The things I saw #2

February 12, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

So, here’s a few more snapshots from my visual notebook, all taken in Spain during January, in no particular order. All shots were made using an Olympus MjuII 35mm compact and Agfa Vista 200 film. The only slight downside with shooting film is that there’s no metadata built-in to a negative to show where and when the image was taken or what settings were used, not that that’s important, but I’m not one for taking shot notes, so these images […]

I’m currently sitting-out a 24 hour Facebook ban for allegedly posting a ‘sexually explicit image’ (above). Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t see any genitals, or fully exposed buttocks or breasts? And there certainly isn’t any verbal descriptions of sexual acts? Sexual activity? Not with an ice lolly. No. All of the images in this article have been reported at one time through my Facebook page, some were removed, like the one above, others weren’t. I think […]

The £1000 film look.

I get asked, at least once a week “What camera should I buy?

In a year, one of two things will have happened – you’ll have got bored/disillusioned with digital because it doesn’t quite give you that ‘look’ you keep seeing OR you’ll have got […]

View from a Mju II

February 25, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I bought a second hand Olympus Mju II film camera a while back, these are a few photos from the first couple of rolls of Kodak Portra 160/400. I’m really inspired at the moment by the work of Ondra Loup, Bryan Ferry and Andi Otten (Otty the light stealer…), three photographers who use whatever cameras they have with them at the time to create beautiful images of everyday objects and situations.
