PsdFilm: How long have you been in photography?
Manny:
Actually 37 years. Yeah, I'm an old guy! (laughs).

P: Why do you think your images are successful?
M:
I have no idea (laughs). I like to think it's because I capture the right moment.
I don't really pose people. I like for them to be themselves and I just look for that moment.

P: Why do you like the look of vintage films?
M:
I love film grain. There is just something magical about it. Grain has always been a part of photography for me. My favorite film to this day is Kodak Tri-X. I shoot it at 400, 800 and even 1600. Grain just adds something.

P: How does PsdFilm helps you in your workflow?
M:
PsdFilm gives me the look I'm after. It makes my images look like film. After I get the image looking the way I want it to, PsdFilm is my last step, the finishing touch!.

M:
For black & white photography I prefer Tri-X and Tri-X (laughs) and for the color ones I choose Fujicolor Superia X-Tra 400.

P: Any advice for beginners?
M:
Shot, shot, shot… Never take your camera off manual. And then shot some more. Equipment doesn't really matter.
