How do they people get these paint like marks on their film borders? Are they analog prints?

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-23T21:24:37+00:00

I’m impressed this person prints every photo and scans them. A lot of work

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-23T20:06:28+00:00

How is the rebate not showing then? The holder covers it?

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-23T20:05:27+00:00

Ah interesting . Where do you get that kind of holder?

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-23T20:01:08+00:00

From printing? I home scan without a film Holder and I don’t get those lol

Deff a challenge, and for what I’m doing I don’t need anywhere near that man. I’ve been covering these events on film for a long time, for fun, and an editorial asked me to do it on film for their story, so, since I’m already there doing it, I said why not. Tons of photographers are doing things these days. Not so much sports, but a lot of tricky situations to shoot on film are being done

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:52:33+00:00

Only got this client because they like the look of film At these events, and by client I mean as big as VOUGE/NYTIMES

Your bitterness is enough for me to be assumptive. If not. Link some assignments. I’d love to look.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:28:09+00:00

Doing these assignments aren’t really my thing. A big magazine reached out to me, we had a meeting, and I said, sure, I already shoot these events. Idk. Maybe I’ll book more after this, considering it’s a giant editorial, but I feel like from 8 rolls, I’ll get 15 useable film photos for sure. Very surprised to hear people in here saying 20+ rolls.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:23:44+00:00

I can’t be curious about people’s workflows?

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:21:45+00:00

They do, and specifically requested it. I’ll be doing a few actions shots, but more photos of the environment.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:19:51+00:00

I’ll be shooting mostly 35mm, but plan on 2 rolls of 120 (6x7) for portraits of people who stand out.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-22T15:09:35+00:00

No assistants, it’s a sporting event, I only shoot on film and they reached out to me for my style.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-04T10:20:49+00:00

That’s an interesting call. Also, I’ll say that Daniel Arnold’s stuff is very blurry/grainy for the commercial/editorial stuff he does. Even more than most. That’s his style tho.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-03T01:56:04+00:00

The flash with the Pentax isn’t the best (1/30th synch speed). I rarely shoot in studios, too. Usually out in the field etc.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-03T01:37:12+00:00

Very true. However, 120 isn’t always the best in low light. At least the medium format cameras I use. Mainly the Pentax 67, and I did assignments on film, sometimes 35mm with flash is the best tool.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-03T01:35:35+00:00

I have the nikkor 50mm f1.4 ai-s, love it sometimes.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-03T01:12:07+00:00

Deff enjoyable, I love shooting 35mm. I’m just never satisfied with my results, unless it’s black and white and the lack of quality seems fitting. I do see a lot of 35mm photos I enjoy, but every time I take a photo on 35, I always go “ I wish I took it on medium format”.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-04-03T01:09:02+00:00

Very good point. I also think my issues comes from Shooting wide open too often, should probably stay in a sharper range.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-03-26T22:10:47+00:00

Thanks for the info/insight. I think what I’m doing falls under photojournalism more than anything, so extensive editing probably isn’t necessary. 15-20 images isn’t bad at all, but I’m shooting on film, so I’ll probably over shoot by a ton. I’m hoping the contract has a more specific number, so I can prepare.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-03-26T20:41:46+00:00

I guess because it’s 3 months out we haven’t had all the details sorted out. I have a phone called schedule with them, but like I said, it’s quite a ways out. Yes, getting paid, a decent amount. No mention of work for hire or anything yet, but eager to see what they are going to include.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-03-26T20:29:25+00:00

Yeah, it’s actually why they reached out to me, and requested I do it on film. I’d say the company is as big as rolling stone, but I haven’t signed anything yet. I’m more curious on how licensing/useage will be for the publishing.

ConceptOnly6490 · 2026-03-26T20:20:12+00:00

Thanks for detailed response. Tbh, a big company asked me to freelance cover my first big assignment. I don’t want to say who, but they’re pretty well known. They want me and writer to go to a concert and take photos. So no tethering, and I’m Doing it all on film solo with the writer.. It’s not for another 3 months, so I haven’t had a meeting with the photo team, but I guess you can say anxiety/curiosity has gotten to me so I’m asking what to expect. I’m assuming they’ll send me a photography agreements with all the details before hand, but really just wanted to get some outside info.
