Arts EN ↓ 148 episodes

As a follow-up to Photography is Dead, Will of the Future is a podcast where Will Malone looks to what’s next in the world of photography and creativity. BUT then I let it get too general and unfocused as like many things in my life. So we are back with the final name of this podcast: Double Negative (a photography podcast by will malone) where I talk about issues revolving around the photography world today and explore this new era of my own photography work. Topics to include: film in the modern day, AI, selling prints, and much much more.

I made this video out of frustration. Sometimes I just want to take photos of weird stuff I find, and I need a camera that won't get in the way or cost me a bunch of money to shoot photo by photo. Film cameras can have amazing vibes, but is that worth it?
