That is a very interesting explanation. I prefer looking at images with grain. I wonder if that is why.
Where have you found the explanation? Is it something you have inferred yourself or has it been studied?
- Puts 4y agoTexture is a visual ingredient just like color or form – and if you see it this way it's nothing strange adding it in post. Basically any analog method of visual reproduction adds some form of texture as a byproduct, but not digital screens. Yet think of a paper, it's the texture in the paper that makes it real, that it appears as something you can touch.
- q-base 4y agoI agree and have no qualms about adding it either in post or by deliberately shooting high ISO to enhance the grain.
- irae 4y agoThe reason to prefer grain would also be a good question. The recent return to analog photos we are observing recently might be caused by a shared preference for grain and other aspects of the film process. I was going to suggest this preference would likely be correlated to age, but most film enthusiast blogs/instagram I've seen are from people in their 20s. So my current theory is that photo/cinema enthusiasts are overly exposed to this visual look, since they get inspired by masters of the past, and the sample of acclaimed photo/cinema artists have to be still larger on the film media. And, direction, post production and stakeholders in Hollywood would also have this bias and welcome like to continue producing material with this looks.
