I really enjoy using film for my portraits. Its not always appropriate to use a film camera, but I often try to use one of collection of old vintage cameras when shooting portraits. Using an old camera tends to slow down the tempo of the session, allowing for a more sensitive and delicate approach. On this occasion I used a Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera and Ilford Ortho Plus film.
From one of my favourite sessions in recent times, a simple one light portrait, lit to accentuate the subjects cheek bones and flatter her skin.
Old cameras, with old lenses, offer an alternative view of life. Shot using an 80 year old camera, on expired film, using my signature one light set up.
Simple portrait of Charlotte using just one light.
Probably one of the most talented Graphic Designers I have ever met. Brooke works primarily in illustration, but also has a keen interest in film photography, so using my old Mamiya seemed apprpriate.
Simple lighting, unassuming wardrobe, and just enough tension in the expression equals an amazing headshot.
With stunning red hair, I had to process a few colour images.
