Portraits on film offer a unique look and feel in today's world of digital images. Capturing a likeness on film feels authentic and real and tells a story about a person or a business that says they value creativity, craftsmanship and collaboration.
The limitations of film photography mean that sessions are more intentional. The experience builds on our shared planning and ideas alongside my experience with tone, composition, lighting and pose, to realise a series of images. That planning means less time is wasted clicking away recklessly.
I use a variety of cameras and film to create images. The choices are based on the practicalities and needs for the session as well as the expectations for the final image. 35mm, medium and large formats offer different outcomes and their unique properties can be used to enhance a portrait's ultimate look.
