Thanks I really appreciate being chosen to be the POTW! Would be honoured. How long have you been taking photographs? I've been a photographer for about 11 years, I started with a DSLR and worked my way up to a series of film cameras. My favourite to shoot on is my Nikon F2as. Why do you take photographs? What are you looking to get out of it? I just love to capture a sense of a place, a feeling, a moment in time. I also like to focus on capturing shots that reflect my views on social and political issues. I love connecting with the topics and inspirations that drive me to shoot. It gives me a sense of purpose and to put a bit of myself into the world. What inspired you to take this (group of) photo(s)? I'm a big movie nerd, with Denis Villeneuve being a huge inspiration and I really love his work, as well as the cinematography in his films. The movie Enemy really resonated with me, and after moving to Toronto 6 months ago I felt that I wanted to capture what was a very powerful and important moment in the movie. So I did some travelling across Ontario and Quebec, and set out to take a double exposure that captured this moment. Do you self develop or get a lab to process your film? I have done quite a bit of self developing in the past, primarily on black and white film. After moving to Toronto, I connected with a really great lab Graination that has a really amazing community of inspiring photographers. What first interested you in analog photography? a cliche answer, but I really resonate with the feeling that analog photography brings, that digital cannot and often tried to replicate. I love the manual process, the feeling that you are capturing something so physical, in a moment in time. What is your favourite piece of equipment (camera, film, or other) and why? Nikon F2as is my go-to piece of equipment, it's a beautifully designed piece of kit that stands the test of time. It's heavy, and there's something so intentional about bringing it with me everywhere, I guess an extension of myself. Also a big fan of Gold 200, it's cheap, accessible and I just love it. I have been leaning into shooting on Kodak Vision3 500T more recently, which I love. Do you have a tip or technique that other film photographers should try? just to find the thing that makes you really find purpose with shooting on film. It helps to try other people's styles and work out what makes you tick. Do you have a link to more of your work or an online portfolio you would like to share? my Instagram is @neoakley and my website is www.nateoakley.com Do you have a favourite analog photographer or analog photography web site you would like to recommend? Saul Leiter and Annie Leibovitz! Is there anything else you would like to add about yourself or your photography? shoot shoot shoot, develop shoot shoot shoot!   submitted by   /u/zzpza [link]   [comments]
