Time to shoot!

Stocked up on film for an intensive bout of photography and developing this summer. Planning to post a bit more often too.

Growing Collection

It’s been an awful long time since my last post and a lot has changed. My film camera collection has grown considerably and I now posses a range of Olympus OM camera’s as well as a few Zorki Russian rangefinders. I have also found that this year I have shot more film than digital, so I will be posting a lot more about film in the coming months.

Spending time with the Zorki 4.

I have been spending a lot of time with the Zorki 4 of late, trying to get the hang of it. It’s great fun!

Where’s the best place to go when it’s freezing cold, windy and raining? Why, the beach of course! Full credit to Yani who braved the elements.

Shooting with Meg, summer 2016. Ancient Greek feel to this...or maybe a shepherdess?

US Road Trip Project

So finally started my US road trip project. The project has been in planning for a long time and was inspired by images from various Vogue shoots. 

The project attempts to recreate some of the tacky and garish aspects of the US culture and fashion, with much emphasis on colour. The hardest part so far is finding locations that are ambiguous enough to create the feeling of an American location. And then there is of course the weather....

First shoot of the series can be found below.

A sunny bank holiday Friday and another amazing session with Megi. Our last minute arrangements always work out so well! Brighton Marina provided the venue.
