Hybrid Theory
90% of my photography is done as a hobby. My “real job” is a primary-level teacher. I photograph almost purely to satisfy myself. As such, I can look the digital world in the eyes and say “Screw you, I’m shooting film. Not only that, but I’m going to shoot black & white film which I will then perform what amounts to alchemical magic on and transform the film into photographs.“
What I mean is, because it’s a hobby I have full control over the medium of capture and of final presentation.
But there does exist that 10% in which I am taking photographs in a more “commercial” capacity. There are times when someone else’s satisfaction is paramount to my own because they are investing in me and expecting a reasonable product. This being the 21st century and “digital” being the throw-around word of the day I am almost always asked to shoot “digitally” even though it is my personal work on film that typically brings me new clients. Here are the reasons I usually get:
- The client needs the photos “as soon as possible”.
- The client will be using the photos digitally (i.e. put on the web or other digital media).
- The client needs the “flexibility” of having digital files.
- The client wants the photos on CD/DVD for archival purposes.
