Frans Lanting fotografiert mit
Nikon D200 und Nikon D2X
(c) Frans Lanting
While no doubt a technical pioneer, Lanting has been slow to embrace digital photography, having switched over from his tried-and-true Fujifilm emulsions just last year. Nevertheless, he has made the transition without missing a beat, toting Nikon D2X and D200 camera bodies and a wide assortment of lenses, strobes and accessories into the field wherever he goes.
"The technology is there now," Lanting says.
In fact, he just returned from a photographic expedition to Antarctica and didn't expose a single roll of film on the trip, instead relying on digital capture for everything.
Despite his late switchover, Lanting nevertheless considers digital to be revolutionary, "because it has dramatically shortened the number of steps between a photographer's vision and the ability to gauge whether what he or she captured expresses that vision."
He also likes the fact that he no longer has to deal with film or processing labs, waiting for FedEx to show up or editing slides on clunky light tables. He now can handle most of these tasks himself in the field, via digital camera bodies and a lap- top. "It makes a huge difference, especially when you work in remote places for extended times like I do," he says.
"It's very empowering."
