So here is the third installment from this portrait session. These were all taken with my recently purchased Hasselblad 500 CM. I was super happy when I got the scans back and saw that everything was fine with the camera. Some of the photos are almost too sharp… I will post more photos later in...

Portrait Session | Maasa Asano | II
Here’s the last of this part of the portrait session I shot. Next I will post some photos from the session taken with the Hasselblad and Contax medium format film cameras. Typically our portrait sessions go for around 3 hours, please contact me for prices. We will be in New Zealand from January 12th, 2010,...
Portrait Session | Maasa Asano | I
Here is the first lot of photos I’m posting up from the best portrait session I’ve ever had. It was a really beautiful day and we shot it all at Shinjuku Park in Tokyo. I used a range of my favourite cameras, all film of course. I shoot about 80 photos and nearly everyone came...
Hasselblad 500 CM
So, a couple of weeks ago I finally got my own Hasselblad. I ended up getting a Hasselblad 500 CM in black, Zeiss 80mm Planar T* f/2.8, 120 and 220 film backs, and polaroid 100 back. So far it has been a lot of fun using it, and a lot different to the medium format...
Addicted to bokeh and film
As the suspense for waiting on scans to come back builds I thought I’d put up a portrait of Eiko from about a month ago or so. This was when it wasn’t “freezing your nuts off” cold. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film.
Check my checks out
I’m not sure what it is about this photo but I absolutely love it. It’s a picture taken of me by Eiko. Maybe it’s the quintessential New Zealand farm shirt that I’m wearing or the cross-like shadow and light over the checks that I like… Let me know if I’m alone on liking this shot,...
Fujifilm natura 1600 rocks
Here’s some shots taken on Fuji Natura 1600 film. I shot this during the day and exposed it at ISO 400. The great thing about Fuji film is that it has really great latitude. I also used a neutral density filter so I could shoot wide open at f/1.1 some of the time. You can...
the weekend is here
Hope you have a great weekend and for those of you in the southern hemisphere I hope you’re making the most of the sun. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film.
Tokyo Design Week 2009
I have exhibited some of my design work at the previous two Tokyo Design Week’s, but this year I was just a visitor with a camera catching up with friends. We also checked out Design Tide where my good friend Koichi Okamoto from Kyouei Design was showing his amazing chair. So here’s a handful of...
Portrait Session – Maasa
Today I had another amazing portrait session with Maasa. You may remember her from an earlier shoot I did with Grant from New Zealand. The films are being developed and scanned and I’ll get them back in a couple of weeks. Here are a few Hasselblad polaroids from today. Hasselblad 500cm, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm...
