Nick, I think the reason why people are suffering from this desperation for justification is because in todays world it's extremely easy to labeled as someone unoriginal. Everyone is copying everyone, everyone wants to be famous, and we many people are lost in the masses of popularity. A utopian ideal would be "the only justification I need is the justification for myself" therefore: "if I like this and that I'm going to do this and that, and who cares what others think." The problem is that most people desperately want to be accepted and even celebrated by their community. Nobody wants to go against popular belief simply because it's unorthodox. I had a conversation with one of my followers who was asking me about how many rolls of film I shot per day or week. I was confused because he had assumed I go out and shoot every day, like it's a thing I GOT TO DO. My answer startled him because I answered with "sometimes I won't even finish one roll of film in a week" - I think we live under the impression that we are constantly forced to produce and come up with better and new material and/or art. We put immense pressure on ourselves to constantly produce- no matter if we are an artist, photographer or fashion blogger. The "instant" community is extremely demanding, because your work has so little meaning there. I'm not trying to bash social media now, as you know my opinion on this, there are both good and bad sides to it. Nevertheless, the curious thing is that much of this happens in our heads. We are influenced by seeing people make fantastic photography with a Point and Shoot and immediately we force ourselves to produce something similar, even when that might not be our style or approach. Creative constraint is essential in "blocking out" too much noise and distraction, but it shouldn't be creative slavery. We want to feel free within the boundaries that we have created for ourselves. Once again the key to really accomplishing inner creative peace is accepting that a balance of things is necessary. You want some constraint, some boundaries, some freedom and the key element, the one thing that I've really really learned and I want to emphasise this is: enjoy what you do. Creativity should be an outlet, a release and a form of expression. If you are feeling more stressed or confused while being creative, then you are not releasing your tension right. I want to go out and shoot and have fun, and not constantly worry about if i'm going to take good pictures, if I'll be popular, if I'll manage to sell prints and what not. To sum this up: show strength, discipline and bloody have fun with what you do!
Are you trying to print digital negatives???!!! That, I would love to do! About the topic, I agree, but... I think it depends on who you are telling that message, yourself or everyone else. If you tell yourself you are going to use just one tool, or you are going to shoot just one thing... that could be bad because it can limit your creativity. In my case, though, I tell everyone I shoot B&W film (HP5, always!) with my Bronica. This is because that's my mainly camera and I enjoy using it so much. I want to be identified with that, almost like my brand. In reality though, I use all the cameras I have around me, and they are a lot, digital and analog. That creates funny situations like having someone saying how much they love the tones of HP5 on a digital photo, or asking how I added the grain on a film photo. Anyway, great video as always, Nick. Big fan here, I watch 95% of your videos even if I don't always comment on them. Keep it up!
Hey thanks buddy! The question I have is, what if the day comes when you no longer want to be associated with HP5. Are you going to be comfortable chasing the new creative path you want to go down, or will you be paralyzed by the fact that you’ve previously labeled yourself as the hp5 guy? That’s what I see so many people in the community running into. For a extended period of time they may have wanted to focus on one film and aesthetic, but when interests shift and they want to go on a new adventure they feel to bound by the expectations they set up in the community. Just something to think on. Perhaps you will shoot HP5 till the day you die (And I may be right there in that boat with you), but at least considering the alternative and how you will proceed can only bring more freedom. Cheers
That's a very good question. I don't think it'd be a problem to start shooting with something different than HP5 or my Bronica. In fact, I already do, I mix my film photos with digital ones or shot with other film stocks, and people do not notice. I allow myself to use whatever tool I feel like using. But now that I think about it, what would be really hard for me to change is the B&W and square images I make. I do that no matter which camera I'm using. It's my style, and that... that'd be hard for me to change. I've experimented with color or other formats, but those images do not belong to my "main work". Good thing about this, people recognize the style. Bad thing, I might be stuck with it.
No. Your headline doesn’t deliver much content this time. But: I‘m thinking a lot about my photography this time. In my opinion people come to an end when they are dogmatic about publishing in social media. These days I’m thinking about my single images and try to create stories from 2 or more single stories. Where am I going as a photographer. And the conclusion will be very old fashioned: trying to publish according Images in exhibitions. The discussion about the right camera falls far behind into nonsense when you constantly question yourself as a photographer.
The conversation isn’t really about cameras, but more so about process and the like. The same trap so many fall into with cameras, could just as easily happen with subject matter, process, aesthetic etc. All I’m really saying is if anyone is in fear to move in a direction they want to with their photography, then things need to be seriously considered, and the question of ‘why’ needs to be addressed.
Thanks Nick for the vídeo. You have to be confortable when shoting with your camera and the formar that fits with the way you shot, that is all you need. For me, I use the format that fits with the project I am working on.
100% yes! I've tried finding a tactful way to say this for a long time. Unless someone is paying me to create a specific way, I should be enjoying the freedom of creative choice. Limitations have their place, but doing so simply do appease a social expectation is far from the spirit of art.
Great comments and reflections Nick. Totally right. I personally appreciate your channel and the content you share. Looking forward learning more from your videos. Kind regards!
I think the digital vs film debate is one that is getting extremely long in the tooth. Film and digital is incomparable in my mind. They are completely different, from processes to outcomes. I think we should see past what gear is being used and focus on the outcomes, and sharing them and inspiring both seasoned photographers and newcomers
Tools in a tool belt is all they are. To be defined by one or the other seems silly at this point. We are creatives that make work using the tool of photography at this point. Some digital, some film, some color, some black and white. In 5 or ten years who knows. Perhaps those shooting color will then be shooting black and white, perhaps others will be song writing or painting. Hopefully between now and then we dont miss who we can become, and the art we can create, by trying to be who we think we are suppose to be. Thanks for letting me spew some thoughts out on the fly, and thank you for sharing your thoughts!!
Sometimes I fall into this trap of posting more film staff, I don't no way, maybe because I genuinely care more. But in look other images I don't care if is digital o film.
Well put, relative to the types of cameras and approaches that we use. They don't define us. They don't define the art that we are creating. We look at the results, not the tools that were used to get there.
As soon as we are entrapped and enslaved by the gear or process we have sold ourselves short as artists. I think of amazing artists like Rauschenberg, Picasso, and even contemporaries like Anselm Kiefer who have created some of the most diverse portfolios of gorgeous work, that would have never otherwise been made if they would have let material or process define who they were as an artist. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic.
Great video. Alot of what you say makes sense. I have wondered about some of those things. I love challenging myself and changing it up every now and then. I have recently been on a huge kick shooting expired film both back and white and colour. Even shooting some film I had never heard of before like Grayhound Pan. I also purchased an Olympus OM-10 and enjoy shooting with it too. It is actually the first digital camera I enjoy using. I bought it mostly for work that requires a quick turn around but enjoy shooting it more and more for things like night photography since it requires packing less equipment. I can shoot mostly hand held so dragging my studio tripod is no longer an absolute must.
Ah man, thanks for sharing Daniel! I love hearing about the creative process you are going through. Ive heard good things about the OM10. It seems like a great rig to do some late night shooting on. Thank you again for the comment, and sharing what you’re working through :)
I agree restricting ourselves to the point of not being able to create because of those restrictions is harmful not only to our art but to the community as well. It's better to have an idea. You can change an idea, changing a belief is trickier.
Oh 100%. Thoughts and beliefs are two completely different beasts. Hopefully in confronting these topics people are walking away thinking in a new way, and not just new thoughts. There is a point where we can step into simply being a creative, versus feeling the need to be defined by the things we create. Maybe we are talking about two different things, as I reread your comment. Either way, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts :)
Loved this video Nick! One of my favourite quotes from a photographer, in this case Bill Brandt, is "photography is not a sport, there are no rules, everything must be tried and tested" which he said in response to the more 'Cartier-Bresson' approach to photography, that cropping and other manipulation in the darkroom somehow takes away the validity of a strong image. Thanks as always Nick! :)
Ah yes, so many people go up in arms about cropping and manipulation. I think Bills quote is perfect on the subject. Experiment, test, try it all. No rules, just expression :) Thank you so much for sharing!
I think part of it is some of us are trying to claim our stake in something. "This is me, know me for this". But essentially that is thinking backwards. you develop who you are artistically by continuing to work on your craft, not by trying to find something unique. The unique comes from how you eventually figure out your workflow, methods, personal taste, and the type of subject matter that is meaningful to yourself. you have to create for yourself first. Its always great when someone looks at your work and shows some appreciation towards it but if you cannot get satisfaction from it on your own, you will never be happy with your work. sometimes when that inkling of doing something different comes to you, you got to just do it. there is a reason why it came to you. On a side note, gear lust is great to help get you to try new things creatively. always working with an slr and then one day start using a tlr will force you to think differently on the basics. how to compose from waistlevel, how to frame to get the most out of square format etc..
I completely agree. We do tend to think about it backward. We search for the affirmation first and then mold everything around that. But if we just set the mold in the first place, the people that gravitate toward the work will share their thoughts without us having to force it. Granted we are still being intentional on sharing in the first place. Thanks for sharing, brotha!
I don't worry about what people think of my work on Instagram, but I solved the problem of shooting film & digital there. I have three IG feeds: one for digital, one for 35mm analog & one for medium & large format analog. I'm always taking more than one camera with me when I go out. I take a digital with prime lenses and either a 35mm with prime lenses or a medium format with prime lenses. I use prime lenses to constrain my shooting rather than the camera. Also, I can shoot my SLR lenses on my digital bodies so I can open up my constraints by crossing lenses with bodies. The main thing is to shoot what you feel like shooting with rather than thinking there's only one way or one thing to shoot. I know it's easy for me to say this since I've got a lot of equipment and many photographers don't. But I started out like everyone else. . . one camera (film) and one lens (50mm). Just keep shooting!
My real point is why do we feel like we need to separate our instagram feeds into different accounts based off of digital or film. Are they really that different of audiences that the format of creation warrants the separation. That’s what I’m questioning in this video. We start to think we are a different photographer based off of the different gear we use. This topic isn’t actually about gear at all, whether how much or how little we have, but more so about the things we link our creative identity to. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on that. Why do you separate your accounts? I would love to hear. Thanks for the input brotha! I always love seeing your thoughts here in the comments :)
I split mine up as an experiment. I started getting much more interaction when I did that. I only post a single image each week in each feed, but get many more comments and follows than I ever did with the single feed. I can't explain it. I'd love to know why though. It's an interesting phenomenon.
Yea, that is a strange phenomenon. I wonder if it has more to do with algorithm than peoples interests. Perhaps posting various styles and such doesn’t give instagram a solid foundation to know how to best promote your work. Who knows. It’s all guess work at this point I suppose. Do what works for you :)
I think there can be a really nice middle ground on this very topic. As you know I tend to shoot the M7 with a 35mm, but without it (out for servicing for way too long!) I've been stuck with the Nikon FA, first with 50mm then with a new 28mm. But the interesting thing is, I still tend to just use grab one of the primes when I go out. So while I'm making new work on black and white or sometimes colour, on 28mm or on 50mm, I'm confining that individual session or set of rolls to the singular vision. It's been really interesting to be able to jump to different tracks back and forth. That being said, I'm really dying to shoot the M7 and my all-time native 35mm!
I'm really looking forward to tonights TMT, but I might be late due to other commitments. A couple of things that sprung to mind that I wanted to share: Mike Williams did a project called 12 months 12 cameras in which he deliberately used creative constraints to tackle GAS. I think this shows how creative constraints can work, but like you've said, they can be harmful (both to yourself and the wider community). Then I completely relate with the seasonal thing. There's seasons for everything in life, and and so too should there be seasons in our creative practices. (Ecclesiastes 3).
It's an interesting topic because to develop your style, the more consistency you maintain in choice of gear / film the stronger your style, but I find I just use so many different processes and films my stuff always looks different 🤷🏻♂️ Look forward to the live stream Nick, see you there

Thank you for breaking the ice on this matter. Great TMT. Looking forward the dev sessions !
Hey thanks Jules! I appreciate it, and hope to see you on the livesteam if you are able to make it :)
Man!! MINDBLOWING THIS VIDEO! Thanks, thanks so much for this!
Haha, thanks again! I appreciate you taking the time to go through these, and leaving your thoughts!

Great words, Alberto! I appreciate your kind words. Sorry for the delay in response

Worrying about what others think is fatal.
100% agree. Unless the others is your wife, then its worth worrying over 😅

Great discussion on the creative topic. I’m happy to see you back making videos again. Can’t wait to see more. Hope you’re doing well. : )

I am glad you said this.
Donald Resner thank you so much. It’s something I’ve been wanting to address this one for a bit.
Yo shout out to the canon f1 got one a few months ago can’t stop using it has a broken meter so I use my head to meter but love a black camera
Perhaps call it "Twelve Minute Tuesday." :-)
I just watched yesterday's video a few hours ago and thought it was weird you uploaded again until I realized it IS tuesday. Why upload so early?
Brendon Wilson so that there will be time to do the livestream afterwards after many people saw the video probably
