Night shoot

Martin has been working in a personal project, shooting at night (with a little help from his friends). Those are the results of his first 2 experiments. He used different cameras, lens, format and techniques. It is surprising that the picture on the left, more dreamy and dark, was shot with a digital camera and the one on the right, more bright and realistic was shot using film, medium format. We often blame digital for been too realistic, too sharp and we blame film for been too grainy, too dark. Somehow Martin managed to acquire the opposite effect with this 2 formats. Knowing Martin, he will be going back to this spot a few times until he gets exactly what he has in his imagination, until his pictures transmit without doubts (in his mind) what he wants.

For me, to follow his experiment is a journey to a memory of blurred, sexual, dark forms and the reality of sharp, bright, impossible landscapes. We'll be watching.
