What if I just shoot film? 

Yes yessss. This was so fun to work on ♥️

Great job guys. As a 30 year veteran photographer I can tell you that shooting film teaches you so much more than shooting digital. I shoot digital for clients but much of my persona work is film. Keep up the good work!

Found the Old EOS from my Dad, screwed a 35mm 1.4 and bought some cheap kodaks. thanks for the push! :D love the style

If i only shot film, I'd be broke as heck. But anyways, reminder set and siked for this!

The shot on the left tho, amazing capture. I think of all the top tier film photo RU-vidrs i.e. Verbeeck, Negative Feedback, GrainyDays, Vuhlandes, Analog Resurgence/Things, Matt Day etc, Radical Eye has some of the best captured poses and shots of people on film. Fantastic work as always, ready to see this update.

no way are there only 25.9K subs! after watching some of these videos I immediately subbed. Keep up that amazing content! Never stop

3:24 And when you get the photos (scans) back from (from the lab) it's like Christmas every single time ...Agree! Until you open the folder and see that either you missed focus on half of the roll... or the lab did a poor quality scan

Absolute legends to work with❤️

Beautiful video. The feeling described by Alex, I certainly have experienced the same path. Going with digital and being all techy in the younger days to preferring film now and in general less gear. These days, I see myself gravitating towards portraits due to the interaction with the subjects too. Yeah I completely agree. It is more satisfying, it is slow and the results are always surprising but hell, c'est la vie...

Yesss christmas every single time! Talented photographer!

Well done on this video guys. Was a very nice watch

Nicely captured short documentary, whiteout knowing him I got like an idea of his character’s essence which his a beautiful achievement in itself! Bravo

Very interesting thoughts. Someone who likes the English winter is also rare. Everyone wants to leave. But Christmas once a week is really a nice thing! I still enjoy it after switching from digital to large format!

you just...can't beat the unknown Christmas feeling of film & the beauty of it

oh man this video makes me want to just grab any camera off my shelf and go out to explore.

doing a no digi November, so much fun! probably wouldn't be able to do it full time though, it is expensive even with doing all the scanning myself... can't wait for this vid!

wonderful video. This is why we love film!

this was great

Fantastic work as usual mate

So beautiful footage

The anxiety before develop and Christmas after seeing your photo turned out well :)

To those saying shooting film is expensive. It is NOT if you consider: a) With film you can work with the same camera and gear for many many years. Whereas, if you shoot digital, you end up buying a new camera every year or two (maybe just for peer pressure o because you are always looking for the perfect digital camera that can simulate film's color structure). How many rolls of films can you buy with the price of a high-end full-frame camera? B) Good film-camera prices go up each year or at least they keep the value -since none are being made. Digital cameras devaluate faster than cars.

This is awesome! Great work!

This was produced very well. Kept me engaged the whole time

Great video about analog photography. No pretentious aspirations or gear needed.

Yeah, it's like Christmas every single time.

Woah guys that was beautiful!

Thank you for inspiration 😌✌🏻

What’s his gear???

I've long-boarded in Durban!! Met up with surfing friends after the war. Unfortunately, it was during the Apartheid days.

What if you just shoot film? You limit yourself to customers with that time frame and that budget. For someone getting five figures a day with a staff that can be processing and scanning, the customers may not care if material costs increase ten fold. Same goes for very small one offs where you fold expenses into your fee and and deliver the finished work a week later. There is content which is less viable with film (and was problematic before DSLRs existed including fast action sports, indoors in very low light) but the job done- expertise , money and control over the content evens that out. Lastly, film production requires a level of precision that modern digital medium survives easily without - just bump that exposure slider 1.5 stops during conversion.
