Roll 18

April 22, 2016 in Film Photography

I'm pretty excited about this roll! I love taking my film cameras around to just document my experiences. You'll see that these are a mix of places I went and people I spent time with.

I had been dying to shoot at Everlanes new space. I was invited to a private event to see their new showroom and to learn more about the process of how they produce some of their products. Their space is a photographers dream!

I also checked out the Pace Gallery to see the Teamlab exhibit. It was a stunning visual display of art and technology. I was amazed how well the Kodak Portra 400 handled the low light conditions. I will say though, it was a bit difficult to focus the Leica in such low light conditions!

I'd love to hear your thoughts down in the comment section and which image was your favorite!

Film: Kodak Portra 400 +1

When I get rolls like this back from the lab, I think to myself this is why I shoot film! One thing I can't get over when I look at film photos is the emotion it is able to capture. It's as if the images have a soul, a cinematic feel that they will come to life.

This roll is basically split into two halfs. The first half are shots from the Beach Blanket Babylon Musical I attended, but I've decided to only share a couple images since I am writing separate blog on the experience.

The second half of this roll was shot with the beautiful model, Emma Anita. Emma was visiting from out of town and I planned two locations that I thought would suit her look and would guarantee amazing shots. We first shot at the Conservatory of Flowers, which is one of my favorite spots in the city. You'll see much more of Emma in the next roll!

I'd love to hear what your favorite image is down in the comment section!

Roll 15

I love how film takes me around this beautiful city of San Francisco. No matter where I go or who I'm with I like to have my Leica M7 by my side. One thing I love about film is every occasion makes for a great film snap.

One of my favorite shots from this roll is of a friend I met through Instagram. Ana Maria and I originally got to know each other from a postcard project I did through Insatgram and I'm pretty sure she's the only person I know who is from Aruba! I was super excited when she told me she'd be in San Francisco for a couple days. We met at Sutro Bath for sunset and went to dinner. I love how an app can bring people together, even from such tiny countries like Aruba!

Hope you guys enjoy this roll! Let me know what your favorite is down in the comments. It's always nice to see what film shots you guys like the best.

Roll 14

Film: Kodak Portra 160

Since shooting film I've sent off three batches of film to Indie Film Labs. This is the first roll of the latest batch and I must say I'm in love with this roll. The pastel colors just scream film! Everything looks so rich and I love how fine the grain is. I was also happy that I'm finally getting the hang of getting correct exposures. I've been spending much more time spot metering individual shots.

I was super excited to finally work with Laura Stern Tooper and in such great locations. The lighting was beyond perfect and I love working with someone that just reads your mind when it comes to style and posing.

These next few rolls are among my favorite and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Roll 13

Developing film is a bit different than when I was younger. Mostly gone are the 1 hour labs you could once find on any block. Gone are the days when you'd pick up your film under the letter of your last name in a huge roll out drawer. Gone are the days of those weird sticky envelopes that your prints and negatives would be returned in. We're in an age of scans, so images can go staight to social media. I miss the days of prints and holding a physical photo in my hand.

This last roll is full of fog and a beautiful model I worked with. Jamie is a bit of a Cara Delevingne, Victora Secret, look alike. She's a true pleasure to work with and the laughs never cease to end when we're together.

Enjoy!

P.S. What are your thoughts on switching colored film shots to b&w?
