Why I Shoot Film

FILM ALLOWS ME TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY, LESS TIME WITH MY EYES GLUED TO A COMPUTER SCREEN.

ONE: THE LOOK OF IT. Film has a distinctive look and feel – an incredible color palette and tangible softness. Film is where it’s at, visually. You may have tried to make your digital images look like film and failed – or just realized that the easiest way to get the look of film is to shoot film.

TWO: THE EASE OF IT. I have a full-time photography business that requires loads of travel. I also have a wife and six kids who would like to see more than my face staring at a computer screen every once in a while. Film allows me to shoot, develop, scan, tweak, and upload images to clients in a fraction of the time it takes to process the same number of images digitally. The majority of my finished images are straight from the camera, with only minor adjustments to make them sing.
