Ps What camera/film combination is the guy with the surf board? It has a really 3D quality to it. Awesome work.

All the images were made using a digital Fuji X-Pro1 and edited using VSCO software to give a film ‘look’. I chose to shoot this on digital because I wanted to manipulate the photographs to give them a stylised look that I can’t get using film.

Hi Phil, i casually stopped in your blog and now I feel lucky. this set is amazing. I love the surreal mood of the portraits, ironic and never stupid or trivial. the chose of tones and grain is perfect to improve the natural light tones. What else, really a GOOD work! i’ll keep on following your adds. Best

These are some great looking photos buddy. Thanks a ton for following. I like your stoic and awkward posing of the models. Such a quirky/popular style that great photographers are using. I like the way you handled that within this setting. Very unique. Take care man. -ALexander.
