Digital Vs Film

  /  
February 11, 2012

I love my digital camera don’t get me wrong but lately I haven’t been picking it up for fun anymore. The thought of editing more photos and being behind my computer doesn’t sound so glamourous. Plus, it seems most of my favorite photographers shoot film. The past few weeks I’ve been experimenting with various film stocks and lighting. I think its making me a better photographer. I find myself carefully considering every frame and have more of a vision before I shoot.

The first 7 rows are all digital and then I start sharing the film version. Some are very similar but I find the film ones have a very soft and dreamy feel that I love.  The best part about film is sending it to a lab and actually having to wait a week or so for the results. It feels like christmas every time!

Below is all film. I love how soft the colors are.

Hi Jennifer! What a beautiful photo session! I too love the look and feel of film photography. What camera did you use for these beautiful pics? I’m looking to get a mamiya 645 but not too sure just yet.
Hope to hear from you, thanks!

Hi Carmen,
I was using a contax 645. I have friends that use the mamiya and they have wonderful results as well. Hope you enjoy your new filmy adventure!
