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.
The Polaroid Flip is awesome. Polaroid's film formulation is still pretty inconsistent and annoying sometimes. The desert is really hot. National Parks aren't my vibe.

In this episode, I talk about finding interesting subjects for photography EVERYWHERE you are, whether you're in a shopping center parking lot or New York City. Basically, you have to pay attention, be INTERESTED, and embrace REAL LIFE.

So...this new genre of travel content I've been trying to make has not been going well. I'm a photographer, and trying to make travel videos without photography feels unnatural and impossible. Join me in this episode on a journey to eat some Yogi Bear fried chicken as well as an exploration of one of the most depressing roadside attractions I've ever experienced. Oh, and I couldn't help myself and I got some pretty cool photos and Polaroids along the way.

The Polaroid Flip seems like a really great option for someone looking for a solid Polaroid camera that isn't quite as high end as the Polaroid I-2. I ordered one, and I'm excited to put it through its paces, but I wanted to give my first impressions in this bonus podcast episode!

A few months ago, I started a silly photo project where I started photographing abandoned shopping carts I'd find in parking lots. But then, I started wandering into the woods and stumbled upon an entirely new world of shopping carts as evidence of a growing homeless problem in my town. It's a complicated issue, but I'm interested to see where else this project takes me. In this episode, I also talk about the 2 different types of photographers, and a my new approach to exploration and travel.

Busy-ness is the ultimate killer of creativity, especially when we're letting life wheel us around instead of being more thoughtful about how we spend our time. Speaking of which, I talk about a photo project I've been noodling on for over a year now, as well as why getting engagement on social media may actually not be a great thing all the time.

Photographers are used to the idea of an unstable future, and tariffs on photography gear just got added to the pile.

Being able to travel with minimal equipment as a photographer isn't about simply packing less, it's also a state of mind. It's a way of avoiding anxiety and being honest with our fears that lead us to bring far too much gear whenever we go on a journey. In this episode, I touch on the practicalities of one bag travel, but mostly talk about my philosophy about photography minimalism that ends up yielding better work.

I struggle with shooting photos in New York City. Street photography just isn't my thing, and I want to avoid the obviously tourist-y shots. That said, last week, I went to New York City and I feel like I cracked the code for myself on how to get satisfying images while traveling. Wanted to share my thoughts and photos with you!

I rant about the risk aversion that has become acceptable in the creative community. Anytime we veer out of our lane and try something new, we have to lower our expectations with how people react, but that shouldn't keep us from trying new things. Everyone is afraid of the dreaded "low engagement" and it's keeping people from following their curiosity in trying new things with their work. Quit worrying! Creative Risks will always make our work better!

Social media and the current photography landscape does not incentivize experimentation in our work. It's much more comfortable to find a visual style and stick with it so we can have a curated grid that keeps us in a box. In this episode, I talk about the important pillars of experimenting in our photography and how we can go against the grain of what culture tells us, and even provide validation within ourselves instead of seeking it from outside viewers.

I've been digging into postcard history and it's been a really interesting experience. After going on a deep dive of the popularity postcards in the early 1900s it inspired my next big photo project where I document abandoned shopping carts...among other things.BUY MY POSTCARD PACKS HERE: https://willmalone.com/collections/postcardsShopping Cart CRIMES: https://youtu.be/qDqwlBlEfkcBATHROOM PHOTOGRAPHY: https://youtu.be/-V0JXZO2VFYSubscribe to the Double Negative Dispatch: https://doublenegativedispatch.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/willmalone/Polaroid Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everydayinstant/Thanks for listening!
If you only watch or pay attention to the biggest photographers, you'll be caught in an idea cycle where you are only limited to a few options. Study history, get off your phone, and dig deeper to find better ideas. Also, I rant about the current state of "family portraits".

I looked through my archive starting in 2009 and OH BOY did I learn a lot about myself. My photography exposed me and what I'm actually looking for.

The End of Film Photography? Maybe. Probably not. Also, I talk about The Brutalist and how saying it was shot on film is ensuring that no one watches it. And no one cares if your photos are shot on film or not either.

I had an epiphany about my own photography style recently while waiting to watch the newest episode of Landman. The waiting for the new episode of Landman part isn't relevant, I don't know why I brought that up. Anyway! Hope this podcast is helpful!
