Photographed with a Hasselblad 500c/m and Kodak Portra 400 speed film.

Devi and Window Light on Color Film

January 24, 2020 in Color Film, Nudes, Photo Sessions

Another photograph of the always fun to work with Devi. I had an itch on this particular day to photograph with a lot of color film and I’m really glad I did. The color tones turned out so warm and inviting which is something I really like about Kodak Portra.

I won’t deny a lot of aspects to this photograph were a bit of a challenge. The space we were in was pretty small and all I had with me was the 80mm lens for the Hasselblad. Not really ideal for working in small spaces so my options for angles and getting my dynamic with my compositions was limited. The lighting was a bit of a challenge too, especially given my…shall we say…lack of experience with color film. I wouldn’t say I don’t have any experience at all with color film, but anyone who looks at this blog even semi-regularly knows that the majority of my work is with black and white film.

I’m more than happy with the results here though and I hope anyone reading this enjoys as well!

I'm not going to say I miss the summer. But I sort of miss the summer. lol. I say this of course right before I put on three layers of clothes to bike to work before the sun comes out. Oh well, at least coffee tastes like the most amazing thing on ea
Inside the rocks and dunes and formations of the earth. Actually, more just trying to angle the frame to get the least amount of bird poop in the final image as humanly possible.

I'm back home after some wonderful travel time. Back to the grind today. I'm hoping to ease into regular life but I have a feeling it's going to feel more like a wrecking ball crashing into my brain.

I think I've officially hit that age when I can no longer keep up with the changing world. I honestly don't think this is a bad thing necessarily. If the world wants AI, and smart watches, and META glasses, it can have it. I'll just be doing my thing
This was one of those days that felt like summer before summer was the cool kid in the class.

Making photographs in blank spaces is always such a different mindset. Not necessarily bad, or good, or better, or worse, just different.

I can pull off a cowboy hat sometimes. I like to walk around in a flannel shirt and a ten gallon hat and a camera attached to my hip. All I'm missing is the horse. Evidently my cool factor only goes to 8 and not to 11.

I always find the lighting on the hottest days to be the most difficult to work with. A little bit of persistence always wins the day though, which seems to be my theme lately.

It was colder than we would have liked, and the light was dimmer than I expected, but with a little perseverance we managed to make it all work. Sometimes that is what you've got to do. If that wasn't the case, we probably wouldn't do it all.
