Tuesday Ride

Sometimes you just have to go looking for something to shoot, and sometimes you just have to stop and ask.
Well in my pursuit to finish off a few rolls of film from the previous weeks wedding I went out looking for something to shoot.
Not really happy with I had found I was about to give up when I came upon this woman on her horse. I stopped in the drive way and explained that I needed to finish off my film and asked if she mind that I shoot a few pictures of her and her horse. Well as it turned out She is a model, and works regularly for wrangler and has a verizon commercial coming out. I just had to chuckle because you just never know what you will
find or who you run into when you just take the time to look.

These are a few of the shots, unedited, I have a light leek in my dark room and these shots the result of light spilling onto the film.
I love the effect, even though the shots are not what I was expecting I am glad for what i call happy mistakes. With film sometimes you just have to take it in stride.

Lauren + Matt Wedding Caught on Film

August 17th, 2010 | Posted in Blog, Film, Recent Work, Wedding Photography | No Comments

Lauren and Matt wedding photos captured on film. This is just a small sample of the wedding day photos, most of the images are captured digitally, but I like the look of film and its warm personal qualities. I will shoot a few rolls of film using some pretty vintage cameras. I keep thinking if I use different equipment it will help me to think differently about how I capture an event. One camera may perform better in certain lighting conditions than another. Also I think that a lot of the wedding photography offered today has a similar style or look and feel. Part of that is because everyone is using the same gear. I think that the look from my 1967 Nikon FTN is drastically different than what is produced by my 1961 Yashica rangefinder and even more diverse is the digital images from my Canon 5D mark II.

The photographer is still the ultimate factor in great photography, but like a painter painting a picture with one brush, wedding photography shot with one camera can be dull and repetitive.

Friday Night Lights and Film Photography

August 2nd, 2010 | Posted in Blog, Film, Personal Work, Uncategorized | No Comments

Here are some of my favorite shots from last weeks work. Most of them are shot with film cameras but I have two digital shots in there as well. I love the dirt and scratches in the film photos. Also the Black and white film shots have soo much detail in the mid and dark tones it is really a benefit to underexpose this film. That detail is just the something that digital cannot capture. I love film.
