Jonathan on why he shoots film:

“I’ve shot film from day one.  Attempted to convert to digital a couple times, but have stayed 100% film throughout my whole career.  I shoot film for a myriad of reasons. The main reason is the look.  I love the images I can get straight out of camera without manipulation on my end.   I also shoot film to minimize my time behind a computer.  I’m a husband and father of 6 kids 9 and under and shooting film gives the the ability to do what I love and still have a family life.  I’m a photographer, not a digital editor.  Also, I love the mindset that comes with shooting film.  I’m not burning through rolls and rolls of film at assignments or when shooting personally.  When I take a shot, I take one and move on.  It really slows me down, makes me very deliberate in how I compose and when I hit the shutter.  I’ve shot mostly weddings for the span of the last 13 years and am making a move towards more commercial/lifestyle and families.  I shoot a ton of personal work of my travels and my family.”

Film Photographer Spotlight: Perry Manuk

Cameras: Hasselblad 501CM
Fav Films: Fuji Acros or Ilford Delta 400

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!”
