After decades of shooting digital format for most of my commercial work, I’m going back to the roots of photography and shooting film again. In my opinion, film has a special appeal that got lost in the digital age. Film has a warmth, depth and character you just can’t get with any digital camera. The cost of film, developing and scanning has become quite expensive so most photographers don’t shoot it anymore.

That’s one of the attractions to shooting film. It forces me to be more deliberate in each image. Whereas with digital, many photographers just shoot hundreds of images and select a few of the best to give to their clients. To each his own. As for me, I’m going back to “old school” for the most part. I love Black and White however, I will still be shooting and uploading some images in color.

I’ve chosen to use, in my opinion, one of the best old cameras ever made. It’s a German made Rolliecord V made in the year 1955. It’s amazing how these models have become some of the most sought after film cameras from the past. Used by some of the greatest photographers from the past. There’s a reason for that. Below you see a few of the results from this camera.
