This black and white image shows a group of people gathered in front of an ornate door with stained glass windows. The scene appears to be indoors, possibly in a church. The atmosphere seems to be calm and communal.

The image depicts an individual standing atop what appears to be a dry grass-covered hill under a partly cloudy sky. The person is dressed in vibrant red attire that includes a coat and pants, with pink leg warmers or leggings visible beneath the pants. They are wearing earmuffs on their head and have long hair trailing down behind them as they look ahead towards the horizon. Their posture suggests movement forward along the slope of the hillside. In terms of color contrast, the reds stand out against the golden tones of the grassy terrain and the cool blues of the sky above. The setting conveys a sense of solitude or introspection amidst nature's expansive backdrop.

Don’t Look Back; A Reason To Shoot Film

by Johnny Martyr

I was listening to the latest episode of The Nikki Glaser Podcast and writer/comedian Brian Frange made a comment about stand-up comedy that resonated with me as a film photographer.

Nikki was talking about the value of being authentic vs giving the audience what you think they want.

Brian clarified " Whenever you're trying to give people what they want, not only you're being inauthentic, which is an anathema to stand-up, but you're also backwards looking. And the key to being funny is to be forwards looking and be new and different…. When you're trying to do something that you expect, that means you saw something that worked and you're copying it. Which is why AI is going to fail; it's backwards looking."

I can relate to Brian's sentiment, not only in how he intended it but also in terms of shooting digital and having a preview screen and shooting film and not having one.

When a photographer chimps their digital shots, they are reacting to a first draft rendering of the scene instead of reacting to the scene itself.

It's kind of like the Magritte painting, The Treachery of Images.

"Ceci n 'est pas une pipe", French for "This is not a pipe" - indicating that this is a painting of a pipe, not the pipe itself.

Brian's comment about looking forward vs. looking backward feels similar.

Looking backward is reviewing the last shot(s) that you took instead of taking the next shot or looking for it (looking forward.)

Another media artifact that reminds me of this concept is the passage in the Chuck Palanuik book and its popular film adaption, Fight Club. The main character Jack says "This is how it is with insomnia. Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. The insomnia distance of everything, you can't touch anything and nothing can touch you"

The aliasing in this jpg depicting Edward Norton in the movie Fight Club seems to demonstrate the point!

From these lines, one can imagine the tangential distance one can put between their original, source motivation for taking a photo and how the constant checking of previews interferes with that vitality.

I'm not going to invalidate instant photo review in photography and you don't need to shoot film just to avoid using it. There are technical and social means of avoiding preview if desired. You can simply turn your preview screen off and ignore it or shoot with a Leica M-D. Or you can, as most people do, view image preview as a critical tool. If these are your thoughts, I don't disagree with you. You're not wrong. The benefits of preview are indisputable and I don't mean to directly equate them to inauthenticity or anything negative.

But I do think that for some genres of photography such as photojournalism or just as a creative exercise in general, taking photos without using image preview can bring more authenticity, both to ones approach and to ones final images.

But I would submit that having the option of previewing ones photos, regardless of if one chooses to use it or not, affects how we take photos and interact with our subjects. I'll leave it up to readers to decide when it is or is not right for their particular process to use instant image preview. And I certainly wouldn't claim that the lack of it is anything close to the main reason one should shoot film. But I do think that cultivating the habit of trusting and moving on instinct, creating images based on reactions to life vs other images is one of many core reasons why film photography can take ones work in a different, potentially useful direction than more utilitarian, scientific digital photography.

To me, lack of image preview is one of the ways that we can harness personal intellect and emotions to more directly influence what we choose our subjects to be and how we choose to render and convey them. And regardless of if you predominantly shoot digital or film and whatever the reasons, I find that this is one reason why I lean on film for my work.

I'm disappointed that Brian Frange was unable to attend my last shoot with Nikki this past June (and wasn't touring with her when I photographed her in November) but I look forward (not backward!) to his hilariously insightful comments on the next episode of The Nikki Glaser Podcast!

What do you think? How much does the preview screen play a role in your digital photography? What do you think about the notion that it holds you in the past when you should be looking forward? Let's discuss in the comments below!

Thanks for reading and happy shooting!

#art #guerillaArt #mastoart #aberdeenshire #inthemoment on our visit to the Art gallery in Aberdeen today, I was compelled to create an impromptu exhibit using materials available.

An open notebook on a black leather surface, featuring handwritten notes about an artwork titled "Rest and Be Thankful" from 2024. A mechanical pencil is positioned beside the notebook. The notes describe the creation process and emotional themes of the artwork.

A handwritten sign on a white card reads, "PLEASE DO SIT ON THIS INSTALLATION." The card is placed on a black leather surface.

A modern bench with a dark wooden base and padded leather top is situated in a gallery space. Papers are placed on the bench, and there are openings in the sides with contents visible. The flooring is a light, herringbone pattern, and artworks

A gray padded bench with metal handles features a sign that reads "PLEASE DO SIT ON THIS INSTALLATION." Next to it, there is an open notebook with handwritten notes and a pencil. Below the bench, there is a storage area containing drawing tools
