Creative Film Portrait Series



" A_Muse"

   "A_Muse" is a creative portrait series put together purposefully to explore the effects of color film utilizing a striking test subject. The location of this photo session took place in a vacant Korea Town apartment complex nestled right in the center of your average L.A. "shady" neighborhood. With this series I wanted to be completely natural with every element taken to compose and compile a multitude of stunning photographs. Meaning, from the lighting to the make-up selection chosen for the model, I wanted to maintain an underling presence of a supreme natural feel or mood throughout the series. The location was specifically chosen for the natural amazing light that flooded the windows, granting me enough available light to capture the photographs at a decent exposure. Me being who I am, I could not resist putting my unique twist on this series with dramatic lighting effects manipulated through basic camera control.
   I would advice you viewers to take a further look into the rabbit hole. See what photographs were captured that day. A variety of 35mm and 120 medium format films were selected for this shoot to gain a better insight on the effects and colors produced by each type of film used:

  • Kodak Portra 800 (expired)
  • Kodak 160VC (expired)
  • Kodak 400NC (expired)

         .................... ENJOY!!
