For nearly 13 years, photographer Jordan Godly captured his surf photography with a DSLR. But in 2020, that changed and he ditched digital in order to go back to film.
captured his surf photography with a DSLR. But in 2020, that changed and he ditched digital in order to go back to film.
Fast-forward 20 years and Godly says he had been shooting with a DSLR in the water for over a decade when he realized it was starting to feel wrong. “I was walking through my local second-hand/vintage shop when I came across the Nikonos-III. At that point, I had had zero experience with the Nikonos series I just knew it was waterproof. I didn’t even know how to pull the camera apart to check and see if the O-rings were in good condition,” he says.
“From the first time I took the Nikonos out my photography senses were heightened, my sloth/zombie brain was ticking over, and I was immersed in the process,” he says. “I was present again and loving it. I was focused on anticipating the moment better. “I do feel as if digital photography provided such a great, fast-tracked learning experience. It sped up my development as a photographer and learning how to use the tool,” he says. “But I do feel like it is time now to use what I have learned, slow down, and enjoy the process of taking pictures again and film photography does this for me.”
