Professional photographer Alain Briot is certainly in demand today, as another of his articles has been published on the Luminous Landscape website. “How to Select the Best “film” for a Specific Image with both Film and Digital Capture” is the fifth part of Alain’s Aesthetics and Photography series:

“Which “film” to use is as relevant today as it was when film was the only choice. This is because film meant, and still means, which kind of photographic images we want to create. We make choices regarding “film” unconsciously, whether we know it or not. We make these choices when we convert an image from Raw to Photoshop. We make these choices when we adjust scanner settings, and we make these choices when we fine tune an image for printing. Knowing why we make these choices, and how to make the appropriate choices to achieve a specific result, will no doubt result in better images. It will also result in images whose final appearance is under our control rather than under the control of the film, the camera or the software we use.”
