😂 Classic!
Trying more of a podcast/interview format. Enjoy!
Wow! That was fun. Great to see both of you on the video.
Haha thank you - we have a few more videos like this coming up with some great creative guests
Superb. Loving the channel chaps. Great stories, great advice, top photos!
Thanks fellas ! That was great !
Really enjoyed it. Complimentary to the other videos. And thanks for answering my question! Appreciate it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Was fun to record it with Harry.. Much more casual!
Thanks, I enjoyed that. I could easily have watched another 40 minutes of interview.
thanks a lot!
@@fredandharryborden It's really good. Harry is a natural born raconteur and it was nice to see Fred bring a pleasant, calm energy as interviewer. I also liked the mention of Jane Bown. I really admire her work.
Great stuff guys and thanks for answering my question :)
Any time! Thanks for watching!
I find these videos incredibly nostalgic. For a short period of time, 1995-2005, I shot similar subjects. Definitely not to your standard! I was based in Dublin and would shoot actors and musicians when they were on the circuit promoting something. The routine of arriving early, dealing with PRs, available light/flash. 120/35mm, E6 or C41. These videos bring it all back
Very good 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
That was excellent, thanks very much Fred & Harry. I find this channel completely fascinating. Harry is so talented and yet so modest. I have a question for next time - which I guess could even be a video in itself - and it's this: How on earth do you manage your archive? A huge part of being a photographer is, I imagine, dealing with hundreds of thousands of negatives, prints and digital images. How do you even know what you've got, or when it was taken, and how do you locate images quickly, maintain a backup system, preserve hard copies & negatives etc etc. And what will become of it all when you're no longer around...?
Thanks for the comment! It is true there are thousands of negatives, we mentioned this briefly in our video about 5 tips for photographers but definitely could revisit in the future for sure.
Thanks again!
loving these videos, thanks
Belter. Top work lads
Much appreciated, thank you!
Thanks Chrissie, I should have given you a mention! X
Liking the new format.
Glad you enjoyed thanks!
Just missed your question as we had already filmed it! I also saw a comment I think from you about someone Harry worked with at IPG.. I cant find the comment now. I spoke to him briefly about it we wondered who it was!
@@fredandharryborden No worries, I think someone else asked the same question and Harry answered it. Your knowledge of Harry's work also contributed nicely to the discussion. Cheers, D.
if the answer to if you still shoot analogue is no, which digital brand do you use ? hasselblad or fuji gfx ?
I will ask Harry and get back to you!
@@fredandharryborden thank you
@12:50 are you referring to Tim House studio?
I would like to see a conversation between Harry and Scott- both successful British photographers in different niches.
It was his video I was referring to! I think they follow eachother on instagram maybe I will get Harry to shoot him a message. Thanks for the comment!
@@fredandharryborden ah I knew it- he’s mentioned it a few times.
Keep up the good work though guys, I’ve been binging your videos so keep em coming 👍
Great video and fantastic channel! Do you shoot digital mainly now? And what digital gear do you use? Thank you for the fantastic content! /David from Sweden
He does shoot mainly digital now. He has a few digital cameras which I can find out what if you want. However, he often emphasises its not the gear that matters. As he says in the video: "the best camera is the one in your hand!"
Thanks for the lovely comment!
@@fredandharryborden it would be interesting to know even though that isn't the main focus :)
@@DavidNordlund I started digital with Canon. A 1ds Mk2 and then the various 5Ds. After that I switched to a medium format Fuji GFX 50 (because of the larger sensor). We film the video on a Sony mirrorless Alpha 7 which I really like for stills as well. 👍Enjoy your photography!
@@harryborden6077 thank you :)
Film will never die 😂
I love film still for sure
