Photography Spotlight – “Chasing Light”




The FIlm Photography Project is proud to present “Chasing Light”

Home


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.

  1. 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.
