The list of those who shoot 35mm (only or mostly) for advertising would be long. For old timers: Jay Maisel, Pete Turner. Richard Hamilton Smith, David Stoecklein, Al Satterwhite, Jeff Smith, Jody Dole and many more I can't think of immediately. And most advertising stock photography of people and places is 35mm. I spoke a while back with Peter Miller in LA. He does Nike stuff including billboards. "If I can't shoot 35mm, they'll have to get someone else," he said. Another photographer from NYC once told me he had just bought medium format--for clients outside NYC who still didn't understand. donal (who shot 4x5 for the first time in a long time on Friday--of a building--and will be paying rent on time!). - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
