Film photography is awesome. But it has PROBLEMS. In this video I'm going to talk about what I see as some of the biggest problems with photographers and what we can do to fix them. I think if you spend one minute browsing an analog photography hashtag on instagram, you will encounter one of these problems - cliches. I don't know what it is about us film photographers, but put a 50 year old camera in our hands and we will find old trucks, neon signs, and vintage gas pumps in spades. Why is it that we only use our old film cameras to take pictures of old things? Another major problem is that film photography is highly technical, and as we spend time learning and using our old film cameras, there's a temptation to value the process over the result. Hopefully this video makes you aware of some potential blind spots. Maybe we won't have to have "The PROBLEM With Film Photographers" Part II. Thanks for watching guys!
