Sisters.

Three amazing Henrie sisters all photographed in one location. It had almost happened once before but Olivia turned me down on behalf of the entire Henrie family to participate in my Peter Pan shoot. Oh well, but late than never, I give you Lilian, Monica and Olivia.

All images shot with Iford 3200 Film on a Contax 645 with available light.

Film is blowing my mind

I just got my first roll back from my new contax 645 and it’s blowing my mind. A huge thanks to Jonathan Canlas for finding the camera for me. I got an almost brand new contax, the 80mm f2.0 lens (which has unbelievable DoF), the battery grip and an extra back for $1100. As far as I can tell it’s worth about 2K on ebay. Jonathan also helped me develop and scan the roll of film. Another huge thanks to Amber Weimer for taking some great shots, coming up with everything about the concept, all the wardrobe and doing my makeup! A final thank you to Rebekah Westover for taking a few more shots and being awesome in general.

These shots were all taken on the 80mm lens at f2.0 on Fuji 400H 220 film. My favorite thing about film so far is how it handles highlights. Blown out digital highlights are disgusting unto me and I love the texture film keeps in the brightest areas.

Anyone else out there giving film a try?

Okay I know I suck at blogging but I am going to get better even if it’s only short posts each day. Lately I have been shooting almost exclusively film. I bought a Polaroid 600se instant film camera and a contax 645. The instant film is a blast and I’m sure the contax will be as soon as it arrives, curse you california.

I wanted to share some fun shots of late that were shot all on medium format film! I guess it really isnt dead.
