The Secret to Double Exposure Photography (Film and Digital)
Thanks for watching!
I suck at Polaroid Photography
I refreshed my SX-70 and took some bad polaroids for this video.
photography isn't fun anymore
5 things that suck the fun out of photography ^
Why film is better than digital
Basically a “photo dump” in a video of all the stuff I’ve been making with my Nikon FE lately.
Thanks for watching!
Why I bought a Polaroid 1-2
I’m finally back on instant film again now that the Polaroid I-2 exists! Watch the video to see what I think about it!
Here’s some of the first shots I got with it:
Instax Mini on a Medium Format Camera
Do you like medium format? Do you like medium format images shrunk down for no reason? Well if so, this video is for you!
How big can you print a 35mm negative?
I was curious about this because I like printing my images huge and I’ve never really tried to push a 35mm negative to see how it would do. Watch the video for the results!
The Key Ingredient for a GREAT Photo Series
In this episode, I talk about my ongoing 13 year photo series where I’ve been photographing the same spot. Looking through these images made me realize what makes a photo series really work, because often, I find myself trying WAY TOO HARD.
Thanks for watching!
I turned my truck into a pinhole camera
So…this was a pain. Did it work as imagined? No. Was it super fun? Also no. BUT I enjoyed going for it to see if this weird idea could work. Turns out, it kind of can, but would take far more work and customizations to get it just right. Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! (You can peep some of the photos below)
Shooting Day and Night in One Photo on 35mm Film (Cinestill 800T)
This was a super interesting experiment! I decided to mix up this multi-location Double Exposure series I’ve been working on by shooting 2 exposures at different times of day AND different locations. Overall, I liked most of the results.
The frequency of the videos will increase as I get a handle on this workflow. Thanks for watching!
Travel Photography is Boring
Everyone Uses The Same Camera (digging deeper for ideas and my new Nikon FE)
Hey! In this episode, I talk about how everyone uses the same film cameras, my new Nikon FE, and how we need to dig deeper for ideas.
New video coming soon!

This is it. The culmination of full time traveling in order to photograph small towns for The Small Town Photo Project.

Double Negative (a photography podcast by will malone)
As a follow-up to Photography is Dead, Will of the Future is a podcast where Will Malone looks to what’s next in the world of photography and creativity. BUT then I let it get too general and unfocused as like many things in my life. So we are back with the final name of this podcast: Double Negative (a photography podcast by will malone) where I talk about issues revolving around the photography world today and explore this new era of my own photography work. Topics to include: film in the modern day, AI, selling prints, and much much more.
Episode 1 is out! In this episode, I talk about keeping my eye on the ball of what my actual artistic goals vs. spending time promoting what I’m doing on social media. In this episode, I talk about the balance of that.
Also, we’re back to audio-only which I much prefer. Enjoy as I finally find some momentum in podcasting and photography again.
