THIS PHOTOGRAPHY VIDEO: Since the beginning of this century, film cameras, like the Walkman, have largely been relegated to the museum of obsolete technology. There are pockets of photographers who are still keen on keeping the analogue process alive, but like vinyl records, it’s become a niche hobby. For much of last century, film companies, and especially Kodak ruled the photographic space. In 1976, Kodak owned 95 percent of the film market and 85 percent of the camera market. Other producers like Illford, agfa and fuji had to fight incredibly hard to find their place and to carve out specialist markets. Trying to explain the benefits of film over digital to children these days is really challenging -

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.

New films and new cameras are coming. I would not call it dead. Considering there's a record store in the largest shopping mall in my city, it's not dead either.

Michael Kenna will always get to the nub! Like many photographers, I've been on a film-digital-film journey, but after a few years out of photography I've been amazed by film's recent resurgence - particularly among younger enthusiasts. I'm heartened that whatever the motivation (fashion, nostalgia, creative direction or deliberate, thoughtful intent), people are returning to a tangible, low-tech solution. For all the absolute, undoubted benefits of digital, there is something about it that for me impedes the creative process.

i think you are confusing a chemical and analogue process with one that is low tech. nothing low tech about film. just not digital. otherwise i agree with your sentiment.

Graeme, I love your channel and think it's a real breath of fresh air when compared to the usual gear-oriented photography channels on RU-vid. However, I think you may be selling film short when you call it 'obsolete'. In fact the use of film has been growing steadily over the last few years, to the point where large manufacturers like Ilford have invested in and released brand new film stocks. Just a week ago Ilford/Harman introduced a new ISO200 color negative film. Leica re-introduced the M6 last year and it has been selling well. Pentax is working on a new film camera. Of course film is no longer the go-to medium for professional photojournalists, but many fine art photographers - professional and amateur - still choose it for their work. It's unfortunate that the availability of film labs in South Africa is poor,. However, home developing film is easy, inexpensive, can be done without a darkroom, and gives you the ultimate control over your results, so a lab isn't really required. Pull out an old film camera and a roll of B&W film and give it another shot. You might enjoy it again!

Hi Andrew I was expecting some push-back, and maybe 'obsolete' was going too far. Perhaps I have been operating in a bubble of the digital world and I am only learning now what a big comeback film has made. Thanks for setting me straight.

Coming from only film, going digital, and now half digital/half film, I'm always arguing with myself to give-up film. But, I can't. I love my old cameras and the visual aesthetic of photograph shot with film. I'll shoot a couple uninspired rolls and tell myself, that's it. No more. Then a week or two later, I'm loading a roll of film again. This nonsense has been going on for a few years. I should just accept it at this point. :-)

While I just bought a new digital camera, I still shoot mostly film. I develop my own b&w and colour, then scan the negs into a digital image. I just love the process. However, the colour available on the new M11 is insanely good..

There is something about the tactile nature of the process that is still appealing.

Hello Graeme I've started to develope my own black&white film a few month ago, and i love the "pressure" if I used the correct exposure, and if everything goes well in the developing. I'm so happy to get some fine images. It's so much more rewarding. But still use my Digital for speedy work. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

I don't carry a film camera all of the time. I tend to carry one when I 'intend' to take a photo. I use a digital for street photography, as I can then just shoot on continuous. I use my phone for everyday colour shots. If anything its my digital camera that now gets the least usage. Its heavy and inconvenient in comparison to film or phone.

I spend too much time in the darkroom during my University Years. I kept 3 MF Cameras but the cost to develop the film/slides is costly today. The way forward is to use the old lenses on a Fiji GFX camera using adapters. Still need a 50mmF4 to my old HB 503CW. My favorite camera is the Fuji GW690III and It cannot use a digital back. So I have to use film/slides

I think living in South Africa is extremely restrictive when it comes to film - there are only labs in the two or three major cities.

@@PhotoConversations Developing film at home is very easy, inexpensive and can be done without a darkroom. The best part is you have complete control over your results. Skip the film lab and DIY it.

I love the look of film. But, why would I go back to the pain and $$$ to shoot it again? I can emulate it with photoshop and if you shopot film you have to digitize it anyway to process the image for the modern world. I shoot 1000+ images a month many times for street and landscapes and night (Which film cannot do even close to digital)-that takes a lot of time, adding the huge cost and time sink to do that with film would be ridiculous, to say the least.
