FINE ART FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
FINE ART FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
Is there a place for Film Photography today?
8 |
In the wake of the great paradigm shift from analog to digital imaging, most experts proclaimed that film was doomed; that it would decline steadily to the point that silver-halide film would no longer be commercially viable. Countless film shooters switched to digital, and as film sales plummeted, many films were discontinued, and the future looked bleak. However, reports of the death of film have been greatly exaggerated. According to reliable estimates, sales figures for black-and-white film have been increasing by roughly 5% per year over the last few years, and film photography is experiencing a genuine renaissance. Sales (and prices) of new and used analog cameras, as well as processing, scanning, and printing services, have all been on the upswing over the last couple of years. And while film will never again be the dominant medium, analog photography is likely to continue as a robust niche for the foreseeable future. And why is that?

There are many reasons to shoot on film rather than (or in addition to) digital: it provides a direct connection to the great images of the past; it requires more hands-on involvement and forethought than digital photography; it produces a physical end product rather than an image file stored on a hard drive or a memory card; and above all, film has a special character and distinctive look and feel - that beautiful grainy texture and color palette that can be simulated, but never quite duplicated, using digital film-emulation apps. Film photography is not dead. Far from it. And here are some images to prove that.
