Switching from Film Photography to Digital and Quitting Instagram

[@Awayne429]

I strongly believe there is a place for shooting both film and digital. I been lucky enough to find a balance that works for me, film sometimes is just not feasible, and digital sometimes will not be the look you’re going for. Use whatever helps you enjoy your art and is best for you. Social media has a way of us chasing an algorithm that doesn’t care about anyone. It’s okay to use both, when I’m a on photo shot, I often use both mediums which I have specific needs for. Don’t stop taking photos, keep creating for yourself and enjoy the process.

totally agree with everything you've said here mate! that's it making photos is the only outcome we need to focus on

Film is a reaction to the hurt some digital photographers who I thought were friends did to me. I shoot digital for work but grudgingly. IG is a scam where our photos make IG money & have algos designed to suck our time dry. Grats on going to digital. I don't comment much but love your GRIII work.

[@AlexIvory]

thanks for such a thoughtful comment mate, i'll still always shoot film just needed a reset. appreciate it

“I value my pictures.” That hit the mark I think. Good video man. Subbed.

[@AlexIvory]

[@BIbiVstf3sx]

@@AlexIvory hahah yeah i get it, im only keeping my p&s.... kinda went full circle after 5 years 95% film. Got to admit it learned me to take my time, better compose and learn color.

[@nickcr3919]

I did the same in the past for 4 years.Now I feel that I lost 4 years of my photography life.Try to use both.For your personal moments for your family,try to use only film.After some years you will thank me.

Nice words and photographs! On the Instagram topic, I don't think it is the right platform for photographers. It doesn't feel right to me to try to play the attention game. Thanks for sharing this! Keep it up man!

[@AlexIvory]

i totally agree man, it would get me down and annoy me cos images would do well then nothing at all. that's never why i started taking pictures, i got a camera cos i love photos. thanks so much Jordi appreciate it
