Forests covered in a deep fog provide a great opportunity for landscape photographers as demonstrated by Michael Shainblum who ventured into the woods with a 35mm film camera and a spare roll of film.
Both a filmmaker and a photographer, Shainblum primarily works with landscapes using a digital system. But, for his latest video, he was able to borrow a 35mm film camera — the film was later developed by Shainblum’s friend Joe Pierce — and went back to shooting analog after several years of photographing with exclusively digital.
Shainblum tells
PetaPixel that foggy atmosphere is one of his favorite scenes to shoot, although it may not always work out how the photographer intended it. The fog creates a lot of mystery in the final images, which can be further elevated using film to create that unique look that is not always easy to achieve with a digital camera.
