Analogue V Digital

read the full interview and see what your opinions are on the matter.

I must agree with some of the comments in the interview, like how shooting analogue giving you less shots so you take your time to think about lighting and composition, with digital you shoot then look at the screen and decide what needs changing with the photo. Maybe it’s down to a modern day society that expects everything now; being able to shoot photos on your phone or DSLR and edit them on the go allows this quick process that everyone can handle. Analogue may not fit into how people or consumers lead their lives anymore, but to a photographer who wants to explore his practice and idea’s film will hopefully always be an option.

I think having training in analogue photography certainly throws your view over to how much thought provoking and cared for analogue photography is, especially when you have the facilities available to you like darkrooms and processing machines. But from my own personal experience leaving college where I had a colour and black and white darkroom to use and going on my gap year having little money I went back to using mainly digital again. So a lot of my portfolio is digital based, and I don’t think the photos would look that much different if I had shot them on film, I believe you should use what is readily available to you at the time weather it be a 35mm camera you got from a car boot or a DSLR worth over a grand as long as you can make work and show what you are capable of.
