pictures included helped tell the stories — you can feel her emotions through every poem every Polaroid picture. Definitely an improvement from flux. I hope she keeps it up!
must read - and view the photos are beautiful
the way orion has the ability to blend words with images, chef kiss. all this magic in a beautifully bound fabric hardcover book. all around from content to aesthetic - this is a must have book for anyone's collection.
