Try large format! My hot take is that the "film slows me down" argument is only truly valid when shooting large format. The shooting experience is so fundamentally different from all other (commonly used) types of cameras, that it almost feels like a different discipline altogether. So if your goal is to broaden your practice and shift (and/or tilt, haha) your perspective on the medium, large format is the best way to achieve that imo. Plus, if you can get those sponsors on board again, you can experiment without having to deal with the eye-watering costs associated with large format 😉 Been loving your stuff on instagram for a while! These extended videos on youtube are just as good. Much love from Berlin.
You're absolutely right... I started shooting pro in 1985... I shot for newspapers... meaning, shoot something... run home, process the film, dry the film, make a contact sheet... pick pictures and then make prints... and all this in your wet darkroom that is set up and ready to go all the time... when digital happened, I decided to keep shooting film... and do digital as the industry demanded... good times.

Lovely captures! Film photography always has new surprises and lessons. Nice to see what others are doing to find some inspiration.

This is a great video! Thanks for giving some love to film photography after all these years! 📸
ngl, I keep thinking about black & white film ⚫️⚪️📷⚪️⚫️
Film, a lot of work and expensive. You have to want to do it for it to be worth it.
Having said this, there's nothing like a beautiful silver halide print made from a b&w film negative. Unparalleled
