I make no secret I like shooting weird, non conventional films.

Kodak Vericolor Slide Film is exactly one of those films. It was never meant to be shot how I shot it and that’s the challenge.

Originally designed to make slides from negatives its a C41 processed slide film, so it is unique in that regard alone.

The single roll I had was expired in 1997 and I decided to double expose most of the shots just to amp up the “funkyness” of it.

Why do I shoot these films? Mainly because not many people are. The rarity and specific uses of them, precludes a lot of people from shooting them in this way, but I like to push things in ways they weren’t really designed for.

Thanks to my model @caitylacuna

If you have an odd or rare film you’d like to me to shoot, get in touch. I’m happy to give it a whirl…

Caitlin – 35mm Film

Caitlin has previously shot with me, but this shoot was entirely on 35mm film.

This shoot is more like 3 different shoots in one, but we only had access to the location for the day so we made hay….

For the analog minded the 35mm films were a combination of Agfa APX 400, Kodak Portra 800, Agfa Vista 200 and Cinestill 800.

Clouds Rolling in…

I’ve fallen in love all over again with 35mm film.

These shots of @Sarita_Ferraro were taken on Kodak Tri-X 400 film on a wet summers day.

Therapy

I get sick of photography.

I get bored with it.

I lose my inspiration. I go cold.

Digital photography leaves me empty.

I go on Ebay to get my inspiration back.

I buy ten dollar 35mm film cameras and rolls of film and I shoot like it was mean’t to be. Raw and natural. A frame at a time. A sniper not a machine gunner.

This is a series of work with an assortment of old film cameras and an assortment of old films. Some long since expired.

Thanks to my model Bec.

Newbie Series – Maisie

This is my shoot with @maisie.dixon for the “Newbie Series”‘. These are Maisie’s words;

“I am someone with constant confusion over the person I am, who is generally too awkward to speak and someone who can’t seem to let go and live freely.

I am someone who can be easily motivated and on top of the world one minute, to paralytic in bed for days.

I am someone who explores cities all over Australia, and someone who sometimes cannot leave the apartment for weeks.

I am someone who tries and tries to love and accept the body I was given, but I am someone with the mind of the devil which tricks and manipulates my own self to believe I am not worthy.

I am someone who some would say was the strongest I could possibly be, yet I am also the person to feel so damn weak.

I am someone with Borderline Personality Disorder and I am someone who will continually try in all my power to learn to love, accept and respect the body I was given.

This is why I felt the overwhelming desire to collaborate with Duncan. This is the first step on my journey of self-acceptance.”
