Girls On Film

All images of Megan and Laura were made using various cameras and either Kodak Portra 400 or Fuji Superia 400 film.

Six Four Five

6×4.5cm – it’s the ‘middle child syndrome’ of the film world; stuck between 35mm and 6x7cm, it tends to get overlooked and somewhat neglected.

I think that’s as far as I need to explain that. The other reason is that I still haven’t got my head around the square composition of the Hasselblad again, after years of shooting 35mm and various none-square medium formats. Something […]
