Does film matter. Yes, it kind of does. Especially now and here is why.
For digital, download my free film presets and see why film impacts digital edits so much. And for more magic that you learn from film and tone, come to my next FREE Shadow hackers class.
It’s just a fad….
They have been saying that for a decade now. But as a Master Photographer, I know that when I shoot film I still get better at photography.
Yes, I do shoot film a lot to improve Filmist presets. That’s why they’re amazing. But that’s not the topic of this video. I’m going to show you a bunch of film photos and cameras and explain…
It improves your digital.
Film is cool, but most don’t realize that using film helps ground you in tone and emotion. Tools like I made like Pictorialist and Silver are heavily;y influences by it. One reason they are so good, is because I study film constantly.
But Film is boring…
If something does not inspire you, maybe it’s not for you. But most serious photographers will get the film bug. Because once you feel the magic that it has to impart, it’s hard to walk away.
Just like film looks on digital improve you editing, shooting real film now and then is a pretty small investment in your skills. Look at the film photos in this video. Even on a screen, there’s something more to them that’s hard to explain but that you can feel.
