I often get asked whether photography and writing as we know them are dead. Ah yeah, I’d say so.
But until we find what the new version of how things are going to be why not enjoy all the organic rubbish and mistakes we always said weren’t good enough until they were gone.
Now that you can use ‘best take’, or portrait mode or generate year book and professional profile shots the first thing that people thing when they see your shot (Especially if its good!) is I bet that’s fake. Why not? You say the same. And rightly so, every is fake now, and always has been.
We have lost trust with the still (and almost moving image) And I miss that, SO…
As a new service I am offering YOU.
I shot a roll of film on Mamiya RB67, develop it by hand, select the best shot then chop the negative (6cm x 7cm) and frame it for you.
No filters, no A.I. No computer claws whatsoever, just, YOU.
Having the negative is an incredibly important feature and grants the client full traditional ownership of the image. No NFTs, this is physical ownership of a tangible and holdable asset.
I also supply a digital viewing copy as seen below.
The YOU service is €300 and includes the shoot, processing, scan of viewing copy and presentation of the actual negative in a frame.
