It’s no secret that analogue photography has experienced a dramatic renaissance in recent years and with this revival, a practice of image making has been rediscovered. For years, family albums have been congested with ‘snap’ photography. The frames between one’s favorite photographs have been published with equal priority and importance. Proud parents universally, have found themselves baffled by the editorial process and have resorted instead, to giving every one of their 36 frames equal page space when it has come to exhibiting them in these glossy domestic anthologies.
The analogue format has found a new place in the modern world. Outshone by the accessibility and convenience of the silicon chip, it has been forced to adapt and rebrand to stay afloat in such a competitive market. As children of the digital age, film photography has forged a very distinct identity in our understanding of visual culture. We have only been conscience for its resurgence and so to us, we hold a very different relationship to those who still find the digital sensor something of a mystery. This rebirth has also dovetailed with analogues partial demise. A new reputation has been founded, one built upon connotations of ‘teenage girl memory maker’, ‘of festival documenter’ and ‘house party conversation piece’. We have seen its role on Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr, its novel ability to imbue even the most tedious of compositions with a flicker of interest. We have witnessed every single flash frame of someone’s prom night, of our best mate’s blurry trip to Thailand and become very familiar with our friend’s thumbs after their birthday blow outs.
As photography students, we hope to explore this medium a little further then the 6x4 glossy Boots prints. To run past the red eye and the light leaks and into the unrivaled qualities that still remain unique to film. Nonetheless we are not innocent, we’ve all taken our fair share of throwaways, of expendables and cock ups. Our contact sheets are living proof of our pitfalls and for a long time they have remained the only testimony. However perhaps it’s time to celebrate these blunders. To allow these forgotten frames to have their day, to strut their hour upon the stage then fall back into anonymity with a new-found dignity. For us, this exhibition is an opportunity to showcase these forgotten negatives and in doing so we hope to present something that before has remained concealed, even to us – the creators.
