The Relevance of Film to Commercial Work

Thanks for all the comments and links. Not entirely sure but it seems to me that one advantage in film is that possession of the negatives could be seen as evidence of ownership of copyright. Any thoughts on this?
 
Brutal and beautiful (Howe’s Peak story, but the photographs too). Korol’s photography elevated the piece exponentially and is a gift.

If you could share more of his philosophy and how he is received by all those publications and media their knowing (?) film is what’s behind the images? Is there even a care?

Possession of RAWs or unedited files should be evidence enough.

Aside from the NYT photogs mentioned already just anecdotally it's very common to see fashion photographers in NYC using film (pre-covid anyway). In the motion picture world film use is still very common, of the 15+ Hollywood films I've worked on in the last several years I'd say around 50% of them were shot on film; everything from 16mm to 70mm super panavision. From what I hear producers don't really care that much about whether or not a director wants to use film since the actual cost of film+processing is a tiny fraction of the overall production budget, plus the processing pipeline these days is extremely quick and reliable.

rr, I don't know much about Todd's philosophy, I know him as an acquaintance from playing acoustic music, & meeting over the years at the photohub for things camera, The Camera Store, in Calgary. I do know that he has always been an in-demand photographer. Certainly his LF use (when he chooses it) makes him stand out from the other pros.
