*JIMI DANCE* Cyanotype on Bockingford 300gsm Hot Press Model: @elijah_shingern ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 18 months ago, my good friend and super-talented author Cédric got in touch to ask if I was interested in illustration his roleplaying game project D3TROIT with photography. The game is about internal affairs cops in Detroit with a strong David Simon vibe, so photography seemed like a good fit, the grittier the better. I did some trials with cyanotypes and sent them over to the creative team. They loved not only the grit, but the fact that the blues seemed to reinforce the cop theme of the game. Key characters all have their own portraits, and this one is of Jimi Dance, the character's boss in Internal Affairs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #analogfeatures #analogphoto #analogforever #analogphotography #analogfilm #filmnotdead ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rawurbanshots #streetclassics #detroit #streetphotographers #killeverygram #streetphotography #bwstreetphoto #ig_street #street_photography #streetphotos ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyanotype #alternativeprocess #experimentalphotography #photography #art #alternativephotography #blueprint #blue #photoart #azul #analogphotography #emulsionlift #sunprint #alternativeprinting #worldcyanoday (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdqZbyoqCm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

POTM - Behind the Shot!

The winner of our 'Two's Company' competition is Maine, USA-based Jill Maguire! We received a lot of great entries so it was a tough decision, but Jill's photo was a favourite of all of our members. The choice to present the shot in black and white was a wise one, as it helps to highlight the important components. Aside from the obvious humorous element that we loved, it really sums up 'Two's Company', as the two Dalmatians look like inseparable pals for life. Not only that, but the two feet in the background are a nice additional touch. Congrats, Jill!

Old Dog Haven dog parade, Bellevue, Washington, 2014

We asked Jill to give us a bit of background for this shot: “I started attending festivals and events in 2014 to increase my chances of finding interesting moments to photograph. Wandering around city streets with a camera just wasn't doing it for me, and I really liked the energy and purpose of organized events. The Old Dog Haven parade was a great place to surround myself with sweet old dogs and if I got lucky, take a good picture or two.

I'm including a couple of the other shots I took that day. This was still very early in my street photography career, and I'm not sure I'd take these same pictures today.”

*Street Sign* Rolleiflex SL35 + Lomography Fantome 8 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hong Kong is filled with visual signage. In fact, you could say it's overfilled with it, a proper assault on the senses. So it's quite refreshing to see handwritten signs once in a while. No idea what this says though... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rawurbanshots #streetclassics #hongkong #hkig #hongkonginsta #streetphotographers #killeverygram #streetphotography #bwstreetphoto #ig_street #street_photography #streetphotos #life_is_street ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rolleiflexSL35 #lomography #fantome8 #heylomography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #filmphotomag #shootfilmmag #filmfeed #lonelyanalog #filmismorefun #thefilmcommunity #filmwave #back2thebase #deathb4digital #FilmShootersCollective #analogfeatures #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead (à Wanchai Hongkong) https://www.instagram.com/p/COcbyfBnqb6/?igshid=gbhhixlnvoc

Michael McCallie

My fascination with photography began in the summer of 2019. By profession, I am a classical musician and educator. For years, my friends, family, and students encouraged me to buy a camera to produce video content of myself performing for various social media platforms. I finally broke down and purchased a small mirrorless camera—and immediately hated making videos.

As the camera slowly began to collect dust in my office, I found myself looking over at it and thinking,“maybe I could take some photos with that thing.” After three months or so of shooting my family, the dog, sunsets, and all the other things that folks who aren’t sure what to point a camera at take photos of, I ordered a copy of Exiles by Josef Koudelka. I ordered it not because I had heard much about him, but because Amazon continually recommended it based on the amount of camera browsing I was doing.

After Exiles, the rest is history. I ordered monographs by all the classic black and white documentary and street photographers: Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander. Then I moved on to the folks who work in color: Alex Webb, Harry Gruyaert, Lars Tunbjörk, and Martin Parr. I was hooked. And soon, I began heading out into the city streets of my hometown, Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, to try to make work that looked anything like the photos of those photographers I admired so much.

At first, it was completely terrifying to make photographs of strangers, but after much trial and error I began to feel more comfortable on the streets with the camera. Because Chattanooga doesn’t have a great deal of vibrant color, I tended to (and still do) work in black and white. Here are some examples of the first photographs I made:

Bridge Ballons, Chattanooga, Tennesse USA, 2021

Chiaroscuro, Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, 2020

As I’ve become more comfortable working candidly on the street, I’ve begun to add more elements to my photographs, like multiple subjects, layers, and color—anything that adds complexity or depth to the frame. Some of my more recent work looks like this:

Rodeo Fresco, Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, 2021

Within/Without, Miami, USA, 2021

Summer Job, Miami, USA, 2021

Although I’ve only made photographs in the street for a relatively short time, I’ve begun to see how the moments that catch my eye are actually a reflection of my personality and my own unique view of humanity itself. I’ve begun to treat my time out with the camera as an opportunity to reflect on the things that are most important and beautiful to me. This way, I make images on my walks—maybe a few good ones—while learning about myself and how I relate to the world around me.

Duck, Miami, USA, 2021
