Nathan works primarily with 35mm film, using both colour and black and white to explore different qualities of the street. Film encourages a slower and more deliberate way of working. Each frame carries a sense of intention, and the limitations of the medium create a deeper connection with the moment being photographed.
Colour film allows him to respond to light, atmosphere and the subtle palette of the city, while black and white removes those distractions and focuses attention on form, gesture and contrast. Both approaches reveal different aspects of the same everyday scenes.
Working with film also reinforces the idea that every photograph is a fragment of time that has already passed. The delay between exposure and development creates space for reflection, turning each image into a small, preserved record of a moment that will never exist in quite the same way again.
