- Today, the art world and beyond is obsessed with shooting analog. Whether it's a fashion house seeking to bring a new edge to their creative work, an amateur perusing eBay for the perfect vintage Polaroid, or an influencer attempting to capture a comforting retro aesthetic on social media, analog photography has piqued the interest of people everywhere. Is this resurgence a backlash against digital photography? Is it just a trend perpetuated by our desire for authenticity in an increasingly superficial world? Or is it something else entirely? We explore the stories of those committed to using film in modern day photography.
I shoot both. I see the art in photography in general. Love this Documentary!
Thank you for this. As a film photographer. This warmed my heart so much.
I picked up an F3 recently and now I’m actually considering dropping digital completely. Modern cameras make it to easy for everyone to feel like they’re a pro. You don’t even have to try on cameras these days. The only benefit for digital is the lack of money spent on film. But knowing every shot cost something it also makes me think more about my composition.
Glad I was introduced to the magic feeling of the darkroom before most got torn down, and seeing the picture evolve sometimes in unexpected ways, giving it original feel
Inspirador!! Gracias por esto!!
Great insights with amazing artists and beautifully shot! I love film. Shooting on film is a completely different mindset.
This matters more or less depending on budgets, taste, is it art or commerce .... I'm currently about to dive back into film after a while - this came at the perfect time.
I love film but that said I've sold big prints I shot on digital with vintage lenses that look like film. I've sold digital made images to film photographers who actually was sure it was shot on film.
I'm not saying digital can't make great photos or analog look-alikes, but anyone who's fooled by the look-alikes can't really be qualifed as an expert film photographer.
@@igaluitchannel6644 not true at all. I've been photographing film since 1998 and digital since 2003. I'm a working professional photographer and have even fooled myself a few times. Vintage primes with a pro mist filter, Canson bryta fineart paper and some added grain and it will be very hard to see what’s what.. I have a print on my wall I took 10 years ago with both digital and film. I was sure it was the film one but turned out to be the digital file. Even my dad who has been photographing hundereds of thousands of images on film since 1969 sometimes think my digital images are 35mm prints.
@@igaluitchannel6644 there is no difference between the 2 it is just the process.
@@igaluitchannel6644 Who decides who's and expert these days? Certainly not you; a unknown person of the internet.
Digital photographer here, I have never ever understood people saying film gets me to stop spraying and praying. If that is the problem it does not sound like digital is your problem it sounds like you are an undisciplined photographer. I have only ever shot Digital and I never have this massive amount of photos after I go out and shoot. I take the few shots of things that urge me to take a photo and then Maybe some variations on those if I feel I did not get it right the first time.
Everything they say. I agree with. As a pro who has worked in film through to the digital age - I find it cold, uninteresting and ever so slightly meaningless - and I have spent nearly a hundred thou on digi kit - yes it works and it is quick and easy - but I find the artistry has been removed for convenience sakes.
Film is ABSOLUTELY so ORGANIC. Digital is cool, but film has SOUL!
So does digital.
I find it hilarious that some people here are saying there is so much control and artistry you have over film photography but then they say if you do that with digital then that is some how not legitimate?
I like to occasionally use film (it's a nice change, but expensive) but surely all that matters is the final image. Besides how are most film photographers posting their images online?
Superb
Love it!
Bruce is in this for two minutes. Interesting. He was right, it's about the photograph. Noting else.
This is beautiful. Thank you to Nicolas Arnold for the recommendation
One question: was this shot on film?
Doubt it, since it’s intended distribution was via digital means
I found a great middle ground...shooting with my digital cameras and using my OLD Canon FD Lens.
There was a time when one picture had the power to change the world. Today one picture means nothing. It's too easy, anybody can do it, even computers can, so it became worthless. Shooting film is a way to give back some value to photography. It's a much better way to learn, understand and appreciate photography... or even life. When you only get a few chances to do something, you try to make them count, or at least you try to screw things up less. That said, the excess of hipsterism and consumerism in film photography gets boring. But i guess we all need to grow, individually and collectively, to appreciate the big and the small things in life
As of right now I shoot both. Picked up an F3 last week so I can decide what I wanna stick with. I’m really loving shooting an older film camera and it’s nice not living in the back of a screen. Digital convenience is nice……..but I feel like I’m learning more having to slow down and think of every shoot because it cost money.
With eye tracking; film simulations; subject following; usable ISO up to 6400, pixel shift etc etc, when I photograph with a 2024 digital camera, I feel like I’m cheating.
Why this ideological battle as to what is better, just enjoy the photography whatever the process is that suit you
💯
Should be film photography in New York. It is an international phenomenon, in the states there is a lot going on in the West Coast, NW, and SW.
This film is just about near nauseating enough to make a response video about 🙄
💯 their is no better format it is just whatever process you gravitate to. I gravitate to digital myself just cause that is what I have always shot and I see reason to ever switch to film.
Am I the only one hating the idea of faking the film look on a digital image? Why make something look as something it is not?
Its ok it U don't understand ArT *
I shoot film and digital, neither i like it
The amount of pretentiousness here is off the charts.
Some pretentious 'artists' in this video. Look at me, I'm using a Film camera. Yeah yeah.
Jealous Much?
Analog is overrated.
I don’t think it’s overrated,I just think it depends on what look you’re going for and what you like. I think it’s great to use both. But this is just my opinion just like your comment 🙂👍
Overrated? Well, that's everybodies own decision. 😉
For me it's not just the end result, it's the way to get there. I'm not saying, I'm not proud of my digital images, but I'm sure more proud of an analogue one, even if it's with far less perfect, or clean.
It might not be the best comparison, but it's like cycling up a mountain on a mountain bike, or on an E-bike. It's harder, but more rewarding, and makes me, more proud of what I've archived. 😊
Nah...some people are just lazy and will never take the time to learn. Others just can't afford Film!
