As new school as a photographer Nigel Barker seems in his photography, it’s still evident that he loves film. Nigel’s favorite camera is the old school Mamiya RB67 Pro II–a camera that we included on our list of some of the best ever made. He calls it a beast of a camera and the one that he loved to work with until digital came around and changed the game. Nigel mostly shoots with Sony DSLRs these days, but he also worked with Mamiya medium format DSLRs when they first came to America and he was on America’s Next Top Model.

Hearing Nigel talk about the camera and his work is much better than our summary though, and the video is after the jump.
