Koffie of thee?
Just because digital cameras offer photojournalists unbelievable convenience and speed does not mean that everyone is using them — yet. Going digital is not as easy as leaving the vinyl albums behind. Many still are holding out for film, including Condé Nast and many of the top-rated Magnum photographers.
According to Sue Brisk, editorial director at Magnum, the agency is not requiring any of its photographers to shoot digital. Of Magnum’s 53 photographers, maybe 10 are shooting digital exclusively; others may use digital cameras but haven’t bought the equipment, she said.
Brisk likens the debate over digital versus film to whether people prefer drinking coffee or tea. In this digital world, Magnum definitely would be more of a traditional tea drinker. “Each photographer chooses their own way they prefer to work and, although more photographers are becoming interested in digital, many will remain true to film and the darkroom,” Brisk said.
