So this year I returned to analog, because I needed to continue my growth as an artist. I needed to improve my approach with the light by working more with strobes and off-camera lighting, and to re-learn how to stop overshooting. What I have learned is that both of those issues are resolved with improvements to visualization and the pace you set for yourself in the craft.

I found the slow pace provided by film (with analog you need to purchase film, then process it, dry it, scan, and then edit) is what I needed, as it enables me to think more of the quality of the image and therefore subject. Here I only set one strobe, about 45 degrees to my right.

As I continue to shoot in film, I occasionally find myself shooting digital with the same pace. Overtime that will just be part of how I shoot.
