Best Camera To Get If You Want To Be A Filmmaker.
Hands down the best camera for someone who wants to get into Filmmaking is the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k. I have been in the filmmaking business since DV was a thing. You might not even know what that is, and that’s ok. The HDSLR’s movement revolutionized the industry. Affordable film-like quality at the lowest price point ever. Sure an HDSLR is cheaper than the Blackmagic and you get a beautiful depth of field but it's not as good as the BMPCC 4k for various reasons.
Adrian PedrinPublished 2 days ago in PhotographyIs a Film Scanner Worth Buying?
Ever since I started scanning my own film, I've had a lot of questions as to whether or not purchasing a film scanner is really worth it. Do you need a film scanner, or should you just keep getting your scans from your lab? It's probably not a question as old as time, but it's sure a popular question nevertheless.

William Eggleston is credited as one of the pioneers of color photography. In a time where the fine art photography world was consumed with black and white, Eggleston's use of color, his snapshot-like aesthetic, and banal subject matter was received with some backlash.

The classic ride parked in the carport of a mid-century home at the top of a well-watered green hill. A rundown gas station, desolate, neon glowing in the mist of night. A laundromat full of chrome, empty except for a handsome young man in a white T-shirt, jeans, and red Converse high-tops.

Generally speaking, I'm not a photographer who shoots a lot of black and white. When it comes to film, before this roll, I had only ever shot one roll of black and white and, to be honest, it was an accident:
Sophia CareyPublished 28 days ago in PhotographyI'm a Better Photographer Because of Flickr

Tricia HPublished about a month ago in Photography5 Unusual Habits of Successful Photographers
The best photographers have a process. A workflow. They’ve developed habits that enable them to produce consistently high-quality pictures, almost every time. Some of those habits may seem a bit unusual to the rest of us.

Now then mucka, welcome to the land of chip ‘oyles’ (fish and chips shops), ‘growlers’ (pork pies) and bingo daubers. A wonderful place where a night out will cost you twenty quid, including your kebab, cheesy chips and taxi fare home.

Connor MathesonPublished about a month ago in PhotographyDo People Know You Are a Photographer?
I’m not talking about full-time professionals with a studio or a wedding photographer. I’m talking about part-timers or stock or nature photographers that do most work in private and isolated from the public.

Zoe NaumanPublished about a month ago in PhotographyPhotographerlife. Or not.
So, I'm a photographer. A pro, a professional. Someone who gets paid for their work. (Often the only difference between a pro and and none pro is Public Liability insurance and a tax return. Having that 'Pro' status doesn't make anyone better than anyone else. I'm under no illusion! )
