Emma asked me to help her take photographs of her Coffee Shop. Emma is an avid film shooter, colour, but has never shot medium format before.

She shoots like a true artist! And by shooting the coffee shop she got professional shots taken by herself for the cost of film and processing. She saved hundreds!! Good show.....and Good luck to Emma!
Watching Emma talk about her love of Film Photography fills my heart with joy so good to see her generation fall in love with film so Roger has found his apprentice 👍🏻 wishing her luck with her photography journey
Awesome! Educated the next generation to keep film alive!
I only wish more of the younger generation would embrace film. Thanks Roger.
Honoured to have developed these photos :) was a tough decision to either completely counter the tungsten light or keep a little bit of it to have some of that warm homeley feel of the shop - decided for the latter!
Thanks again!
Excellent job!!
A young person embracing film and starting a business is so nice to see. I wish her only good luck in both ventures.
It's great to see that more and more young people are getting into film photography!! Thank you Roger for your continuous support to help the film photography community 👏🏻 beautiful photos as always! Both color and black and white :D
I love that you're mentoring younger photographers in your community.
so young...so talented ...so smart. she should have a very rewarding future and career!! great photos by the way.
Emma’s story is great thanks to you Roger for bringing it to us.
There's just nothing like the look of film.
Lovely images both in colour and mono, especially the colour rendition very pastel. Glad to see Emma interested in film photography too.
Emma's got a good eye!
Well done, Rog. Great to see growing support and interest in film.
This is so beautiful to see. Makes me happy to see the next generation always!!
Me too
Film is not dead.
Nice, a new pick up line. "can i develop your film?". 😁. Promissing Moments in a dark room 😁😁👍
Super movie. I also noticed that more and more young people are interested in analog photography. And when I come to photograph your island, I already know where to drink coffee :)
It was awesome to see her passion for art….music….and being creative. What a girl…..smart….go getter….and love photography… I can see a whole lot of photography guy falling in love with her! Keep us informed how many marriage proposals she gets…hahaha.
But seriously- she is very lucky to have a great mentor such as roger and no wonder why she reach out. It is so important to help encourage anyone that is film-curious. I had a guy come up to me once and at forest I was worried he had criminal intent…..but then he pulled out of his bag a Leica - like it was a secret gateway key and a huge smile came across his face. We ended up walking around the rest of the day taking pics….and he was interested in my Hasselblad so I handed it to him to try 120 for the first time….and I got to use a Leica for the first time. It was a strange mix….a Leica guy and a Hasselblad guy…lol….but I’m 50 and he was 20…I’m Australian and he was Chinese….but we had a common connection with photography. Our generation and cultural gap didn’t matter…
I hope to see more of her Roger….. please keep us updated…. You can make her a sub story : like when she gets her first medium format ca,era….and her first film developing…. I suspect she will be very good for your UA-cam ratings… But I just fell in love with her….her passion….and her thirst.for knowledge…. She is a awesome :)
We need younger generations picking up film….but more importantly we need more women too….and break the old male wearing and anorak stereotype. Having a balanced cross section of the community gives our hobby a larger appeal to the film industry….old men wearing anoraks is not good business. Only issue for new comers is the increasing entry price for film cameras…..
Brilliant, love everything about this. Well done to both of you and wish her coffee shop every success.
Nice going Roger. She has those compositions under control . Great work. Now teach her B&W developing . KB
Bravo Mastro, Has I really enjoyed it as you showing her in using medium format...
Honestly, one of your best videos and set of photographs for a long time. Some great portraits of Emma who is one of those fortunate people who are good both behind and in front of the camera (unlike you and me) She really looks to have her head screwed on business-wise too. I'm not surprised she picked up the bug at Falmouth where I worked for a while. The photography department there is amazing! You should get her to do a darkroom session with you. Just make sure your wife is in agreement, otherwise you might be in trouble.
Just excellent photos from both of you here! Great purpose and great video. Thanks very much.
UA-cam works in strange and mysterious ways. I've been a fan of this channel for a while, and have been getting back into film photography and darkroom processing. Earlier tonight I decided to upgrade my espresso grinder. After watching a few grinder videos to jog my memory about the Rocket Espresso grinder line, this video popped up in my UA-cam suggestions. Film photography in a coffee shop ... who could ask for anything more.
That was great Roger. Lovely to see Emma’s obvious enthusiasm for film photography and I wish her success with it. You are a good teacher.
She's so sweet, love this video
She seems like a lovely young lady. I hope she finds success in her photography and her business. Props to You as well Roger, for inspiring the younger generation. Cheers!
Hi Roger, Andrew here in Ottawa. Canada 🇨🇦, hope all is well.
A really good video I loved the story presented and how you were helping Emma.
Keep up the great work
Cheers
Andrew
This was just bloody awesome . That is all
This is a most wonderful video Roger. This is brilliant.
good on you Roger.
I am glad I found your UA-cam Channel 🙏
Complimenti vivissimi lavoro sublime di altissima qualita' e proffessionalita', di nuovo bravi!!
Love every bit of it, thanks for teaching us all!
The Mamiya RB67 is a great choice. By turns, it can be a studio portrait camera, a close up/macro system, a "field view" camera, and Zone System Art camera.
Yes it's a great camera. We kept it in portrait on the back
Nicely done! Just a great feel and vibe.
Fun and very different story, thanks enjoyed it
Lovely shots ! Hope to see more!
Medium format ftw!
Great jib Roger! Not only did the shots turn out awesome, but helping that young Lady has so many good deeds. I think you recruited another medium format photographer. AWESOME!!!
Awesome!
This is really beautiful . Love the shoots ! Wishing Emma all the best with her coffeeshop and photography !!!
Lovely video Roger. Free coffee for life now eh?! :-) I really liked the colour tones James squeezed out of the film. Colour casts are easily forgotten after so many years of digital auto white balance sorting it out.
She said that once before Neil. I pay my way when I pop in.
I’m sure you do my friend. Perhaps the odd free rich tea biscuit then!
Very cool video. And nice work you two.
FANTASTIC PHIL THANKS¡¡¡
Exquisite presentation.
It is definitely cool to share knowledge ... why learn stuff if you keep it secrety!!!
8:39 Her photo-jutsu is strong. You could teach her next level "laying on my belly" moves already 😀
That will need a long day to learn. Even I have not truly mastered the belly shot yet.
Really loved this m8 🙂 Awesome photo's.... Love the colour shots... (but I'm a colour man too ;-)) Total encouragement to Emma! Ill make her shop my No1 to go to when I'm there 🙂
I'll take you up there.
Nice portrait of a young photographer. Being brave enough to open a coffee shop in June 2021, she certainly will master lesser challenges like medium format photography!
Nice Video Roger I will sort a few bits for Emma and drop them off to her shop soon
Please do
Fantastic video Roger, really enjoyed this. I’m sure it won’t be long before there’s a TLR up on her shelf. I think a lot of young people are yearning for a bit more meaning in photography these days. The constant stream of over filtered or photoshop fakery just leaves me a bit ‘meh’ these days, I swipe past them all. Not saying digital is bad, I use it too, it’s just so many images are in the realm of fantasy, totally over cooked.
That's mainly what is turning me off digital photography now. Hey ho, I've been guilty of it too. Won an award with an image that was overdone, copy on my wall. Turns my stomach now.
totally agree.
@@chromagraphphotoart oh I’m guilty too but over the last years it just doesn’t feel genuine. Leaving the realm of photography and going into full on ‘graphic image’ as I now call it. Each to his own though!
Great vlog with a lovely young lady. As she said, it looks nicer to my eye, when shooting on film. Digital is like plastic, it's everywhere, all the same, fantasy images/comps. Others feel different, but that is the beauty of photography. We cannot be all the same.
Some really excellent portraits from that UN54, and to be honest I preffered the B&W stuff over the colour. I think it would be better to see Emma's work in context, let it tell us her story rather than shout individual words. See, your work here tells a story, about a woman learning how to take photographs with a MF camera, how she struggled to obtain the results she wanted whilst the narrative explained her goals and ambitions. Emma's work needs that same opportunity . This is an excellent video Roger, some of your best work for sure, well done to Emma and youself!
You mean Emma away from the camera and more on her work as a coffee shop owner in photographs?
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss No, not at all - I'd like to see her remake this video but do it from her very own point of view - she's obviously got the talent. By "Context" above, I mean rather than seeing the odd photo of hers, lets hear the whole symphony rather than a few highlights. Wait til she pulls her first roll of HP5 out of the fixer mate, you have some serious compitition there! Maybe she should have her own channel - "Shoot Film Like A Boss's Apprentice" :D Emma, if she chooses to accept the mission could have quite a future on the Tube - this message will over expose itself in 10 seconds... Unless you screw your eyes up to around F8, in which case, that'll be 20 seconds.
I remember the first time I shot on medium format. It was very scary but so exciting!
me too
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I said that like it was ages ago. Just about a year back 😂
Emma you are so cool
Love the warmth of the colour shots
That was really sweet🙂 I liked seeing how you took on the mentoring role and the shots both you and Emma shot were lovely.❤️
Great video, well done Emma and big up to you for helping her as well.
Nice vibe, nice pics. Hope you got a free coffee.
I did!
great shots from both of you, and the caf'e shots look like they were off of a postcard, that good, you could even consider coasters, or other things, and sell them as prints.
Good to help other photographers, in particular the younger ones who may not be so impressed with computer imaging ( digital ), and seek to find out about film photography. Well done.
Thanks Lensman!
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Have you heard the latest Rog. Computational Photography to replace traditional i cameras. The guy who is supposed to be the expert in this field is the man behind the new Google Pixel Phone camera. I knew it was coming.
7:23 this is mainly for slide film, as the look is baked into your roll after developing, but (modern) colour negative film is made to be flexible. In the darkroom it is possible to use colour filters, but editing images digitally is extremely easy and basically the same thing as using colour filters in the darkroom. There isn't really any reason to use colour-correxting filters with C-41 and especially ECN-2, as these formats are meant to be flexible for the consumer. C-41 for soccer moms who shoot their cheap point and shoots without thinking about what film, location or lighting they were in without much thought and the professionals wishing to be able to get the most out of their filmstock. The of course there is ECN-2 for professionals to be able to edit the colours of their movies, but isn't really worth the trouble for the average consumer
Cheers Sam. A couple of people mentioned about a needing a filter over the lens for colour.
This was fun to watch, thanks
Truly great video to watch, Emma's comment on why she chose film over digital is in part the same as mine and probably an awful lot of others..... tactile, another part of mine though is I'm an old git 😂 and started with an om10😊.
Thanks Malc.
Brava Emma!
Great shots! Love them! 😍 And also love to see you use your F6 - it's an incredible camera. Arguably maybe even the best 35mm film camera? 📷👍
It really is!
Amazing!
Hello! LOL
Killer shots from both of you! Feels awkward to hear she's 2 years younger than me and already owns her own business. Hope to see more collaborations in the future. She's a great artist
hey, just wanna say that everyone has their own pace, you're not slow and you're not late. you're just on time. I wish you the best of luck!
@@whosjozikolnik That means a lot, Jozef! Thank you for the kind words.
@@danem2215 it's just facts, that's all I'm saying. you're more than welcome Dane :)
Wish I could get into contact here in BRENTWOOD with a younger Photo Enthusiast ! All the ones I meet are Pensioners !
I'm sure they are out there Pete in Brentwood. Hope all is well mate.
She owns a coffee shop at 23? Wow, I really am a loser!
you and me both lol
Where's the link to her website?! Nice B&W video in the video itself was that from the 6D?
On the link in the video and in description to instagram.
She has a coffee shop, don't anyone tell me she isn't kind of obligated to develop her own BW film in Caffenol!
Ha ha ha you know I need to tell her this. She may have a particular coffee for the job
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I've heard of people using just some strong brew filter coffee instead of the instant type. Might need some fiddling around but imagine! Coffee shop and BW development services!
Can you recall the name of the darkroom app, that works with Sonof?
Fadu timer
Using a Scouse comment there”Oh behave”! 😂
I was picturing Austin Powers :D
ha ha I didn't know!
