Welcome To Carl Posey Photography
About me
Thanks for checking in. Most of the work I have posted on my site is a combination of recent photo shoots mixed in with some previous shoots. Over the past few years I have tried to make a smooth transition into shooting digital from mostly medium film format cameras. The big difference with shooting digital is like having a film camera that comes with a duffel bag loaded with rolls and rolls of free film. Then ad some free processing to go along with. (Keep in mind art buyers and photo editors, this freeness does not apply to you!) My eye and what I see remains the same. Carl Posey sees like Carl Posey that's that. The processing part is dry based, it's only cost is TIME (and software) and you need a desktop, a comfy/proper chair and hella patients in this era of fix it in post. I try and make it happen in that present moment and play little in post. This has been my work and style of shooting. Find the moment with the time you have with the subject. It being 15 minutes with Henry Kissinger or 3 minutes with DMX, or that caught situation with the girl in the Meat Packing district that's got to happen. Find the truth within the time I have. Then I go to post and play minimal or play just for fun. But I will have the moment on electronic digital file (on two hard drives and a CD). I hope you see the line between my film work and digital. I want them to coexist.
