This is another example of a happy accident on film. I shot over and over on the last frame of the roll I was using, it looks like a Photoshop collage but it’s just multiple photos shot on top of each other. This one worked out really well and I love the textures of the...

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...
