I love analog
shooting, cause you never know how your pictures going to look in the end. Sure
there are some down sides too; like when the half of your film is ruined, but
that shouldn’t stop you. It should give you motivation to get the perfect
picture you have in your mind at that moment.
Right now
I’m very happy how my 3 film are turned out. These pictures (below) were
captured by me about 6 months ago during my short weekend stay in London. Now I
see there are few which didn’t (maybe a lot) came out really nicely, but there
are also few that blew my mind. That’s why I love this whole process. Getting
your picture, handing them over for the development process and then finally
having back in your hands. That’s makes the whole thing exciting. I love it,
it’s just puts a smile on mine face.
Sometimes I
don’t want my pictures to look perfect. I want them to look at some certain
moment, I want them to give me the current feeling, the feeling what I’m into.
I want them to express the moment I felt. I guess that’s why people have
favourite photographer, cause you like the way they capture the moment and how
they give you certain feeling. Example,
the picture below is not sharp but still I didn’t/couldn’t delete it. Cause
when I look at this picture I get to see the moment passing by me. My ultimate
goal is to capture the moments that says a lot and not focusing on the colours
or layers.
So whatever
happens with your films, don’t stop. Just learn from your mistakes and give
more attention the next time. I’m not an
expert on this, but I can say that it makes you happy when you finally see the
one picture you will adore it.
I don’t
have a favourite photographer, I actually didn’t do any research about it or
anything caught mine attention, however I found Ville
Akseli Juurikkala‘s
style really appealing, I love the way his photographs looks, sharp and how the
deep colours and contrast makes the image stands out. I also like some black
and white images, more to which has retro / vintage vibe.
Enjoy this
photoshoot of my weekend of London.
p.s. I used black and white ISO 100 film and Redscale 50-200 ISO
I bought my own scanner :) so those black lines are some error, actually after trying a few times out I know how to scan my negatives properly :)))
