finish with a bang

So here is the final post from this portrait session, to me these photos are the icing on the cake. The portraits in this post are some of my favourites. The first three were shot underneath a tree in the shade and the colours came out just as I saw them. I probably sound like...

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...

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...

I wish the weather was still like this

I don’t know where to begin in describing this photo. It was one of those moments when a magical scene unfolded with the most amazing light. Snapping this shot I wasn’t too sure if I had nailed the focus or not. Shooting with medium format at f/2 is often a real challenge so when I...

Places like these

I’m going to really miss photographing around areas like this. These were taken in Daikanyama, Tokyo, Japan. This area is quite well known for it’s great cafe’s and shopping. It’s a higher class area so it was fun to roam the back streets and find some really interesting houses and stores. I’ll be posting more...
