Anthony Tripoli: I see a lot of new shooters putting their subject dead center because that’s where the focus patch is, but then not readjusting after achieving focus. This leads to a lot of portraits with a ton of headroom. We’re all guilty of it from time to time, and shit sometimes it looks good, but it’s something to be aware of especially when shooting portraits. With that being said, if you like portraits with a ton of head room, do what makes you happy, but it does seem to be a common theme I see online/Youtube with people shooting film, and especially medium format.

Jon Henry: “Get a second film back if you can. So you can use 2 different film types.”

10 Reasons to Choose Film Photography for Wall Art

Film photography is a great choice for wall art, especially black and white and still life photography. Film has a unique look that is often described as being more "organic" or "natural" than digital photography. Black and white photography is a classic choice for wall art, and it can be used to create timeless and elegant images. Still life subjects are often simple and uncluttered, which makes them well-suited for the more traditional look of film. Film photography can also capture texture and depth in a way that digital photography often cannot. It is also a more personal medium that is often used to capture memories and experiences. Film photographs can also have a more timeless quality than digital photographs.
