One advantage back in the film days was that you could use a lesser camera but still use the same optics of a high-end body. Therefore the lens and the film were the two equalizers that allowed anyone with talent to create an image that would be just as good as a “pro”.

Only recently to some degree are you seeing this in digital, but you still need a high-end body to get great noise, high bit, or high res, etc. Back then you could put Kodachrome 25 in (for instance) a Nikon F or a Nikkormat with a 50mm Nikkor and had the same resolution and essentially taken the same exact image.

It’s little disheartening to go out of your way to use a medium like film that still has good potential for creative use, only to finalize the image with an Instagram process. He could have just used a cell phone and have been done with it.

These have still been edited though, I’ve shot (cross processed as well) a lot of film, on a lot of cameras and various scanners and software, and never really seen anything from the stocks come out like this.

The reason I love film so much is because it simply removes most of these choices of editing and such, you make the choices before hand (400H, Gold, Portra, Tri-X, Delta 3200, whatever).

My 5D Mark III gets a lot of neglect to my various film cameras, but it’s not because I Just think Film as a physical entity is the better way to take a photo for everyone, but because I love the process and involvement, and the simplicity and the slowing down process of it all. 90% of the work, whether for clients or personal is film. Lots…. and I mean lots, of people still shoot all film.

but these are still edited, which to me defeats the purpose of most film shooting, at least in my opinion.

i shoot Digital for work and film for self….Have a gorgeous ‘Blad and a lovely Zeiss, shooting rolls of film still is vastly more satisfying to me and reminds me of the days when i trained and had access to darkrooms. Aaah.

Unless you print in the darkroom! While that still will not garnish you online views, it is nice to have on the wall when you have guests.

The analog film is still alive! Just digital media forcing this bullshit that film is dead and it’s time to move on…

I’m 24yo and I still use film because when I was a 8-10yo child my father and grandfather bought for me an analog camera and materials. I usually work with various Canon and Nikon DSLRs (D800, 5Dmk3, etc) but when I take photos just for me, I love use analog film!

My friends are piss me off often with “Oh, you hipster, what is in your neck, is this a Leica or LOMO?”

No, fcuk you… It’s Zeiss Ikon medium format camera from my grandfather! I’m not hipster, I’m not lomographer! I’m photographer who still fell in love with analog!

And if the analog is dead, why everybody adding “analog effetcs” to the digital photos? Everybody love analog or “analog feeling”, but most of the photographers just too stupid for use that!

p.s. Sorry for my grammar, English isn’t my native language.

If you read the title of an article that says “Young Film Photographer” and you think this is an over done trend, then just don’t read the damn article and stop all the complaining that seems to be more common than videos on here. If you want to look at some photos then great, look at them and move on. Fstoppers never had a mission statement that said they would only post Chase Jarvis videos to make all the high and mighty photographers out there happy. They are a social platform for people to engage with cinematography and photography on all levels.

The camera you use film or digital is not the issue. What matters is the final image and if you are able to create your creative vision.

For practical reasons most working professionals shot digital but on a purely creative level who really cares what you use.
