Portraits on film offer a uniqueness in our digital world. 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 nature of film photography means that sessions are more intentional. The craft requires planning alongside an understanding of tone, composition, lighting and pose, to realise a series of images. That planning and intentionality means less time is wasted clicking away.
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.
