Given the right skills, tools and time in either field,
one can do pretty much the same things in argentic vs.
digital photography.
Photography is not about capturing a "true representation"
of a scene, but about visualization. That's what the
zone system is about.
Argentic photography reduces a scene to tones and colors
captured on film, in digital it's not the film but an
electronic light sensitive device. The characteristics
differ, but in both cases, brightness values in the
scene are mapped to brightness values on film/sensor.
This mapping is never linear, so "true representation"
doesn't exist.
