"the best living photographer doesn't know they are a photographer..."
i was recently doomscrolling when i heard this quote, "the best living photographer doesn't know they are a photographer..." and wow is it an interesting thought. with so many smartphone images being taken every second, its interesting to question that the possible best photographer is out there right now, not even realising they are a photographer. i compared this to Vivian Maiers story, which is a pre modern version of this concept, and also questioned the authenticity of a collective image from photography, using war and social media as a platform. find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/
old photography magazines are awesome...
i've recently been collecting old photography magazines i could get my hands on, anything from the 60s-80s, magazines specifically from leica or general handbooks, these are such a relic and hold a nostalgic piece of analogue history and i think they deserve some recognition find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube sub count: 1,278 Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/
ranking the BEST beginner film cameras
I've used a lot of film cameras, 35mm and medium format, for the last 3 years, and i definitely feel like i've learnt a lot about cameras in that time. Going online you'll see 'top 5 film cameras' lists everywhere, recommending the same 3 cameras pretty much, the Canon AE-1, the Pentax K1000 and probably the Olympus MJU for good luck, point and shoots or SLR's, today, i thought i'd present my tier list and rank a few of these popular cameras, and show off some cheaper, beautiful K mount alternatives for pentax cameras ;) Sub count: 1,249 Filmed on the Canon 200D with the 28mm Cosina f/2.8 find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ 0:00 Intro 0:30 What is an SLR 0:56 Canon AE-1 2:45 Pentax K1000 4:04 Pentax ME and ME Super 5:30 Pentax P30 7:16 Olympus OM-10 8:11 Point and Shoots 8:39 Kodak M35 and Ektar H35 10:04 Olympus MJU 10:58 Olympus AF-10 11:29 A Tier Point and Shoots 12:35 Outro
christmas, nostalgia and film cameras
Christmas, nostalgia and film cameras, 3 things that don’t seem very connected, but actually are. Why when we take a photo of film do we consider it nostalgic? is it the snapshot genre of compact cameras or the warm tone of 80s kodachrome film? and how does nostalgia effect christmas? all these questions have a common cause, capitalism and consumerism. In this video, i, matthew (Matt Tube) explore some of this in a rambling mess that might be semi coherent. find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ 0:00 Intro 1:16 The 80s 3:04 Kodachrome and Compact Cameras 7:55 Christmas 10:27 Last thoughts

a roll of trix 400 on a cloudy morning
I've been struggling a lot with motivation recently, and some imposter syndrome, not feeling like the work i create is good enough to upload and show off to people, so today i thought i'd strip back, go to basics and just put a roll of trix 400 120 film in my Yashica 24 TLR, and take some gloomy black and white pictures on a cloudy morning. From self portraits to landscapes, hope some of them are alright! instagrammmm: https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com
Every camera tells a unique story
In this video i dive into the personal history film cameras hold. Cameras like the original Leica made by Mr Leitz, or the Hasselblads NASA sent to space are rare, unique one of one cameras that hold a key moment in history. But what about the forgotten cameras, or personal cameras that have interesting stories. We commonly associate the images a camera makes telling the story, but what about the story the camera holds. I talk about Vivian Maier, Gus McCilin, Bill Biggart and Bernice Palmer in this video, along with personal stories about my TLR and other film cameras.

Why the square format is the best format.
The square format in undoubtably one of my favourite film formats, being so uniform but also subverting so many expected rules of photography. Companies like rolliflex and hasselblad have defined an era of film photography, so i wanted to attempt to discuss why i love the square format so much in my first ever video essay. Sorry if this video is ramberly! its my first attempt of this style of video essay and its very out of my comfort zone! any support and feedback is super appreciated! instagrammmm :0 https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ find me everywhere: https://linktr.ee/matthewcawrey Check out audiio with my affiliate link to support the channel! and save 70% off your first year using CODE: SAVE70 Music Affiliate: https://audiio.com/matttube Business Enquiries: matthew_c41@outlook.com Sub Count: 763 (18/06/2024)

a slow 3 months of film photography
credit to the video style @WillemVerb the last 3 months (july september and october) have been slow for film photography for me, but i've still taken a fair few images, so from my olympus af-1 super, kodak gold, a digital camera from 2004, fomapan 100 and tmax 400, here is a summary of my last 3 months of photography insta saw it first: https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/
a Point and Shoot Camera that fits in your pocket (Instamatic S30)
110 film is a tiny format made for small cameras like the one featured in todays video, the kodak mini instamatic s30. These small point and shoot cameras are only really kept alive by companies like lomography, still creating film for them insta saw it first: https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ Music: Home - Resting State, track 3, 5 and 19
the best way to recreate the film look in photos? (Dehancer Film)
You can use code 10MATT for 10% off Dehancers products: https://www.dehancer.com/ DISCLAIMER: Dehancer has had no involvement in what I have said in this video, they provided me with their product to review and encouraged honest and constructive criticism In this video I review a plugin made for photo and video editing software like Photoshop and Premiere Pro that emulates various film emulsions on digital images / video. Achieving a film like look can be complex but Dehancers product does a good job at aiding emulation with grain emulation and halations. This could be one of the best / quickest ways to emulate film in 2023 (other then shooting film ofc haha) This video is a bit different to my usual ones, but given the opportunity to review something like this and compare it to film, I knew I had to!

my first ever roll of film...
i've been shooting film for the last 2 years, but it wasn't always like that. for a year i shot only digital until my teacher at the time recommended anyone stuck for ideas, shoot a roll of black and white film, so i shot my first roll of XP2 super 400 on a disposable point and shoot and it was BAD, very very bad. insta saw it first: https://www.instagram.com/matthew_c41/ music: Virtual Roaming Charges (half.cool)
