In this episode of the Business of Photography Podcast, powered by Sprout Studio, host Bryan Caporicci embarks on a journey to rediscover the art of film photography through the lens of twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras. He delves into the unique characteristics of TLRs, such as their waist-level viewfinders and distinctive shooting experience, which encourage a more deliberate and composed approach to photography.
Bryan discusses various TLR models, including the Mamiya C220, Mamiya C330, and the iconic Rolleiflex, highlighting their features and the creative opportunities they offer. He shares insights on the process of selecting the right TLR camera, considering factors like lens quality, build, and usability.
Listeners will gain an appreciation for the tactile and immersive experience that TLR cameras provide, as well as practical advice on integrating film photography into their workflows. Bryan emphasizes how embracing analog techniques can reignite passion, enhance creativity, and offer a fresh perspective in a digital-dominated industry.
This episode is a must-listen for photographers interested in exploring the world of film, seeking to diversify their skills, and looking to infuse their work with a timeless aesthetic.
