agf Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Several Magnum photographers shoot digital now. To name a few that come up to my mind: Alex Majoli, Ferdinando Scianna, Thomas Dworzak, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Chris Steele- Perkins, Harry Gruyaert, Donovan Wylie, Stuart Franklin, Eli Reed, David Alan Harvey and sure others. Check them out on: http://www.magnumphotos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Taylor Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Carl DeKeyzer, Philip Jones Griffith... And 99.999% of newswire photojournos. I had a friend who was shooting in Baghdad thru much of 2002-03 and she didn't meet one shooter using film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin.e Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Photojournalists using film exclusively as a medium would be in an extremely small minority in these times, So many members of the Magnum Collective would be Digital users as well.

craig_shearman1 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't personally know anyone with Magnum but I work on Capitol Hill in Washington. Virtually 100 percent of news photographers shoot digital and have for probably five years or more. Occasionally you will see someone using film for some type of long-term magazine or book project but in terms of day-to-day news photography I can't recall the last time I saw anyone shooting film. The Senate Press Photographers Gallery, which is home to photographers shooting both the House and Senate despite its name, used to have three darkrooms. As of five years ago, two were shut down and the third was gathering dust. Not sure if it's even still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiva_kumar Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I haven't met him, but I know from reading about him that Alex Majoli uses the Olympus C series quite extensively. More on that<a href="http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-6468-7844" target="_blank">here</a><br><br>Goes to show that a talented photographer can use any camera to make great photographs !<br><br> In 2004, I took one of Costa Manos' workshop. He was still reluctant to switch to Digital. I ended up switching to Leica M6 and bought one off of him :) <br/>A year later, I met Alex Webb at a Seminar in Boston. He still had not switched at that time either.<br><a href="http://theshiva.us/travelblog/archive/2006/09/24/folsom-street-fair-san-francisco-2006-images.aspx">-the shiva</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
