I let go of film photography when I got my first digital camera. 20 years later, here I am back doing film photography after watching some KZitemrs (including yourself of course) and remembering the fun (and challenge) and slower (relaxed) pace of taking even just a single image. After looking at the first batch of film images after getting a Olympus OM-1 film camera I also saw that digital just does not have the same "feel" to it. Film just has a warmer feel to it for me. Glad I came back!!

Hey Hashem, I'm a photog based in Melb, just want to say thank you. I was trying to just break into the market with purely film. You're right, it is a lot tougher and more expensive in the long run. This video was very helpful and eye-opening. I have chosen to adopt the hybrid shooting style for 2024. I love film too much to let go, but am willing to be flexible in order to grow. Thank you!

Haha the industry keeps changing I thought shooting "hybrid" was referring to photo+video and now it's digi+film.

Many many valid points in here. There are way too many risks involved with film. I shoot digitally for work and can throw in shooting a roll or two of film, but after we got everything needed on digital. Film also takes extra time on set, especially if there is flash involved. Digital and film have to be metered separately and that takes time to adjust the power of flash back and forth. So sometimes due to the lack of time, it's not even worth it to shoot film. I'm too chicken to offer film only shoots to clients, I think doing both is the way to go 😅

I am now offering black and white film portraits to clients and they seem to be on board, I have also shot some color here and there, most of my color is digital. I just think that monochrome is difficult to duplicate in quality with digital unless one gets a monochrome digital camera that cost quite a lot. I just pull out the Mamiya RB67 or Hasselblad 500 CM and shoot photos. I usually shoot one roll per client on Kodak TMax 100 and my charge is 150.00 for the session, all films are hand developed and prints are made in the darkroom at an additional fee.

for the past few years I've been using a hybrid shooting method with my Lumix S5 and a Canon FD adapter and a Canon FT. I'll typically set ISO on the digital to match the film I'm using and just mirror settings. I can also switch lenses between the two cameras which is nice. Such a clean workflow and I think it's the future of film and digital for me. Now my film camera is a Leica M4-P so hoping to use a digital and film Leica for more shoots down the road. Great informative video thanks!

Nice video Hash :) I have worked shooting film into some of my work, as a bonus when i had time to sort of spark interest and make the client extra happy while i think its fun and get to test out some stuff on a wedding or similar shoot. They have actually really enjoyed that, so for me its been positive. But then again i have done if without very little risque for them, so therefor no "extra "stress for me really.

Excellent advice. I’ve been shooting fine art film for a couple decades but find the best advice when you’re getting back into a jobbing photographer is to be hybrid. Thank you!

Just examine how the film Oppenheimer was hyped and marketed about IMAX 70mm film and most people watched a digital scan copy. People can't tell the difference between film or digital and don't care.

But, this preference for film by the auteur elites made its way into the collective consciousness to some degree by the hype of seeing Oppenheimer in 70mm. A small percentage of people who had no previous knowledge of film googled what is IMAX 70mm. That's important. I just saw it last night, and witnessing that degree of resolution, yet with the softness of film... I couldn't be more inspired today

@@JHurrenPhotography The practical effects team was pretty bad. The explosion sequence was weak. They should have just used the original footage and increased the low frequency audio to make the cinema vibrate. Terrible film. Skimmed over the development of the bomb and building all the uranium infrastructure.
