by Chris Gatcum (Author)
Mastering Film Photography is a fast-track guide to shooting emulsion in the digital age. Readers will learn how to overcome the challenges of getting the exposure right; how to use flash systems in the pre-TTL era; and the importance of filters before Instagram.
Whether you prefer the term retro, vintage, or "old skool," next-generation photographers are already reacting to the established digital norm and actively seeking out something more soulful and personal than the pixel-pushing, quick-fix of the digital age. Mastering Film Photography is a fast-track guide to shooting emulsion in the digital age. After a crash course in how film works and how to choose the ideal camera to use it with, readers will learn how to overcome the challenges of getting the exposure right when there's no instant feedback; how to use flash systems in the pre-TTL era; and the importance of filters before Instagram; as well as exploring the creative world of lensless photography. With profiles of leading film practitioners along the way, the book is rounded off with a guide to the traditional, digital, and hybrid processing options that will enable you to make the most of your negatives and slides.
Author Biography
Chris Gatcum has always had a passion for the tactility of film - the physicality of emulsion as opposed to the 0s and 1s that create a digital image. As well as the obligatory digital arsenal, his camera bag bulges with myriad "old timer" cameras uncovered in thrift stores, flea markets, and online auctions. He is the author of Plastic Cameras, 52 Assignments: Experimental Photography (both with Ammonite Press) and is a regular contributor to Black + White Photography magazine. Chris lives in East Sussex.
