New York though a canon FS100
These photographs where shot on a Canon FS100 which stands out for its raw nostalgic aesthetic. The 20 year old camcorders imperfections - muted colours, soft focus - create an intimate dreamlike quality that invites the viewers to see New York through a unique perspective. By embracing the limitations of older technology you capture spontaneous, authentic moments giving the city a personal quality. When using a camera such as the FS100, its not about simply capturing the scene - or with most photography today capturing the highest quality image with the most expensive camera - its about embracing imperfection and finding beauty in the rawness of the medium.
