Kodak Portra 800 with Lydia

in filmphotography •  22 hours ago

    Lydia is currently taking some photography classes in her high school program, so it was natural that I just HAD to shoot at least one roll of film when we did her Senior photos. She then asked if there was any way she could get the film stock after it was processed to play around with scanning and printing some herself. I said "Of course!".

    It just so happened that mother nature had provided a nice early snow that we thought would pair well with a red maple tree that still had color showing. That in addition to a local coffee shop that is always willing to allow us to shoot inside and have some fun yielded some great photos of Lydia.

    She noted that her style and interest were definitely in the K-Pop world, so we thought the film shots really spoke well to that styling. She enjoys soft photos at times with movement and motion blur. This is popular with many, but as a photographer, its often hard to train yourself that it's ok to have a blurry photo! That goes against everything we've been taught historically, so I didn't stray to far into that realm with the film, but we deliver some in digital that are not reflected in this post. At roughly $2.50 per image for processing, scanning, etc it's pretty hard for me to experiment these days with medium format film :D
