Ellen at home

A few months ago I had met up with Ellen because I had some new film to shoot from Lomography.com but since I was only using one roll for a test use of the roll, I figured why not shoot some digital as well.

Something that was exciting for me on this shoot was when Ellen asked “would you want to come to my new house and shoot there?” Pft, of course! I really enjoy shooting inside with natural light, more than shooting outside with natural light. The contrast and colors with available light are some of my favorite things about having shoots inside. Another plus of shooting indoor portraits is that it adds a some comfort to the subjects, they are somewhere they know and is personal to them.

Anyways, here is the digital set. I think I will create a separate post that holds the roll of film I test shot with my Rolleiflex!

Quincee Lark

A couple of weeks back Quincee and I had met up at her home to create. It had been awhile that I had created something for me. I always enjoy photographing portraits in a home. Lighting can be more dramatic, contrasty or help show off more of the persons personality.

Aside form shooting digital, I brought my Pentax 6x7 and Pentax K1000. I shot one roll of Portra 400 @ 400. For the K1000 I used Lomography's limited release of its F2/400 film. It was the first roll of 10 I bought. And to be honest it's not a film I will just use for whatever. Sort of like the fine china or special booze. Only break it out for special occasions! After developing at a local lab I scanned here at home on my Epson V600 and cleaned up in PS.
