During breaks in his busy touring schedule with the band White Lies, photographer Charles Cave spends his spare time immersed in photography. Taking his analogue film camera with him around the local area, documenting the ongoings of everyday life and moments of quiet distress, exploring the often-overlooked aspects of reality.
Using the SIGMA fp and adapting vintage lenses onto it, Charles has curated for us an exclusive series of photos, to see if he can replicate his photography style using a digital body, as he looks to expand his creative possibilities. Charles has also used the 4K video capabilities of the SIGMA fp to film shorts for his bands latest track “Trouble in America”.
The SIGMA fp is designed so users can use it however they want. With a variety of setup styles covering street photography to professional Cine video productions. Its snap style is what drew Charles towards the fp as it resembles the sensibilities of analogue film at its heart.
“With film photography you will never know how photos will look before they are processed. You are reliant on your camera settings, type of film used and processing technique. These processes translate over to digital photography but not always exactly the same. I love the design of the SIGMA fp. Totally unfussy. Uncluttered. Pure.”
