Shout out to the women street photographers out there. I know there are so many amazing women street photographers making great work out there. Unfortunately, when I was out in ‘filming mode’ for this video, I wasn’t able to run into any women photographers who were willing to be on video - we’ll get more women photographers on the channel soon, stay tuned!

One of the ways I continue to be unaffected by the rising cost of film is I didn't feel the need to purchase a $3K camera because it has a red dot on the front! My $300 Nikon does everything that Leica does and then some. My fridge is stocked, my lab does excellent work, I also don't live in a place where rent is 80% of my paycheck either so there's that!

Andrew with the Contax raised the question I always had about film in street photography. If you’re doing landscape or architecture, being selective with your shots is fine. But with street photography, it seems you will inevitably miss some “decisive moments” if you’re mentally restricting yourself for cost reasons. Maybe there are some very confident street photographers who always know in 100% advance which shots will work out, but I think most take split-second gambles.
@kostyafedot551

I never shot two frames per street scene and often of any scene in particular moment. Rangefinders with framelines allowing this. But not taking plenty of shots and not going for the street often, it is nothing but showoff.

No way of restricting frames for an interesting scene will make you a good streetphotographer. If I were shooting film when I have to take couples of frames for a fxxking interesting scene and people, I would bite the bullet. Money comes and goes way much easier than a good photography chance.

Film really made me more selective and I could not imagine myself shooting multiple rolls every day I go out, I don't need to be shooting photos of everything when I'm not really connected to what is happening. I actually only shoot like 2 rolls a month now and I'm happy with what I get, and in comparation when I go out with a little digicam I have most of the photos I take with it I don't really care (still I like to use it in specific conditions, certain days, and I have shot like 2 or 3 really spontaneous photos in moments I decided not to have my film camera ready but it was just out of luck)

@@anta40Yes, I meant street photography in the sense of dynamic situations involving human subjects.

I shot film, mostly 35mm, from the 1980's until about 2002. After I got the first Canon Rebel digital DSLR I got away from film. I have dabbled in portable 4x5 photography (wanderlust 3d printed camera), but mostly stayed true to digital. I've gotten to the point where I get the results I want with digital and I'm hesitant to go back to film because I'm afraid that I will just screw up a bunch of pricey film. But I do love watching all of the NY city street photographers do their thing. It's very inspirational; so thanks for everything you all go through to make photos.

Super interesting to hear all of these different perspectives and reasons. I've missed shooting my M6 a lot this year, so much that I've sold my Monochrom, but I imagine I'll still shoot the SL2 for the majority. The cost isn't bad with developing and scanning at home, but like others mentioned, the time is the real cost for me. Just can't keep up, I'm still working through my 2022 backlog.

Sometimes developing film will frustrate the hell out of me. I don’t think I’ll change anytime soon besides shooting less. Would love to see newer developments taking place that makes working with film a lot easier.

One thing that has made me move from digital to film is photo archive, I’ve have film negatives I shot back 20+ years ago which i rescanned and very happy to have the photos still, As soon as digital come out I brought a Casio exlim all because of cost and ease of storing and seeing images instantly. But after years of shooting digital I don’t have that older digital archive because of hard drive failure and mishap deletions. So if you want to store you digital images safely be warned save the files in multiple drives and cloud locations, which also adds another cost to digital and the initial camera cost outlay. The cost of film has alway been expensive even in the late 90’s for me young and on a low wage. So I’m happy now to shoot film and develop and scan with my digital equipment. It’s fun but also requires space to develop which not everyone has.

I'm old enough to have been introduced to photography in the film only days (Pentax spotmatic). I discovered street photography through the Vivian Maier documentaries, and jumped back into photography on digital with Lumix, Fuji and now finally I shoot with a Sony full frame camera. I do enjoy focus marked manual M-mount wide angle lenses for zone focusing but I also lean heavily into the eye-AF prowess of my system (which can focus an f/1.4 lens faster and more accurately than I ever could). I can see plainly in this video that "the club" definitely worships film, and none of the reasons are compelling to me. The "look" of film is nothing that white balance and parametric EQ can't trivially reproduce (assuming I cared enough about a certain color temperature and EQ to consider a picture inferior without it - which I don't). The most compelling of the reasons is the intentional process slowing. I get that. That said, taking up the expense of film for that process benefit makes me wonder - couldn't I just slow down as a matter of discipline, and pocket the savings? I think so. I have slown down over the years. I used to shoot 500 shots a day and these days I shoot more like 50, but later that night - on a good day - I might keep 5-10 shots, and simply delete the rest. Cost: $0 and the same time if not less time than others spend chasing the film dragons. @thiefofpresence

For me it’s just a hobby for pleasure, being 58 I’m a bit of a relic. I was young when 60s and 70s cameras were new, so I can remember those around me using them every day. Watching them go through the process of light meter, shutter speed and aperture moving around for the best aspect held a certain sort of wonder and magic for me. Those things left an indelible imprint on my memory. All those like, Ansel Adams, Steve Mc Curry, Vivian Maier, Henri Cartier-Bresson, they all used film. I think Film has a parallel with vintage cars, and wooden boats, it’s all about the history and the experience of the feeling of living in the past, it’s the only way you can have the sense of experiencing what they did. Cost wise it’s like throwing money down the drain, but using them gives you an experience that is priceless. I have a Spotmatic, it was once described as the Volkswagen of cameras, a design icon affordable to the masses, I have a love of vintage VWs owning a 56 oval, so the Spotmatic was an easy choice. Own them love them and enjoy them at will, they are history that you can use.

I hate it when people use a camera as a reason to slow down. Surly it doesn't matter what's in your hand - it's your approach. Basically what you're saying is that you overshoot on your digital and you don't on film. The reality on film is that you simply have less space to fill so you think more about your picture, rather than overshooting on digital.

I'm from France. After my last trip to New York in september 2019, I started to shoot way less than I used to because it was harder to justify the cost when it's just a hobby. It cost me around 300€ to buy, process and scan 11 Portra rolls. Adding the time spent to properly scan my edit from those 11 rolls (as lab scan are only like proof prints to me if that makes sense). 2020 I only shots 9 rolls (3x TriX, 6x Portra). In march 2021 I bought a X100v for a trip in Greece later that year and I started shooting a lot again. Now I have a X-T4 in addition and digital is the only way I shot since I bought the X100v. I'll keep my M6 and be buried with it but I really can't justify the cost now.

I used to shoot with my Pentax MV thinking what I was doing was cool. To me there is mostly the nostalgic value. It's as cool as watching VHS movies and rewinding the cassettes in 2023. Sure it does slow you down and makes you think more about what you shoot, but nobody is forcing you to shoot more then 50 photos a day with a digital.

I started developing and scanning at home to combat this. Sure it's a bit of an initial investment but once you get that out of the way, the equipment is yours and it eventually pays for itself in saving lab costs. The entire process isn't that difficult either and I really appreciate the workflow. Not to mention, you can shoot a roll and develop it same day instead of waiting a week+ for the lab to turn that around. The final nail for me to develop at home was actually USPS loosing my film not once, but twice.

I shot with film from the 80s until around 2007 when I switched to digital. I swore I would never go back. I recently sent several of my analogue cameras to get tuned up because I missed the whole tactile process of film photography (waiting for results, handling negs, printing, etc.). So, I've since shot with a few rolls, which was an interesting experience, but the cost of the rolls, the processing (now I need to have the images scanned), has made me rethink whether or not I want to continue in that direction. Digital is so immediate. After watching this video (which was excellent by the way!) it was interesting to hear other photographer's experiences. The anticipated increase in the price of film is very disappointing because I think I would have bit the bullet otherwise. Great content and food for thought, as always Paulie!

Really love the quality and depth the images have with the latest sensor; it helps me feel like I’m not missing out when I’m shooting digital, even though the experience of shooting the Leica is way more fun. I’d rather have the photo than not, at the end of the day, and the medium is only part of the whole picture (pun intended).

I grew up shooting film, mainly B&W, which I printed myself. However, since the arrival of digital, I personally don't see the need for film. With all the software available these days, the end results produced are as good as any film can deliver (IMO). I think film photography is a bit like owing a classic car; it's expensive, needs more T & C and it's slow. One for the diehard traditionalists (which by the way I think is great)

I’m using film as long as I can afford it. Another issue is the cost of developing, which is also becoming more costly and harder to find supplies.

Eventually, we won’t have enough resources available to even make film so we’ll have to make due with what we have.

Thanks Paulie another gem. Not as clear cut as I thought it would be (assumed more would be going digital). I’ve just gone the other way (100% to film), because I stopped being a working photographer (it was my second career and I hated the studio work that paid the bills). Digital just isn’t something I enjoy shooting when I’m shooting for me. And I’ve tried everything: Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, Leica. I just don’t get the joy from digital that I do with film. Were I still working it’d be different of course. So I went back to film a couple of months ago, and it really relit my fire. Could. Not. Get. Enough. But I also couldn’t afford to shoot as much as I wanted to. So I got a Fuji and thought it’d be ok because I was enjoying photography again; the medium wouldn’t matter. But that lack of constraint, the paralysis I get with too much choice, quickly killed it for me. Shot a couple of thousand frames in a month and a bit and don’t remember or like any of them. So I sold it and I’m back to film again. I’m way more a doc photog than I am street so I don’t have the tempo a street photographer would have, but I’m happy to take the hit because I LOVE that physical, tangible process that imposes so many constraints. And as a ratio of frames shot, I get way more keepers with film than with digital so it makes some kind of sense.

Luckily though I work at a Fujifilm UK so get to print and scan my own work. I just hope Kodak keep going as Portra and Kodak Gold are my go to film stocks. Prices here are about £23.00 a roll. I can get it for £9.00 a roll. I used to shoot weddings on film back in the day. Love your channel.

Great video' keep the good work. I shot film over 40 years. When the digital camera just came out I didn't like / use them, something was missing in the experience. I bout my first digital 3 month ago, Fuji XT30-II. I like the simulation and I like the results. I still shot film, B&W, but getting into the the digital world make me more free with just shutting around and have fun. Film is not going away for me but I'm open more to digital.

I've been almost fully analog for years, and luckily I still have a freezer full of color film. I'll admit that it's a bit expired, but it still works so I'll be doing color until I run out. Then, I'll most probably go back to B&W, though I recently got an old digital Olympus Pen for which I have batteries in the mail. So we'll see. Last time I was at the camera store and I saw the price of Portra, I must admit that I almost cried.

Best recommendation to everyone thinking of buying Ricoh Gr. Don’t buy it! You could just as well use a iPhone. If you want a pocket type of camera with great colors and depth go for the Leica CL/TL2 with the TL 18mm or TL 23mm or adapt your analog lens to it.

It's a really sad situation and it sucks that people that really want to shoot colour are feeling like they're either forced to swap to black and white or switch over to digital. There's clearly a demand for film, so why can't someone produce a cheap colour film and cheaper development techniques? Surely we have the technology.
@Yolligraphone
@Yolligraphone 9 месяцев назад
It's much harder to make color film than black and white. It's extremely expensive and requires specialized equipment and chemicals that are difficult to source. There's a reason Kodak has been making the vast majority of the world's color film for the better part of the last century. They have all the equipment, can source the materials, and have had time to refine and perfect their processes.

Because it's outdated and niche and dominated by 1 company. Anyone with resources to do that would probably be spending that money on making better digital photos if they want to make money in the photo space.

Grew up developing and printing b&w at home in the 70’s and 80’s. Bulk film loader, changing bag, process film at home. Darkroom in my grandfather’s basement. Still shoot the occasional roll of XP2, and tempted to snag a bulk roll of b&w and scan the negs. But in the end if you want to shoot film there is no substitute. Financial reality is you might need to shoot less, or eat even more pasta meals. Peace. Love the channel.

I have two digital systems: Canon R5 and Fuji GFX 100. I have a couple 35mm film cameras: Samurai Half Frame and a Canon A2e that is the same mount for my R5 lenses (ef with an adapter). Just recently bought a Hasselblad H4x with two backs and 80mm lens. The Hassy has revitalized my love for shooting again. Every camera is a tool and has a purpose in my eyes and what I needed was an experience with the Hassy.

I started scanning my own film a couple of months ago and recently started developing my own film. i'm lucky i have space in my basement where i can develop and scan so its not an issue for me so technically i'm shooting more than i ever have. I mostly shoot black and white film so in terms of price i'm not really affected by it because price for black and white hasn't gone up much recently. When i shoot colour i shoot mostly expired film or film i get for cheap on fb marketplace so yeah. More life to film!
@mynewcolour
@mynewcolour 10 месяцев назад
I shoot bulk rolled 35mm black n white and process at home (rodinal one shot or Xtol replenished). Finding time to scan isn’t always easy but the cost is not much. £3 a roll plus £1 to develop and plenty of creative control.

To your point at the end it’s the opposite for me on a typical slow day. I’ll warm up on digital then switch to film. That mainly has to do with location otherwise it’s be film. But for me I’m just finding balance and pace I’ll always love and shoot film. If prices get to nutty black and white film will be my default

You play to the strength of each: digital for color, film for that special B&W project. You still can't beat the look of B&W film, self developing helps cut cost.

even that’s subjective. For me, personally, I like the look of color film and black and white way more than digital. But some people are great at editing their digital files to look good
@stanb.5261
@stanb.5261 10 месяцев назад
@@PaulieB Of course, just offering a... "logical" solution. Digital color is just: way cheaper, considerably more malleable for a variety of looks and oh so more convenient for a wider gamut of lighting scenarios. Conversely, B&W digital files require considerably more technical finesse to even approach the inherent beauty of analog tonal values.

I love shooting hybrid tbh, as long as you can transfer the method and process from film to digital (not easy but possible). I still shoot mostly analog but there are certain things I can do better on digital which after post will look indistinguishable results wise. But in the end the analog experience of shooting is still more fun for me, even if the results are similar.

In Los Angeles, it's hard to get into, and stay into the "Flow" I start off with my Ricoh GRiii - to get me into my groove, and then switch to Film, and start snapping away. Once I run out of "runway", or start to feel myself falling out of the Zone - I switch back to the Ricoh It's like... THE Ricoh is my Pick up Game, to keep me in shape and on point. But Film... That's the Pro Game I play week in, and week out

A really interesting video on a really relevant topic. It struck me though while watching it - I always thought street photography was a bit of a lone wolf type pursuit, attracting less attention by working quietly alone. I noticed that you interviewed a number of photographers in small groups. In NYC is it more of a social get together type thing, or just for brief parts of the day. Seems like there is a real community of photographers there. Thanks for the video.

i've watched tons of his walkie talkie and it seems like they get together throughout the day, and there are certain corners that are like the favourites for street photographers so it seems like you'll run into eachother in the general area,. thats just what i've noticed, i don't live there just watched all this guys videos. i agree though i think its more a lone wolf thing, but meetups throughout the day for the hang.

Coming up on a year of shooting street photography and have only done digital so far with the exception of polaroids. Film has always been interesting and I love the look of the photos that film produces. But over time I've come to realize that the sort of minute details of how a photo looks has nothing to do with what makes a photo memorable for me. I think because my background is in engineering, I highly value the freedom that digital photography allows for when shooting (especially when experimenting with different settings) and I think with film I'd spend waaaaaay too much time and energy thinking about whether the photo I'm about to take is "worth it."

I still use film as the initial price of the camera is a lot less, so you don't have to worry about it as much. You can pick up a fairly decent camera with some nice old soviet lens for around £300, as long as you dont mind going fully manual. I feel a lot more comfortable bringing that style of camera to a festival/ event where it might get messed up or stolen, than I do a £1k+ digital equivalent

I loved shooting film and toyed with going back during the pandemic...but I can't bring myself to do it. I went the way of "vintage digital" (Olympus E-500) as well as my favorite, the Panasonic GX85.

I started with film back in 1980, shot Canon AE-1 until all my gear was stolen in 1999. I tried some of the early PS digital cameras until I jumped into a Nikon D90 and I moved through many Nikon digital bodies, today a lot of my work is Sports Photography and my main bodies are D5 and D500, for studio and landscape I have a D3x. That being said, about 8 years ago I went back to shooting and developing film. I don't know if I would stop shooting film, for me it is the hands-on process of film that keeps me hooked. I have 6 or 7 Nikon SLRs, A Mamiya 645Pro TL and my favourite camera is my Pentax 6x7. I have a freezer full of film, 35mm and 120 and will keep re-stocking. I am not happy about the price increases but that won't stop me from shooting and developing film.

In my time (40+ years ago) we used to buy film role in bigger package. Single plastic box with continuous role of 3 or 5 36 frames in one piece. Biggest packing was 30 meters long if remember well. Film need to be cut it in dark and wind on empty film boxes in order to use. It was easy to find end and start of each role in the dark since tape was narrowed already at right place. Part which will stay outside the box as starting lenght. But definitely it was much cheaper then fully packed single 36-frames role. Not all film types or brands were available in this option.

I was a part time wedding and portrait photographer from the late 1980s to early 2000s and I primarily shot Fuji NPS 160 (studio) and Fuji NPH 400 (wedding) then switched to Portra 160 and 400 when they came out. I started shooting digital with Nikons in the early 2000s. When I was shooting film a 220 Pro Pack was somewhere around $42-$46. Now a 120 Pro Pack is what $70 + ?? I took about a 15 year break from photography, recently traded all my medium format film gear for digital. Retired from my real job four years ago and now do photography because I love to do it. I hope those that want to continue to shoot film will have the means to do it and can continue to do it for as long as they want. If I ever wanted to shoot film again it would be on a special, limited basis. There's no way I could afford to do street photography with film only.

I haven't shot film for quite awhile, maybe 2003, but even after the sticker price shot, I'm going to dip my toe in the developer again and use film occasionally for black & white shots. When I ditched my film gear it was all Nikon, but my first love was the Minolta SRT-101 followed by their XK, then down the road X-700. So I'm acquiring equipment slowly and try to buy a roll or two of film each week to stock pile should prices go any higher (and more than a couple rolls if I find them on sale). I hope the price of film drops as more people start using it again, or for the first time.

More people should have a film and digital work flow. Sometimes it takes me months to finish a roll, when I want to go slow, I pick up my film camera and when I just want to take a lot of photos I use my digital. Using both really allows for the creativity to flow. Don't pigeon hole yourself, do what makes you happy and enjoy the process.
