Photography is an ever-evolving art form. From the Daguerreotype to the first instant camera to the digital cameras which brought photography to the masses, technology has kept up the pace with our need to record the most important moments in our lives.
Nevertheless, there are still some who revel in the challenge of bringing still images to life on film. anophoto Photographic Arts is one such studio which continues to push film to its limits, recording modern history using tools which many today consider ancient.
Why? Well, why not? There is a certain satisfaction to be derived from loading film in the dark, focusing scenes manually or bracketing the same shot at different speeds or apertures to obtain different lighting effects. Most important, though, is the thrill of knowing that the end result, while not immediately viewable, will remain true to the form which had already been etched into the mind of the artist.
At anophoto, taking pictures is more than just a job or a hobby, it’s a state of mind. In the mind of the artist, the act of taking photos is just as important as the resulting image. Follow us on our journey as we record the world through our labour of love.
