Whether you prefer the term retro, vintage or "old skool" there's
an undeniable truth to the familiar quote: "What's old is new
again." This is increasingly obvious among next-generation
photographers who are already reacting to the established digital
norm and actively seeking out something more soulful and personal
than the pixel-pushing, quick-fix of the digital age. And that
something is film. Yet this is a generation that has never
experienced film photography. They have not felt the unique
combination of fear and excitement at taking a once-in-a-lifetime
shot and not knowing if it's perfect; nor have they waited with
bated breath to see if their labours are good, bad or indifferent.
And they certainly won't have experienced the "happy accidents"
associated with badly loaded film, light leaks, collapsed shutters
or any of the other "defects" that can transform an average shot
into a one-of-a-kind photograph. 'Mastering Film Photography' is a
fast-track guide to shooting emulsion in the digital age. After a
crash course in how film works and how to choose the ideal camera
to use it with, readers will learn how to overcome the challenges
of getting the exposure right when there's no instant feedback; how
to use flash systems in the pre-TTL era; and the importance of
filters before Instagram; as well as exploring the creative world
of lensless photography. With profiles of leading film
practitioners along the way, the book is rounded off with a guide
to the traditional, digital and hybrid processing options that will
enable you to make the most of your negatives and slides.
