Images from a recent shoot for Veronika Mikan Nightwear. All the photographs were made using the same camera, lens and film combination with natural daylight – Pentax 67, 105mm and Fuji Pro 400H film. 400H is a very versatile emulsion and various looks can be achieved by deliberately over or underexposing it. I rate the film at 250 ISO and work around that. Overexposure gives a very ‘clean’ fresh look, whereas underexposing creates a distinct magenta cast in the shadows. […]

Skinheads

April 6, 2018 by Phil Kneen Photography

I shot these images for Charlie Dickinson, who is currently studying for a BA Hons in Fashion Design at Middlesex University, London. Charlie decided, despite being strongly discouraged, to base her ‘zine project around the skinhead subculture of the 80’s and 90’s Great Britain. I’m glad she decided not to listen. I shot the project using a Nikon F100 paired with 50mm and 28mm lenses. I loaded out of date Kodacolar to give a more authentic look. Fashion Styling & […]

Jessica

August 29, 2016 by Phil Kneen Photography

In the 15 years since Jessica was born, I must have taken thousands of photographs of her; she’s now at the point where, most of the time, she doesn’t know, or care, that I’m taking her picture. When my daughter is aware, I’m photographing her, such as here, she has the most amazing sultry, ‘resting bitch face’ look; she can even raise one eyebrow when provoked, just like her Mum. This shoot was actually ‘commissioned’ by Jessica herself. Makeup and […]

Fish & Chips

February 7, 2016 by Phil Kneen Photography

Photographer, musician, sculptor, writer, architect… if you create anything, you will have your champions and you will have your detractors – the people who applaud when you succeed, and the people who applaud when you fail. Whatever it is you conceive and produce, someone will always cast negativity all over it. I’m not talking about constructive criticism here, or even indifference – I’m referring to the people who, no matter how technically and aesthetically perfect you think your concept and […]

Instax Gratification

December 8, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

Although my adoration for instant film comes in waves, my love for it will never die. At the moment I’m surfing a tsunami of infatuation for Fuji Instax, the only truly instant film still available. Obviously, I’m aware of the existence of other ‘instant’ emulsions – but peel apart is hardly accessible to the masses, and the glacial rate at which Impossible Project’s Polaroid replacement develops can hardly place any of its films in the ‘instant’ category. I’ve been using […]

‘horses for courses…

May 22, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

Both the images above of musician, Mae Challis, were made using a digital Canon EOS 5DmkIII and 50mm f1.0 lens – a lot of people think I’ve got this whole ‘anti-digital’ thing going-on – I haven’t, if I shot all my work, personal and commercial, on film I’d be bankrupt within about a week! I think people mistake digital and film photography as being the same medium, but it’s like saying pens and pencils are the same – they look […]

Girls

March 9, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’m mad busy at the moment, so I thought I’d just post a few of my favourite images from the last week or so. I’ve photographed a lot of ladies, from 18 months old to my 95-year-old grandmother on her birthday. Variation – it’s what I love about being a portrait photographer! All the shots below were made using film, I’m shooting with an old Pentax SP1000 and a Nikon FM2, both of which have light leaks that I don’t […]
