I love shooting film, especially if it's medium or large format, especially if it's in the desert.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION
When you get sent to photograph a vacant radiology center in the high desert of California for your biggest client, what do you do? You bring along 2 film cameras so you can make some photos that your client would hate. And you make a UA-cam video about it. And by “you” I mean “me.” Or “I” actually. Or “my” - you know, whichever word is grammatically correct for each of those sentences.
Sure, my artsy 6x6 and 6x17 photos on Kodak Portra may have no appeal to my client, but you know who loves ‘em? This guy. …I’m pointing at myself right now.
That’s because I love some good liminal space photos. You know liminal space? Liminal spaces are empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition, pertaining to the concept of liminality (thank you, Wikipedia). Well that’s kind of what this place is. So I took pictures of it.
Here are those pictures, along with some video. Enjoy!

You just saved me from buying a dedicated scanner but now I want to buy medium format cameras. 🤣🤣
theres one on washington blvd and redwood in culver city. pretty cool I think its an asian resturant now.
At first I thought this dude is stuck inside the Black Mesa facility
thank you so much for that video. helped me out
That’s ass
Phew! Glad you found the exit
try ...ptgui ......for stiching photos.....i regular in doing multi row panos of over 700 photos
Base of a mountain is huge, but the top is small. You are the top ( quality,content,humor...)
Looks like the set from Severence !!!!!
🙋🏼 I'm playing with Mr. Nick's camera while eating a nice strawberry popsicle and boom 💥 suddenly it melts and falls on top of the camera that i had around my neck. 🤭 But I smile at Mr. Nick and although he wants to grab my neck and squeeze it 🤭 he just acts cool 🤭.
He's so handsome... His hair. 🥰
Sir... Mr. Brent durand brings ,e here to avoid sin. He's... His hair 🤭🥰
Sir! 🙋🏼 Can u learn stuff like this and make shorts and teach us? 😬 ⬇️ Cus... Found this but looks g 8 if u know what i ,ean and his hair stuff implant didnt go welk 🤢 U r a bit more handsome 🤭⬇️ youtube.com/@cined?si=Oa2_eTbR7GAU91JZ
Beautiful work!
Nick, you don't take yourself too seriously and that's what I like about you....your laid-back, humble attitude draws me to your YT channel like a moth to a street light. Your photos are spectacular and I really enjoy the entire process from start to finish. Keep them coming!
That was such a relaxing watch!
Don’t just trust your printer, calibrate your monitor and profile your printer. That will always give you accurate results!
Sir! Sir ! 😱 Atacama desert 🏜️ ⬇️ I'm dead 😱ua-cam.com/video/IDzNnI3pfts/v-deo.htmlsi=JgBhbAkmC7UNNdys
Why do photography videos all have the same sad annoying music
I just stumbled across this video and it's super entertaining and I love your energy!
that wide shot is insane
outstanding advice. love this print and appreciate the effort from start to finish. taking the photograph is just the first of many phases to seeing your finished work hanging on the wall. thanks
My wife hates me a little bit more for every photobook I buy. Now I love my wife, of course, but I cannot wait to buy Dead Inside. Can you please hurry up, but take your time.
I saw your video in the suggestions. I do not intend to buy a printer whatsoever. But I was curious. And oh boy these were 15 minutes well spent because I genuinely laughed watching your video, not the 'blowing air through my nose laugh' but rather 'hehe' laugh. You kept me interested in something I was not interested about in the first place. That's a lot of quality work, you're doing here. I am now going to explore your channel a bit more !
awesome man congratulations !
Nick, I have a close buddy who shoots (and fishes) with me often. And we travel around the back roads occasionally and always stay in a motel that has outdoor seating so that we can enjoy a wee dram and a fine stogie together. One of our frequent conversations on those trips begins with "Have you seen Nick's latest video?" We love your work, your videos, and wish there was more of both. Don't stop. Keep up the measured, vulnerable, intelligent approach to film photography. I hope your new exploration and trying new things will prove fulfilling to you. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be done with care and excellence. You've already gotten an outstanding start with having Shelby on. Home run, brother.
Very inspiring. Thank you!
Came to see this after seeing the 6x17 shot on Instagram. Great vid but i'm confused as to why I enjoyed something that made me feel mildly uncomfortable, cheers.
you are funny af and love the info
I dont like digital cameras BUT THIS $32,000 CAMERA IS AMAZING
I live on the Great Plains, in the Platte River Valley, on the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills. My home landscape cries out for 6x17 composition.
It might be fun to “practice” 6x17 composition on our existing digital images by setting the selection tool to a 6x17 aspect ratio and selecting various crops, with an eye to compositional improvement.
frickin' art this vid. Hugely inspiring to my lazy ass
Great photo - one of my all time favourites you've shot! Thank you for the absolutely awesome explanation behind the light and colour we see at sunset - I've never seen a proper explanation before. When I can afford the book (plus international postage) I will be getting a copy.
Thank you so much for the content you shared with all of us throughout those 11 years and my best wishes for the years to come. I have been a photographer for quite some time and had been following dozens of channels on youtube since 2008is. 99% of those are not interesting to me anymore and no longer subscribed to because most just follow trends, make content just to make content, exist just to make profit through gear advertisement and all the usual YT madness and bs. I guess what I'm trying to say I thing your in it for the log run and maybe your viewers are the same way too.
🤭🤭🤭 im reproducing images of you with my AI 🤭🤭🤭 ... Gotta say, u look slightly better as invisiones or whatever by Designer AI 🤭🤭🤭
As I recall, the G617 had a (hard to find?) filter with a central gradient, due to light fall-off at the corners. Is this an issue with just SOME lenses or apertures? Is it easier to deal with (correcting a scan digitally) these days?
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
2024 still great and got me up and running! Many thanks 🙏
Surrounding them in white made them worse, I double checked by taking a screen grab and reversing it.
So glad I'm not the only one who bumps his tripod and has to start again!
Very very, useful, thanks!
Im just starting some 6x12 shooting, or as I like to call it....5 less than Nick Carver. My gf is like...what are you shooting today? "Five less than Nick Carver" LOL Im using a 6x12 back I got in a darkroom cleanout a few years back during the time that shall not be mentioned, on my Chamonix 4x5....toying with the idea of buying a 6x17 adapter or just saving for a shen hao.....
Just got into photography and now I want a printer 😂 great video and humour. I'm dead inside and I still cracked a smile multiple times
Hey ,great video! Just wondering what type of center ND filters are those?
Why the captions? It blanked out some of the picture and personally find it irritating.
Honestly the photos don’t even look real, that’s how crazy film cameras are. This made me want to save up for a film camera after I buy my 5D MKII
Being a photographer, it's one of my biggest dreams to create and sell my own zines. Only being 3ish years into photography, being 22 and having no audience, I can't see that happening any time soon
Sir! 🙋🏼 I think u need to go to Albuquerque, NM . 🤭 I sort of kinda think Ur format might like it 😎
I´ve visitted Pripyat/Chornobyl in 2017. Of course we visitted that famous hospital ... The only room I get across and spend my time was the radiology where I found plenty of exposed medium format film negatives of x-rayed chests and lungs ... creepy but a legit purpose of a radiology I guess... I love your work, your channel, your way of storytelling. Awesome.
