We have been talking to Joan Michel for a while and it had been amazing to see how her her work has developed during that time. She is very open in this #MyFilmStory video about how analogue film photography helps her cope with social anxiety and it is a sentiment that we have heard echoed by others. We really enjoyed this peak into her world and hope that you do too.
Well done to everyone involved in this video. Joan is such an inspiring person, her perseverance and creativity do stand out in whatever medium she chooses. Well done to Ilford for casting a light on her work. "Being a female photographer and a person of colour has never stopped me from sharing my photographs", endlessly inspiring.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Joan is an inspiring women and i've picked up something new every time i have watched this video. Her quote at 3:28 'People all have stories to tell, we just have to have the courage to reach out and document them.' really resonates with me.
Yeeees, I have been waiting for this! You go girl! Joan, you are truly inspiring, one can feel the passion and honesty behind everything you are doing, this here being no exception. Please keep on making this RU-vid world a more creative place ⚡️
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Vivian. We really enjoy Joand work too. Please make sure that you check out some of the other #MyFilmStory videos too.😀
@@d_jacks I love that anticipation of waiting to see what's on a roll. Whether you've developed it yourself if sent it to a lab. It never goes away! If it's our film then please share some images and use our #'s on IG. #ilfordphoto #ilfordhp5 etc
Thanks for watching. I love how this series give us an insight into how other film photographers work. Do you shoot a lot of black and white film yourself?
@@Ilfordphoto Oh, I have been getting into Black and White - mostly Polaroid and Ilford! I’ve shot a decent amount of rolls, I’m just wondering whether I should develop at a Lab or give it a try myself - the initial development costs are a bit of a turn off (though I want to try stuff like Caffenol)
@@AeromaticXD I'd definitely recommend giving it a try yourself. Start off simply (we have a ILFORD x Paterson kit that has everything you need to get started) and then once you're comfortable try some more experimental film developing techniques. The film community is fantastic with so many people happy to help and offer advice.
