Photography is arguably the most contradictory art form. It can be objective but also intensely emotional. It’s immediate but not really complete until it's been processed or edited. It claims to capture reality but in fact only captures a version of it. And caught at the center of this whirling identity crisis are two distinctly different mediums:
digital and analog.

The ability to shoot thousands of images on one card and shoot as much as you want without no direct costs can make it easy to overshoot, be carless and less thought going into each shot. Of most of those images only a few make the final cut and its very easy to overlook images in a sea of thousands.

Working with film requires a disciplined, considered approach. Decisions are being made without the camera, the image being crafted within the camera with the right settings before actually taking the picture. There is something a little more mindful and deliberate about film. The serendipity of a moment that cannot be erased and the separation of the editing process demands a more thoughtful method. Truly being present when it counts instead of checking the back of the camera to ensure settings are right.

The aesthetic of film photography is different to its digital sister. The unexpected color palette, the grain and dynamic range on offer all give personality and delicate nuance to the finished result. Film produces creamy whites and grain which channels memory and nostalgia that can be found in those carefully crafted Fine Art Images.
