The last few years have seen new growth in film photography. Film is timeless and has a quality unlike any digital sensor. Portraiture with film is a more relaxed and intimate process. It makes me slow down and wait for the decisive moment. Film delivers wonderful skin tones and has a beautiful depth.
My current medium format camera is a Bronica ETRS made around 1980. I purchased it from a loving home in Tokyo, Japan, and it is in mint condition. Paired with Zenza Bronica 50mm, 75mm and 150mm lenses it is the perfect tool for portraits and weddings.
I shoot 35mm film with a Canon Elan 7n camera from the mid 2000’s. A great SLR camera it features “eye focus” – it focuses where you look! This camera uses EF lenses the same as my digital camera, so I don’t have to have separate lenses.
I offer both Color and Black & White photography. My favorite color film is Kodak Portra. For Black & White I use both Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ilford Delta 400.
