Tomahawk

May 11, 2013 by Phil Kneen Photography

Rob Smith, artist and sometime actor/model – I photographed Rob as part of my ‘Scar Tissue’ project, I won’t tell you where his scar is, but I’ll give you one clue as to how he got it – Tomahawk… This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed Rob, he sat in the big leather armchair a few months ago, another project that I’m part-way through. Rob’s a great model, he knows exactly what to do, or more importantly, what not to […]

I’m having a love/hate relationship with a Fuji X-Pro1 digital camera & 35mm 1.4 lens. Most of the hates are minor – the exposure compensation dial is very easy the knock out, but I solved that the way I do with a lot other other loose dials – gaffer tape. All the other hates are so minor I can’t even remember what they are…?…anyway, the BIG negative – the focusing. I did the 2.03 firmware update yesterday, the one that, […]

Black & White Strypes

December 4, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’d planned to get more shots of The Strypes, but on the day I was in the grips of a most hideous bout of the ‘flu, by the time they’d got into their second song at 9.45pm, I was on my way home to die. All of the shots below were made using a Nikon FM3a, 35mm f2 lens. I hung-around during sound-check, but only managed to shoot one roll of film, a single roll of Kodak Tri-X 400, pushed […]

35mm

January 19, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I haven’t used a 35mm camera for a while, when I’m shooting film I shoot medium format. A couple of weeks ago I borrowed a Nikon FM3a camera, it’s a beautiful piece of kit. I only managed to shoot a couple of rolls before I had to give the camera back to Simon Campbell, the new and rightful owner (Simon has just been sucked into the addictive world of film photography) All shots – Nikon FM3a, 35mm f2 AIS lens […]
