@jasonlammm back for the final day of my @shootitwithfilm takeover. This photo, like the last, was shot “off-stage.” My friend and talented dancer, Yu, had just sat down to get her makeup done when I took this photo. I didn’t plan for this shot, nor was she expecting it. We were both caught off guard, so to speak.

What I like most about film is it forces me to focus less on the gear, and more on my connection with my subject. I can’t look back and check my work, so I have to trust my gut. Sometimes, that could lead to some terrible photos, but other times, it can lead to some nice surprises. The limitations of film is also what keeps me honest.

In this way, shooting film is very empowering. I used to be scared that I only have a limited amount of shots, but now I trust that all the film I have is all I need. Some people love film for its look, or the novelty of it, but for me it’s a practice in discipline and trust in myself. Shooting film is a practice of being more honest about who I am and how I feel, and I hope to share those qualities with those I photograph as well.

Thank you for tuning in, I hope this series inspired you to look further into your own work and motivated you to continue forth on your own artistic journey.

It's @jasonlammm back for day 2 of my @shootitwithfilm takeover. I captured this moment while we were taking a break during our photoshoot. I often make it a point to continue taking photos even when we are resting because I feel it allows more honest moments to shine through.

My friend, Brianna, isn’t posing in this photo. She’s just being herself. The setting isn’t quite right. Her bags and laptop are clearly visible in the corner of the room. I probably wouldn’t have asked her to take a sip of her drink during the shoot, nor would she have sat in that way on the floor expecting me to take a photo. In a sense, we are off-stage at this moment in time, but that’s the beauty of it, we’re both just being ourselves.

I took this photo with my Olympus Stylus Epic point-and-shoot camera. It was gifted to me by my friend, which was handed down to him by his grandma. It’s a small camera, but it’s fast and it fits easily in my pocket. I often keep it close by during my shoots because it’s so fun and easy to use. The flash and the mechanical sounds it makes reminds me of how my parents used to snap photos of me and my siblings when I was younger. I guess In taking this photo with this camera, I’m also capturing the innocence and incidental moments that my family once saw in me.
