Hotels-live.com - “I still believe that film has a magic to it,” says Scott Irvine (@scottirvine57). Self-described as a latecomer to digital and mobile photography, he still uses vintage analog equipment and maintains a traditional darkroom for professional photographers in Brooklyn, New York. “Early on, I was frustrated that techniques and styles that had taken me years to learn in a darkroom setting were now available as apps, for everyone. I have since embraced these digital ideas, and incorporated them into my work,” Scott says. “I love the idea of bouncing back and forth between digital and analog mediums. I have experimented with creating negatives from some of my iPhone images, bringing them into the darkroom to print using analog techniques, then back to a digital format like Instagram.” He shares this visual language with his wife and fellow photographer, Kim Meinelt (@kimmibird). She describes their journey together, “Three months after we met, we traveled to Southeast Asia on a trip that would foreshadow our foray into collaborative photography,” she says. “Our process places two opposing techniques together with as little resistance as possible.” For more timeless photographs combining both old and new techniques, follow @scottirvine57 and @kimmibird.
