I love the aesthetic of film. I tried digital but I was spending so much time trying to get the settings right that it just wasn't fun for me. I find that I take more time with film and enjoy it it so much more.
I love that. Thanks so much for watching!
TH-cam recommended this video and I'm glad I've seen it. Such awesome story telling and your love for film and shots too.
I appreciate you bro. Welcome to the family!
Great to see your process! These images are gorgeous. Film really does give such a depth that’s hard to beat. 🌸✨
Thank you. You're absolutely right!
My dear you look amazing keep safe ✌
Loved the video. The editing was on point and it flowed well.
Although the film prices are increasing I'm trying not to stress too much on it. The act of shooting is so calming and enjoyable that it outweighs the price increases for me. I've been shooting digital as well but I find that I've only printed 1 digital photo and a hell of a lot more film photos. I think it's just that my film photos hold a lot more value to me in terms of the engagement I put to make them.
Thank you!
I agree with you. There's nothing like film. Especially when it comes to printing your work.
Keep in mind, everything has gone up, including the price of fuel to deliver a truckload of film. On par with inflation? I don’t know. I still have two rolls in the fridge, over 15 years old. Maybe I’ll shoot one this summer.
Great really great vid. Models were great also. I don’t know if she is a working model but, think she would do very well or as well as any of the top models if discovered. Film fade away? Might be hype but some are saying it is growing a little. I think some digital artist will gravitate to the film. Great photos! Loved the Kennedy paper prop.
Love this channel. Thank you for creating it.
This was such a great upload...love the images good sir! Keep killing it.
Thanks a lot !
I rocked with the video Mike! Awesome work that you should be extremely proud of!
📷📸🎞️
Thank you!
Mike 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 glad you back! Bomb video as usual 🔥🔥 very inspirational!!
Thanks Jessi!
Loved these images, Mike! The opening narration was beautiful.🧡😌👌🏽
Thanks so much, Caela. 🙏🏾
So much admiration for your work, it’s fully intention. 🙏🏽 Thank you for continuing to share a piece of yourself
I really appreciate that. Thank YOU for continuously supporting me 🙏🏾
Great work! Love it!
Thank you!
Missed your content, great video, amazing shots, dusted off my 67 and will be shooting some more film. Keep these coming, fabulous. 🎉
I appreciate you Steven!
Everything you do is top tier!
Your portraits are some of my favourite pieces of work of all time!
Thank you so much Jonny!
Amazing brother. This is beautiful!
thanks a lot bro.
What shall I say. I admire you and your talent. I love the minimalism that turns into complexity by itself. I truely love your work.
Thank you so much!
You're killing it! :)
Thank you!
Hands down, this brother is my top three photographers 👍🏾👍🏾May you continue to be blessed .
I appreciate that.
Mike, You are always an inspiration, that's what I love about your channel. Keep up the great work. I've been in the darkroom lately. Making prints from negatives I made from digital! I have not quit film though, at least because I probably have 3 years worth in my freezer!
I appreciate that!
Great video on so many levels. You are the real deal. Besides your beautiful images inspiring us, you are speaking for so many amateurs who love film but have been forced to stopped buying color film and to limit how much B&W we buy.
Thank you so much. We are here to inspire each other. That’s what it’s all about. 🙌🏾
You do awesome job, Mike!
I appreciate that!
Honestly, I wouldn't have started a channel if it weren't for film...I've been shooting a lot more digital lately but I'm still shooting a bunch of film. It's definitely sad to see so many people in the community switching to digital but it's totally understandable. Loved the photos man, well done!
100% Nuno. I'm right there with you. Thanks a lot!
Really surprised I’ve never seen your work before. I absolutely loved that intro, I can the feel the passion through your visuals. Keep inspiring my brother! 🤞🏾
Thanks a lot for watching bro 🙏🏾
Nice work Mike! You're a inspiration for many us in the film community.
I appreciate that John.
your channel always inspires me to shoot more film. Thank you for that
I really appreciate your support Marc
Your opening reminds me of "if you want peace, prepare for war" war means do something with effort and peace is the point where we made it
Indeed.
Love your content man. You and Tyler inspired me to shoot film, just recently got my first film camera and I can't put it down.
That’s so awesome man. I appreciate you.
Really nice work.
Thank you.
Film seems so timeless. Thank you for the inspiring videos
Thanks a lot Dave
LOWER THEM DAMN KODAK PRICES 🤬
Haha, smashed this one bro. Love how these images came out! Glad I could help out man. 👊🏿
haha I appreciate all of your help brother. It was so much fun. Until next time!!!! lol (which will be very soon).
this video made me feel things sheesh thanks for the video! 🤯😍
Thanks so much!
MIKE GRAY FOR PRESIDENT. 🔥 Top tier!
my guy. always been a fan bro! Next time i'm in Canada we gotta link!
@@MikeGrayFilm - Chill, chill lol... I'm the one fanning out. Proud to have you represent the community in the not-so-obvious way brother. You're a true legend and inspiration. May God bless your growth and may you prosper. My heart warms up when I see your growth and how you are in this space.
Keep pushing and growing. I'll be supporting you, everyone will be supporting you so better not stop sir!
About to enter the medium format film world with a Yashica 635 :D
I love to hear that
Glad your mini YT hiatus was productive. I set up some shoots this month and next month with some models here in Central Japan. Going to use the Pentax, Hasselblad and the Linhof Technika for them. And yes… film prices are crazy here too. Especially the 4x5 color film. I bought Portra 160 which was so expensive. I ended up getting half as much Portra and bought some FP4 and Provia 100F to cover what I needed. I do think this is the new normal and prices will only continue to rise in the future.
Sheeesh. I hope not
@@MikeGrayFilm I hope not too, but you know, we all said, “that’s it. Just this one time” when they first raised prices, what was it… a year and a half ago?
This video was sick man!!🔥
Thanks a lot!
Film price hikes are hurting the community, no lie
I pray over everything and manifest the work that will pay the kind of money that covers the financial cost altogether
Stay true to your mission, bruh...we still out here!
Thanks so much man
It's not just the price of film that hurts, it's the development and high quality lab scans that hurt.
If you buy film in bulk, roll it yourself, and pay the upfront cost to get a high quality optical scanner/flatbed/dslr/mirrorless scanning setup then you can offset the film cost and scan cost quite a bit. Alot of people don't have the space nowadays to setup a dark room.
Overall with a bit of upfront cost, and some dedication to the scanning workflow and bulk rolling you can basically cut your costs in half.
Nowadays I mostly shoot digital for my street and landscape stuff, it allows me so much freedom to experiment and create and learn so much faster and without the costs involved with film. However, when I've found a scene I really like, maybe an architectural or landscape shot, or I've figured out a particular technique or series I want to shot and I've figured out exactly how I want it to go, then I will often return to do a re-shoot on film.
Wonderful!
thanks!
It really has been a minute, hope you've been good. To answer your question, I have been trying to turn photography into my day to day job. I've chosen my niche and now I'm getting models to shoot, to build a portfolio.
I just want to leave my office job, man 😂 the sooner I can prove my worth, the better.
It's coming! You can do it.
Dope bro good to see you back a little lol
More to come! (hopefully) hhaha jkjk
I gotta clean my desk now...... spat my drink out at that 2 min mark LOL
hahahaha sorry bro! LOL
Jonathan Taylor has a doppelganger out here taking great photos!
Lmao
What a great video and let us film enthusiasts keep dreaming and inspire us to create with film.
Thanks so much Rachel.
I like your style and vibe shooting film! It’s joyful and inspirational! Lightful greetings from Mimmo Brandoni at Berlin
Thank you so much.
Phenomenal work!
Thank you
“What I love about being a creator is the control I have of my destiny”. Very well said.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Busy is a good thing, congratulations!
Thanks Eric!
Yeah man! Wtg
I sold my film cameras with my scanner and temp gage and I started digital again... BUT I did keep all my film and I bought a Kiev 6c that I've yet to shoot.
I'm holding on and not wanting to let film go either. 🎉
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
very nice video bro. I feel the same way about film. it stops me down and let me live the moment. I would appreciate if you could share with me the amount of photos you are taking on an easy portrait session with a person when you are shooting 120 film. thank you in advance. Keep the value content coming!
Usually around 3 rolls of 120!
Follow your passion and never give up on that, if it’s film then go with it…..it’s like comparing vinyl to cd… yes it costs more but hey just look at the pleasure factor… love your channel 👍
You're absolutely right Andrew. Thank you!
i be marathon wtching this channel like Netflix... It would be dope if Netflix actually did a series like this.
Great video as usual Mike, I’m shooting less film because of the price it’s become more of something I’ll use for a special project not on every project now.
Thanks Dom. I get that.
Wonderful shots Mike, enjoyed the video. I wonder if the new elephant in the room, AI, could possibly push more photographers into analog, or even increase the demand for pure analog work. I'm very curious to see how this plays out over time.
Indeed. Thanks for watching man!
amazing video with amazing storytelling ⭐️
do you mind if i ask what light that is ?
Thanks so much. Arri 650w
definitely need those film prices to decrease! film also introduced me to so many more new people/friends who have a current impact on my life.
also shoutout when i saw you and said hi at samy's camera! i think you were carrying some seamless backdrops?
I remember you bro. It was nice seeing you! I agree with you though, all day.
Is Gee (model) single..? Sheesh.. Beautiful and her smile was proper. Bring her to Toronto for TIFF this year lol 😍.. Nice video Mike Gray!!
Thanks a lot! haha
Good video man! I love shooting film as it helps me slow down and take my damn time as you mentioned. Shooting digital I tend to just spray that mf and come back with 400 photos in a hour a shoot lol. Just the cost of film keeps me away from it at times unfortunately.
I appreciate it Jordan
Love the channel and work bro. Question, why type of light are you using for these? Since the Pentax syncs slow 1/30 just curious!
Thanks bro! For this I used a constant tungsten light. You only have to shoot at 1/30 with strobes if you don’t have a leaf shutter lens.
Everybody needs to tell a friend or family member about this channel. More subs = more sponsors/revenue = more videos. Win, win.
Indeed Stew!
Mike for president
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That boy is Picasso with the camera 🎥 🎨
My dawg. Thank you.
Man I'll tell you why you choose film, because you're absolutely killing it!
Thanks Sherry!
Man, that intro was beautiful. Long live film!
I appreciate you bro.
"The shit comes and goes, no do-overs." YES MIKE
Just trying to be as honest as i can!
@@MikeGrayFilm Sums up the love for film so well
Interesting that here in the UK that the Ilford prices have remained reasonable whereas Kodak, and by extension the rebranded Kodak films (Lomography for example), prices are heading north at an alarming rate. It will not put me off shooting colour, afterall, the large and medium format film aesthetic cannot be matched. Not to mention the fun of the process.
I just hope that these price increases do not put off those looking to get into film. It is interesting to see that the price of film cameras, particularly medium and large format, seems to be returning to 'normal' after the pandemic price spike.
I agree! It can't be matched.
Rollin’ with the punches Bro. Get knocked down 6 times Stand up 7. That’s the only rule to winning out there.
Well put 👌🏾
What lens was used?
Yeah fully agree film forever. Nice video
Thank you.
Film is a beautiful art. Keep it going. I’m a film shooting myself.
I love that.
Pentax is said to be making film cameras again. Pentax is in a good place if they play their cards right. Keep the K-Mount just the way it is. So they can still make DSLR and they can make a SLT camera like the Sony A-Mount cameras or a mirrorless with the K-Mount and they can make a SLR camera. The best part all your lens work on any of these bodies.
Facts!
Another great video. Thanks Mike. I prefer to shoot film but I also shoot digital. On a note of constructive criticism , some of the pictures have harsh shadows which I find distracting. Maybe use an additional light?
Thanks for that. Some shots I enjoy the harshness of the shadows but you're right. Definitely going to grab a second light to eliminate some of that in the future. :)
@@MikeGrayFilm I'm not suggesting you eliminate the shadows entirely. Just soften them a bit.
Hahaha, I agree that film prices are going out of hand, in my country a roll of gold 200 in 35mm is about $10 USD.
Sheesh.
Babe wake up new Mike Gray dropped
Let’s go!
I'm back into shooting film now, but it's funny when I think back on how I switched to digital in 2007 because I was tired of paying $5 for a roll of nice slide film. I'd love me some $10 slide film now.
I here you on that!
Peter McKinnon quit digital and started going film, wait till he discovers you been doin this for long.
Mike my guy, I booked the same Pentax 67 just as you!
i love
Thank you.
Mike I'm surprised you never tried the Mitakon 65mm for the GFX system. It gives the same field of view and results to the Pentax 105mm f/2.4. It's like 99% the same look... You can watch Kyle McDougall's video on TH-cam titled "The Pentax 6x7 105 Look for GFX - Mitakon 65mm Review". Mike why do you not own/like the Pentax 105mm f/2.4?? It gives way more 3d results than your 90mm lens due to its nervous bokeh.
I will have to give it a go. 👌🏾
Love this!!!🔥🔥but no this prices need to go down because this is ridiculous 🙄😅
Yes they do!
🐐
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
i just brewed up a batch of d76 and will develop some film in the morning.
Lets go!!!!!
The color is great, but the B&W has the most emotion. (And cheeper too)
Thanks for the feedback Don!
Let me share with you... I've been shooting digital for 6 years. One workmate gave me his film camera cause he never used... bro I just got in love! What a EXPERIENCE shoot film. I still shoot digital (only cause of financial reasons) but I always try to get a film touch when I editing. Reason: Film is unique!
100%!
its strange to hear people that love photography say that if they shot digital they would stop taking pictures... it just makes no sense i understand the love for analog photography i myself am in love with it and wont stop but i wouldnt stop shooting if film was gone the shooting experience is still enjoyable to me on any format just the act of using any camera and taking a photo is a joy
True
Thinking of going back to using candles as opposed to electricity, feels more original
Nice!
👍
What do you scan your photos with
The icon LA did these scans
I completely understand people don't like the price hikes, however, at the same time, Kodak is a company that is here to make a profit, and as a company, they should charge what the market can bear. Film has been in such overwhelmingly high demand, that up until the last couple months, it's been hard to find. Hopefully, the price will come down a little to bring some people that have left back, but at the same time, it's still pretty much flying off the shelves, so while some people have been priced out of shooting film, clearly not everybody has. Give it about 6 months and see where the prices are then.
True true. I hope so!
After shooting digital for about 4-5 years; Picking up my first film camera ended up showing me a whole new side of photography. I was able to take what I've learned and implement and reinvent how I shoot with film.
Loved this video, thank you Mike! One of the best photographers out there.
I really appreciate the kind words man. Thank you.
What do you record your videos on?
This was on a canon R5
Is that Portra really that fine of grain? Your photos are always soooooo smooth and clean looking..
It is Jennifer. That’s why I love it so much. I appreciate you!
I do think digital and film have their place. Digital is good to practice and get really good at your craft fast because its so dam cheap. But once you have those ninja skills start shooting on film. The reason why film in the long run is better is because negatives and slides exist in the real world.
When it comes to digital having digital files and dealing with hard drives and even uploading to the cloud won't last as long as film.
There is a photographer her on TH-cam he's in Florida he's a Sony shooter. I can't remember his name but he did not plug in one of his hard drives for over a year it was a SSD drive and the drive died when he tried to use it.
A little off topic. Nintendo Wii U last gen console a lot of those consoles are no longer working. The memory in those consoles if they are not plugged in for at least one year that memory goes bad. That kind of memory is called nano.
Old school consoles all the way up to Gameboy advanced use chips on a board they hold memory different any will out last all these newer consoles.
People are asking how long their Nintendo Switch consoles and games will last I'm hearing 20 or 30 years. Who knows might last longer.
Very true. I get that.
@Phillip Banes I heard of the Blu-Rays being really good I forgot about that.
But hard drivers and flash memory is a huge issue.
If you go the Blu-Ray route I would invest in a few Blu-Ray burners and keep a few old computers around.
Who knows what input devices computers will support or if they still will be making Blu-Ray drives by then.
i had a client specifically ask me to shoot with them because of the work they saw that i did on film, like hell im stopping now.
Let’s go!!!!
Lovely images… plus, re. film costs, I sold all digital gear and went back to film (35mm and 120) but the prices now are RIDICULOUS! To the point that, yet again, I’m having doubts. May move to BW only, despite the colour of film being the main attraction over digital, to me! Come on, Kodak, don’t throttle the golden goose. Or Portra.
Hopefully things change within the next year but it's not looking too good.
I shoot both digital and film. Digital allows me to be more loose with my practice, try different things, but I’m very fussy about the shots I take on film. Wind…Click…£$$£$££
I get that!
Name of studio?
"Pastel Studio in the Arts District with Skyline View"
Kodak prices are double the US price in Japan. 💰💰Fuji…can’t get it.
Indeed
Hilarious outburst lol
Lol
Does anyone’s Pentax 67 have a battery drain issue? It’s so annoying. I wish a company would make a modern day film camera that could be purchased new and had a manufacture’s warranty.
You and me both. It’s coming though.
Call it illogic, nostalgia, "Boomer", whatever.......the only non-(well-known) professional photography I watch on TH-cam, are film shooters. I love the cameras, the process, and the 'look' of film.
I love that 🙏🏾
I saw the KFC commercial….then I was watching Snowfall, and saw my boy! 😎👊🏾
haha i love that.
Thanks for all Gray ")
Thank YOU!
