In this episode of Negative Influence, we sit down with Keaton O’Neill, better known online as MetalFingers. A photographer and filmmaker who’s built a following around his honest approach to shooting, storytelling, and staying creative in the algorithm age, while keeping us updated on all the breaking film photography news.

We talk about the intersection of film photography and YouTube, how community shapes creativity, and why slowing down still matters when everything else moves fast. From chasing light to managing burnout, Keaton opens up about the realities of making art online and finding meaning behind the lens.
