Photo Live Issue 3

I do think so, but there also is
nothing wrong with taking photos
merely for the enjoyment of a
subject or the documentation of
memories.
Personally I’m still trying to grow in
the way of being able to photograph
with a sense of story and purpose. I
think good photos should be made
for others, and should have multiple
elements that come together rather
than just a single aesthetic aspect.
The photos I enjoy the most illicit
some kind of response in me for
having seen them, and that is the
kind of ability I’d like to achieve.
I think a good tip is to simply ask
yourself “what am I saying with this
photo” or “what reading or response
do I want the viewer to have”.
Also to look at something in more
than one way and dig deeper... “what
underlying elements are present in a
situation that someone may not see
at first sight?”
Q: What’s a film camera you really
want but don’t yet have and
why?
I am actually quite satisfied with what
I have at the moment. If I had to pick
something I’d say a Contax 645,
but they are really overpriced in the
current market!
Q: OK to wrap up - where can our
readers go to find out more
about you and your channels..?
We can be found as “pushingfilm” on
Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter. We
also have an article on the website
“Australian Film Photographers
Scene” (afps.blog)
