These are good photographs regardless of who took them. What might make them seem special are the subjects. Most people can learn how to operate a camera including a $2000.00 point and shoot camera film or digital really doesn’t matter. What is most important is being there and in having access to locations and people. I think that David Hill is am amazingly talented and creative photographer and that is why he has earned the right to have the access to these kind of people.

Mostly yes, for the artificially-light style he typically shoots in would not be possible to do in film, let alone a rangefinder. There was a shot or two that I remember he said he used an SB800 or something, but it wasn’t any of the above photos, as memory serves.

That really would be amazing if he could fit black and white film into a digital Leica M8. You win again, Dave Hill.

Remember these shots are mostly made durring the big shoots he was doing, you notice the people in his photos are those who fill his music portfolio. That said he probably took these shots durring pauzes in the shoots. talking about dedication for your good shots..
