Chris on why he shoots film:

“I grew up with film. My father is a former fashion photographer, and as such I was surrounded by cameras from a very early age. It was routine to have stacks of negatives, contact sheets, chromes, and Polaroids all around our apartment when I was a child. When I began photographing seriously for myself, it was with a Nikon D70, but two years later, while living in Finland for a year, I bought a roughed up Nikon F3 and Nikkormat and never looked back. At this point in time I choose to use film simply because it is simple, effective, and allows me to achieve the exact aesthetic that I prefer in my photographs. Love is a good glass of scotch and a pocket full of Delta 3200 for the  lonely night time hours.”

Perry on why he shoots film:

“There is an organic quality to the film that is that I just don’t find with digital. It is this organic quality of the film that keeps me coming back to film in this digital age. I strive for that same organic feel in my photographs and shooting digitally just creates more complications in trying to achieve it. I also do a lot of long exposures and traveling—which having something that doesn’t rely on batteries is really beneficial for. There is still a huge gap in resolution between what I shoot and most digital cameras available. Which leads me to the other digital camera dilemma for me—No square format cameras! I know I can shoot in any format and crop square, and I’ve tried it. I get much better results—in composition—when I shoot square rather than cropping after the fact. But really what it boils down to is I get better results with film so I’m sticking with it!”
