Sticking to the good old ways
Photographer Rodney Smith explains to RACHEL LOI why he shoots only with film, and mostly in black and white
AS the saying goes, change doesn't necessarily assure progress. And it's one that photographer Rodney Smith takes very seriously with regard to his beloved craft. That's why he shoots only with film, mostly in black and white, and wears a look of pride when separating himself from the horrors of Instagram and Photoshop.
"Although digital is probably a good change for a lot of people, it's not definitive that it's better. All that digital offers don't interest me," says the 67-year-old Smith who honed his skills under documentary photographer Walker Evans in the early 1970s.
