Heather’s Website Quote: "I specialize in film photography, I love the feeling and aesthetic a film image provokes. Film has pushed me creatively to become a more thoughtful and artful photographer. Shooting in film really forces me to slow down and conceptualize the image before clicking the shutter. This allows me to offer my clients artful and timeless imagery of their wedding day.” (21:15)
Advantages of Working with Film:
It’ll slow you down so you’ll notice if their hand looks awkward, the flowers are off, when rings are crooked, etc.
When you slow down, it allows you to be in the moment.
You take the time to conceptualize the shot you’re about to take.
How do you avoid missing shots when you slow down for film? (26:05)
Hire a second shooter that shoots digital and will be capturing the moments in between and guarantee that you don’t miss the shots.
