These are beautiful. I feel that same pull! I always prefer horizontal because that feels more like storytelling to me. Most of my photos are landscape too bc of that aspect. It's just what I'm drawn too. But I do like how you adapted it for vertical!
Thank you Kym :) Yes, that's how I feel, too, with video. With photos now, I've become more drawn to vertical. Maybe I've become trained from shooting stills for social media for so long. But interestingly, I've noticed when I shoot on my film camera, I shoot more horizontally, and I used to be more drawn to this format. I really value your feedback :)
This is stunning Honey. The photos, your words- so immersive, I loved it. I find myself always taking vertical video (because of what is always in my hand!) but seeing your horizontal video here, there something pretty magical about taking it all in. Maybe it feels closer to our natural perspective also, capturing our peripheral vision.
Thanks, Samantha! That is such a compliment - you know how unsure I feel about writing... I often put off it because I don't feel confident. But once I started writing, it gave me a real buzz to express myself like this. Yes, that's a good point about horizontal being more like our natural perspective. I'd never thought about it like that. I agree I am also more drawn to the horizontal. It makes me wonder if people in their 20s or younger would prefer vertical, as that's what they are used to seeing now.
Gosh that golden portrait of O is beautiful and F is the perfect film subject( O is obvs lovely too 🥰). I love horizontal for film. I can't explain it just an instinctual pull.
Thanks so much, Sally! Isn't the light just crazy good?! I agree, Sally; I also like the horizontal video more, it pulls me into the frame better. Trying to make video work vertically and horizontally is an interesting challenge, but ultimately, there's something special about the cinematic feel you get from a wide video.
