Hello World, this blog is for the digital photographer wanting to learn more about film with the idea of perhaps incorporating it into your work one day. The idea of film is daunting especially when the great photographers in our day shooting film all seem to have spent at least $50,000 or more going to school to learn all this stuff. I hope that by learning on digital my learning curve will be a little faster and less costly and that your will be too.
About the author of this blog (me): My name is Missy Cochran (a Portland Oregon Wedding Photographer) and I am obsessed with photography. I can't stop thinking about it. I wish I could go on a vacation and will myself to relax 100% but I continue to ponder. I learned photography on digital but as I improve, I like my look to have the feel of film. I guess the day that I realized I would be shooting film is when it occurred to me that all my favorite photographers who I look up to for inspiration on a regular basis all shoot film. And so begins my journey. The idea for this blog is to write down and document my discoveries as I turn to film. I feel like I understand the art form of photography but I am a beginner in the medium of film.
Subscribe and read along this road of discovery.
How fun! I'd love to see a running vocab of film terms, since I need improvement there! Maybe I'll bust out my film camera and play along! You could give us assignments, how cool is that! I'm following!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for starting this blog! After being inspired countless times by some amazing film shooters, I am trying to get more comfortable with film. I can't wait to see how you develop this project! (No pun intended... ha!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I'll be checking back for inspiration as I'm starting this journey too.
