It’s been a while, but here’s some b&w film for ya

Over the last 3 months, my life has changed drastically. I went from strictly shooting photos, to small business consulting, to a brief stint working at Starbucks, and back to creative work. Currently I’m working part time with a company called Ioda Media doing art direction. The other half of the time, I’m doing some marketing gigs.

Anyway, here are some pictures from the last 3 months taken randomly on my Voigtländer Bessamatic.

And a few random portraits from the same roll…

Sarah — a fun portrait in the street

The other day I had to shoot 6 photographs to finish a roll of film that I had loaded months earlier. Unfortunately this happens all to often when I start using a new camera. So I called up a friend of mine and walked around her neighborhood. It was a cloudy day, so the Kodak Portra 160 produced a pretty flat image, but the grain is so smooth. I need to use this camera more. The quality always impresses me. Here’s a fun picture from the 6.

Ryan at Sunset — The Brenizer Method

A few days ago I read a blog post about the Brenizer Method. It’s a strange portrait technique where you take multiple pictures of your subject and stich them together. The camera settings and focus remain the same. Then simply do a photomerge in Photoshop, as if you were going to make a panorama. The results generally turn out as a wide-angle shot with extremely shallow depth of field.

This is my first attempt, and it doesn’t really do the effect justice. I’ll keep trying and get one up soon.

The Impossible Project in Black and White

Over the last year, I’ve been experimenting with The Impossible Project Polaroid film. Although it’s one of the hardest films to create with, the results are always interesting. I recently picked up a few packs of silver shade film with the black matte frame. Here are a few of my first shots!
