Roll 31

I love when I get to shoot portraits outdoors. It combines my two favorite passions in photography. Being in nature without distractions is  like shooting in a private studio and really helps me push my creative outlets. 

If you've been following this film roll series you must know Abby is one of my favorite models to work with. I've shot many rolls of her and she never fails to inspire me when we shoot. The friendship we have had really pushed what we are to to create together to another level. 

i hope you enjoy this roll and as always it's great to hear which photo is your favorite from a roll.

Roll 29&30

These two rolls are a continuation of the past roll which feature Mari and Daneé. Some of these images are the favorite shots I've ever taken. I was blown away from the colors of these, especially the shots in the bathroom. The greens just scream film to me and I honestly wished I would have taken a few more shots, but the light was so low, I wasn't sure if they'd turn out. I still wasn't use to shooting handheld at 1/15th  and 1/30th of a sec, but now have learned that the Leica rangefinder and their cloth shutters allow for much less vibration, which helps with handheld shooting in low light situations. 

As always I love hearing which photo is your favorite in the comments below! I have tons of rolls to share, so don't forget to subscribe.

Roll 24

I like getting rolls back that have a bit of a mix. It reminds me of my early days of film. You'd bring your camera to just snap a few photos here and there. By the time you had your photos processed and got them back it was like Christmas. You had an idea what you might be getting, but weren't quite sure.  

This roll ended up being a bit short because I had some difficulties with my camera. Somehow the top plate of the Leica became loose and after about 28 exposures I could no longer advance the film and had a heck of a time rewinding the roll. Fortunately my local camera store was able to take apart the rewind knob and clean all the washers and made a thread lock, so nothing could get loose again. Since the repair the rewind know has been smoother than ever and haven't had any issues since.  

I'd love to hear in the comments which image is your favorite and don't forget to subscribe! I have lots of amazing rolls coming up!

Roll 20

Film: Kodak Portra 160 +1

I got 10 rolls back this week and couldn't be more excited! I was also waiting for this roll to come back because I mailed in some rolls out of order for development. I think this is one of my best rolls to date. I've mentioned in the past and I'll reiterate it, but metering shots is so important. I've found this to be the key to getting back nicely exposed rolls. In camera meters can be inaccurate in certain lighting conditions, so it's really important to either spot meter with your camera or use a handheld light meter.  

I always enjoy shooting with people I've built a relationship with. Abby and I have worked together many times and we're always pushing ourselves to create amazing new content. I feel like I say this all the time, but this is one of my favorite rolls to date. 

Let me know in the comments which image is your favorite. I've decided to stick with sharing the entire roll, either good or bad.

Roll 19

Film: Kodak Portra 160

For those of you who are new to my blog, I just started shooting film this past December after an 11 year break. I had no idea how many rolls I would shoot, or what type of photography I'd work with when it came to film.

As you can probably tell I've been shooting a ton of portraits with film and lately I've been doing some film only shoots. Once I started using it more, I fell in love with the look and feel of film. I feel I have more control of my images now since I do shoot everything manually. I spot meter my subject, select the shutter speeds and aperture and manually focus. I'm starting to see the the final images in my head when I shoot them. It's an amazing feeling to be able to truely create an image in this format. 

I'm doing things a bit different with this roll. In the past I had only been sharing roughly 10 images from each roll, but lately I've gotten some requests to post the entire roll. Let me know in the comments if you want to see more of each roll, or if it's a bit overwhelming.
