Right now I’m loving the unique look of experimental film stocks like Lomochrome Purple! The skin tones are left mostly accurate while anything green comes out as purple.

I’m loving the way that Kodak Gold 35mm makes images that feel like my childhood. There’s an authenticity to it that feels counter to the hyper edited and artificial digital world.

I’ve also been experimenting with different methods of processing black and white film to get different kinds of looks. You can control things like how much grain comes through to get either clean, modern images or vintage character.

35mm is your classic film format. This generally offers more shots per roll with more grain and texture. Medium format is a much larger size and gives you more resolution and fine detail along with the “medium format look” on the focus falloff.

For medium format film projects in parks and homes I depend on the Hasselblad 500c/m system to get beautiful renditions with tons of detail on medium format 120 film. On the trail or if the look requires 35mm film, then I use either the Canon FD for vintage glass or Leica for modern Voigtlander lenses.

For digital I go with the Fujifilm system where we get to choose between their excellent lenses for more clarity and some art lenses for more character.

All film and digital photos are delivered via a download link. Prints are available at-cost from a local lab. You can order those through me or directly from them.

The packages list the minimum number of pictures to be delivered, but don’t be surprised if you end up with a few more. I’m building a bit of a buffer in case some of the pictures don’t come out or we get tight on time. I’d rather under-promise and over-deliver.

Every picture in my portfolio comes with the explicit consent of the people involved. Privacy and ease of mind are very important values for me. If you’re even a little on the fence about it, I’d rather not use your photos.

My reaction to the perfectly photoshopped images and instant AI image generation has been to lean even harder into what feels real to me. I want to be authentic to the film look as much as possible, only correcting for things like white balance and lights & shadows. The same philosophy applies to how the digital cameras capture the world. It’s the photos with unique charm and character that I find myself cherishing the most.
