A short trip to a childhood summer holiday location, and loads of film, some old photos, and plenty of family, make for great photo and storytelling opportunities. Join me for a personal trip down memory lane.
Redscale film is all about experimenting, and that's exactly what I did. Join me for a "round the neighbourhood" photo walk in Frankfurt with some special custom redscale film from Nik & Trick!
The idea was simple: the same roll of film, 2 different cameras, 2 different people, and 2 different houses. The theme: Cabin Fever. Here are our impressions of Rollei RPX 100.
Wanting to practice more portrait style photography, I brought along my Hasselblad to an impromptu Frankfurt pub crawl, with surprisingly good results!
Experimental film brings unexpected results, so in that sense this week was a success. What was not a success was producing any photographs worth keeping, but it is all for fun at the end of the day!
I had been waiting to use this film for a while, but as it has such a low ISO, I needed a bright summer's day to allow me to shoot this film handheld. The reviews are all excellent, so I was looking forward to trying it out!
Continuing the theme of colours and flowers, where better to go than a botanical garden in Frankfurt to try out my new macro extender for my camera. Here is my first go at macro photography with a Hasselblad camera.
Wanting to take advantage of the bright Madrid summer days, I found some film that would hopefully really bring out the colours. Here are my impressions of Rollei CN 200.
The oldest jazz band in Spain playing in a restored church in rural Spain made a great backdrop for trying out some new film and bringing along a few favourites. Come join me for some good old Dixieland Jazz!
Sometimes a random or 'no theme' photo walkabout works best, and with this in mind I enjoyed shooting Ilford's Super XP2 400 - here are my impressions.
I was lucky enough to get some limited edition Lomography F2/400 film and decided to take it for a walkabout on the streets of London, here are my impressions.
One of my favourite weeks of the year is our annual pilgrimage to Craftsbury Sculling Camp in Vermont. This time I brought copious amounts of Kodak film, so please join me to find out why this is one of the best places in the world to row!
Cities are vastly different spaces during the day than at night, leading me try out experimenting with the blending of shots for my review of Rollei RPX 400 black & white film.
Taking advantage of a very sunny day, I set out around Frankfurt with Lomography 100 in search of anything geometrical, and here are some of the shapes and forms I came across.
During a recent work trip visit to London I decided to try out some high ISO film, which I figured would work in any situation. Here are some snapshots from my trip and impressions of the film.
Armed with a few rolls of the wonderful Cinestill 800T (T for Tungsten balanced) film, I went out in the dead of the night in search of neon lights and empty spaces.
A recent family event was a great excuse to try out a brand new film and practice some portrait photography! Here is how Bergger Pancro 400 faired with my first attempt at portraits with a Hasselblad.
A last minute Easter break to the Black Forest (Schwarzwald auf Deutsch) sees some spectacular views, a crazy treetop walk, and of course, lots of spas!
