Portraits In Kensington

Today, a video of various portraits taken recently in Kensington Market, Toronto, with Fuji FP100C instant film, using the negatives after bleaching/reclaiming. I love the colours I get from this process!

Highs and Lows

What a week it was; as hinted at in a previous post, it was a technology vs. John week: camera malfunctions, and then a darkroom chemical drama that ruined an important roll of colour negative film. It seemed the entire week was one big Julia Child-esque “Teachable moment.” Time to focus on the highs though: I did get some nice Polaroid negative reclamations, such as this one:

and I was very happy with how my video of the vintage 20’s session turned out with Emily:

 

This week? I have two shoots booked, and I am determined to rock them both! I will not be defeated!!

Images and Music

Something I’ve wanted to do for a few months now is to combine photographs and music in a slideshow. The photographs are my favourites of female models, taken in 2011. It was an amazing year, tackling this kind of photography for the first time!
