Film Film Film Film

This wouldn’t and doesn’t look out of place at all in Tokyo where it was shot. Using film cameras and shooting film in Japan is surprisingly common, film is still living on with both amateurs and professionals. The store where I used to buy film was the size of any ‘decent’ camera store here in...

Summer in the middle of winter

I thought I would break up the wedding photography with a quick post from Tokyo. I shot this for Viviane three days before leaving Tokyo in Daikanyama. I love the feeling I get when looking at this photograph, it feels really warm although it was shot in the middle of winter. I’ll post some more...

Portrait Session | Maasa Asano | IV

Another location from the same portrait session with Maasa Asano. I can’t get over how a lot of these came out and they far exceeded Maasa’s expectations, and even my own. I got an “OMGGGGGG” response when she first saw the scans. I love the fact that I didn’t have to spend much time at...

Portrait Session | Maasa Asano | III

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...

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...

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...
