RIINA ABOUT FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

Hello Everyone,

For the first time I came across with analog photography in film school. My first impression was great and I felt appreciation of this traditional technique. At school I had to learn the process of developing photos, which on the beggining was black magic for me.

After film school, I abandoned traditional photography and went completely to digital media. Years later, I realized that I have made the biggest mistake. Today, I already know that the culture of tradition have big advantages and is one of the most important activities in our lives. Nothing can replace the original methods,they have something extraordinary - something that should be taken care of.

In 2017 I returned completely to the analogue, to the old technique, which now I adore. I bought a new camera, film and called up the first series of photos. I was enchanted with the visual art of photography - I felt in love with the flares of light that stretched over the photo, in retro cliches, in noises and in the texture of the paper. Real magic! Analogue photography has stolen my heart completely.

I do not know if you know, but the first permanent photo was taken by the French inventor Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce, which took place in 1826 or 1827. The picture was made on a polished zinc plate covered with Syrian asphalt. The display of the picture on a sunny day lasted for eight hours.

Thank you very much for your attention,
please let me know which media do you like more - digital or traditional ?

Have a nice day,

To next time!
