A conversation with artist April-Lea Hutchinson
April (pictured below) is a photographer / model from London Ontario

April-lea Hutchinson
“My work as a photographer is part of a longstanding relationship with the camera that began with modeling. I have a fondness for film and a deep desire to photograph people as people, breaking from expected norms of beauty. In my work, I look for emotion, try to tell a story, and reveal the beauty in my characters. Beyond the aesthetic qualities imparted by instant film and long exposures, my empathetic relationship with the person in front of the camera infuses my images with comfortable intimacy and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. I create timeless images using a mix of Medium Format and Polaroid Film. I am a purist at heart.”

FPP Show Notes / Episode 11 - July 15, 2010

I received a wonderful complementary note from Film Photography Podcast listener Robb Nunn regarding our podcast. Rob hosts the SCL Photo Podcast and is on the web at http://www.robnunnphoto.com/

We started corresponding via e-mail which led to me asking Rob, “Would you like to write FPP Show Notes”? Quite a few listeners have written to me relaying the fact that they listen many times while commuting and how awesome it would be if we had some notes posted on-line about each episode. Great idea and I’m happy to report that Rob has volunteered to take on the task. Thank you, Rob!

Film Photography on Internet Radio

I started recording a monthly Internet Radio show called the Film Photography Podcast last October in order to share my enthusiasm about shooting film. At that time I was already recording a monthly show covering underground B-Movies (called the Alternative Cinema Podcast). I was chewing up so much time on the AC podcast talking about film photography that I decided to branch out and record a show solely devoted to shooting film.

Alternative Cinema Podcast
Noel “Scotch” Anderson’s art for the Alternative Cinema Podcast

I had no idea how popular and well received the show would become. I’ve met so many amazing artists these past months and most recently Dan Domme, a podcast listener even visited my studio and did a guest spot on the show.

I’m really happy to tell everyone that I’ve expanded the show to twice a month starting with this July 1st episode. An amazing thanks to Duane Polcou and John Fedele for coming along for this great ride. The show is really picking up steam and remains firmly rooting in its original theme – Have Fun Shooting Film!

Duane Polcou chatted a bit about Marty Forscher.
“His best-known invention, patented in 1982, was the Pro-Back, a Polaroid attachment for a 35-millimeter camera that gave photographers an immediate proof print, letting them test a shot without having to wait for the film to be developed. Mr. Forscher also created an early compact motor drive for still cameras.”

Sadly, Mr. Forscher passed away in 2009.

Podcast listener Clifford Davis suggested the Black Cat Exposure Guide for picking your exposure without using a meter.

Ukulele rocker Henrique Couto was our extra special guest. He just released his first CD. Folks who purchase his deluxe album get an exposed “mystery roll” of 35mm film. Henrique discussed his music and this odd film project.

Brian Duffy, whose photographs helped define the mood of the Swinging Sixties, has died aged 76. Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy formed part of the trinity of photographers who became as famous as the models, musicians and film stars they worked with.

The Trackman called in to see if his Dad’s Ansco Clipper arrived at the FPP studio. The Anco Clipper camera was made in the 1940s in the UD and uses type 616 film.

Ansco Clipper 616 Camera

I was able to locate an additional 616 spool, so I rolled 120 film to the 616 spool in a film changing bag.
