As I have written countless times before, I love film photography and I will never stop loving it. The beauty of the outcomes and the inconvenient, unconventional process of creating these images gives me a certain type of satisfaction that digital photography could never, ever give me. But, I find that because of the nature of the current industry, although there seems to be an increasing interest in film photography, the information and the resources required to understand and learn film photography are not easily accessibly as they could be.

That's when I thought to myself: "I wonder what the internet has on film photography?'

I found that there were quite a few videos on YouTube; more than I had initially imagined there to be especially on DIY'ing your own chemical and finding ways to develop your own film. As I scrolled through the various videos, I saw a paintbrush stroke of the most perfect shade of baby pink, an aesthetic looking video and a title that included something about a large-format camera (imagine a huge camera with someone behind it who has a blanket over their head and clicking a shutter release). Who doesn't want to watch an aesthetically pleasing video?

I clicked the link and two young British guys conducted the video by shooting each other with the large-format cameras. The music was amazing, chill ambient, and the videography, as well as the photography, were phenomenal. And who doesn't like to pretend that they're in London with cool artists who are creating pieces of art?

The YouTube channel name is quite clever as well: Negative Feedback. A play on words with negatives and actual negative feedback. After the first video though, I was sucked into a rabbit hole of the guy's videos. George Muncey started the channel mainly to create a platform for a younger generation of film photographers to learn from someone from a similar background and of a similar age. When he started learning film, he found that most people who were teaching anything about analog photography were older and less creative in presenting the information which made it hard to relate to much of the content that he learned about. That initiative to create videos so that other young people wouldn't have the same experience inspired me.

And I like to believe photography shows the personality of the photographer. His photos are tranquil and have a certain silence within them that makes you wonder and want to see more. His photos reflect the patience Muncey has, and the mellow personality that he has. Watching his videos helps me relax as well as learn a thing or two about different techniques or equipment, and get inspiration all at the same time.

I think what George Muncey is doing with his channel is awesome and I hope that more people can learn about the process of film through them, or simply enjoy the wonderfully created art.
