Large Format

After years of wanting to pick up a large format camera, I finally had the courage to do so!  Today I tested some large format 5 by 4 polaroid with my friend Aaron from class.  Working with Aaron is great and together it makes it a bit easier.   It is an intimidating object but equally incredible.  I have never been so patient with a camera before and I hope to master it one day.  These are a few shots (that took half the day) of Amanda....(she was also equally patient...thank goodness for that!)

good ol' polaroid

I do have a great love for polaroid, that fact that it's instantly tangible is amazing.  Natural light, especially in black and white still excites me to this day! 

So, I decided to mess around and have some fun with polaroid.

Here is the third part to the series I have done with Nikoo.  Testing the lighting and location.  Again wearing a vintage piece that I picked up on sale at Paper Dress on curtain road.  Working with Nikoo has been great, I look foward to more tests!

ok so,
now that I have started a blog I have to TRY  and keep up with it.  As I said, I am posting a series of photo's that I did with Nikoo and here is the second part to the shoot.  This time using a 1920's vintage cap from Annie's Vintage...I love that place.

These are just a few tests that I did with my good pal Nikoo Hamzavi, she is so natural and so beautiful and  we always have so much fun when messing around with photoshoots.  There are 4 different parts to our shoot and I will be posting my edit's from each part.  This is my first post on my first blog and I thought this would be the right time to post them.... This part of the shoot we used a 1930's opera coat from Annie's Vintage... Thanks Nikoo x
