The FIlm Photography Project is proud to present “Chasing Light”
Chasing Light is a fifteen minute documentary designed to demonstrate that photography in the modern age is not just about the use of mobile phones and compact cameras to create images It shows how traditional and alternate photographic processes are used, and manipulated by master’s of their craft to create the perfect art. Whilst the film does take a modest approach to showing traditional methods, newer forms of photography are also acknowledged – after all, cameras and lenses are just tools, and it should always be the final image that matters. The film features three UK based photographers: Leon Taylor, Valda Bailey and David Higgs. All three of whom are renowned within global photographic circles, for their unique styles, original creativity and photographic innovation. Chasing Light will hopefully inspire and with new knowledge to use for your own photography.

Awesome photos David! Love that print
imperfect tools hand ground by some bloke in the 1800s? you're using a mid 20th century military spec lens that costs like $700. 😛
,A fotografia grande formato tem vida ela fala com voce
Loved this doc. gentle, genuine depth and for lovers of patiently made photographs. Thanks for inspiring me!
'chasing light'… sooooooo pretentious and overblown for what is 'liking to take photos with a good camera at night time'.
I've watch 100s of videos. Then one comes along and takes you beyond awesome. This is one of them. Brilliant well done to all involved.
what lens is that on the graflex?
Beautiful! From the concept to its presentation, it was just amazing! And awesome cinematography too. Kudos to Angus Mitchell and his team for that! 🙂
purely amazing
A beautiful and inspiring film. Thank you!
nice bgm love it
Loved hearing Valda talk about the dead end road landscape photography seems to be in. If I see another long exposure of silky water I'm going to vomit.
Inspiring!
Excellent choice of photographers, and very well made documentary! Angus Mitchell and his team are very talented people!
fantastic!
Beautifully shot.
Finally, photographic art on Youtube! I bet all of the Instagram kiddies tuned out early.
David Higgs work is absolutely beautiful, really inspiring.
Wow…..this video was an unexpected pleasure. Wonderful work by each craftsman/craftswoman. I truly feel a sadness for those young digital photographers who have never explored film. Film is the equivalent of reading the book of a movie. The pace is more deliberate and more of the detail is uncovered. *******I am not a digital hater. Love digital too, however I am always more personally satisfied with my film work. Maybe because all of my senses are truly involved in the film process. Again, great video. Thank you.
This is a very well made documentary. I feel inspired to get out and shoot.
The work of all these photographers are amazing!
Very nice, quite inspiring.
Beautiful work from all three photographers.
three very inspiring people
