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 | 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...
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...
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...
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...
More Daikanyama
A few more photos from my random walk through the side streets of fashionable Daikanyama. I’ve changed the format of the photo sizes so let me know if it bothers you. Contax 645, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2, Fuji Pro 400H film.
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...
Old Jack Frost
Just got some film scans back and have some great stuff to post over the next couple of weeks. These were shot around where we are living in Tokyo, only 8 weeks left until I will be back in New Zealand and shooting the first hopefully of many weddings to come. Hope you enjoy these...
