      It's really one of those things that just clicked and stuck with me. When I got back into shooting film and developing it myself around 2009, it just satisfied something in me that digital has never really touched. There's a physicality and material nature to it that I don't get from digital. Scanning is fine and gets the job done, but a dark room print is something digital never touches. There's also a built in element of time-away from the the images. Waiting to develop several rolls lets the images "rest" so I come back to them with fresher eyes instead of immediately pulling things off of a card at the end of a shoot.

    • @tkarlmann
      @tkarlmann 6 месяцев назад

      @@aestheticcontrol Do you use an enlarger and make prints, or do you print the digital files? Is your darkroom used to develop the film only? Alternatively, I find seeing the images right away can tell me immediately how an image could have been improved.

    • @aestheticcontrol
      @aestheticcontrol 6 месяцев назад

      @@tkarlmann I do both digital printing and dark room printing. I prefer dark room for sure, but don't always have the time to print everything, so I usually do a few test prints at smaller sizes to get an idea of what I want to take to the dark room. I do all my development with patterson tanks at home. That is a very real advantage of digital, and I use digital for some paid jobs for sure, but I find I'm always happier with a less than technically perfect film image over a perfect digital image. But, photography hits everyone differently, go with what works best for you! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you I really enjoyed this. I see you shoot film from your examples which I enjoyed. To add to what you’ve said, finding your style is trying everything. I learnt quite quickly that getting up at 4am to capture a sunrise, or sitting by a river for two days freezing to capture an otter, etc., were not my thing. I like street as streets are always there. :) it took me a few years to find my own style looking at the work of the Magnum photographers. Saul Liter was an inspiration and it was a style I followed, but in my own way. I think so many RUclips videos are about “Pros do this”, or “Pros do that.” Let’s be honest to learn what so called Pros do look at their body of work. So thank you for this video I only have one complaint 😂. You dissed Nikon. Why? The best camera you have is the one your carrying. For me it’s now a Fuji mirror less. Before A Nikon FE film camera. And holy of holies Leica are overrated. Owning one was the biggest disappointment I ever had. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your thoughtful advice for people seeking a style. 😅
