Raw Film Photo Shoot

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

I was initially a little hesitant when Ricky of TRD Photography contacted me about a film shoot. Photoshop is my friend. I like having my many imperfections and blemishes brushed away. Doesn't everyone? Despite my concerns, I decided to put on my big girl panties and set up the shoot. I always push myself to try new things, and this situation was no different. I arrived at the studio full of nerves. I kept worrying I was going to completely bomb this shoot and Ricky would never want to work with me again. In the end, my fears were unfounded because I was so incredibly happy with these photographs. There is something so intimate and emotional about unedited, untouched film. It captures something that photoshopped and air-brushed pictures cannot. This is me as I am. No editing, no censoring of my flaws, no perfection.

Ricky did an incredible job with the lighting and shadow work. I can't wait to make it back into the studio to produce more great film work. As always, thank you all so incredibly much for your constant support and for taking the time to check out my work. You always brighten my days with your kind words.

So raw!

HAHAHHAHAHAHA THIS IS MY FAVORITE COMMENT ON STEEMIT

Good call on putting that first photo first. Awesome as usual, but I think this is my favorite so far, I really love these shots.

Thank you! I always struggle with what picture to use for the thumbnail so I appreciate that. :)

OK someone help me see these so-called 'flaws' as I cannot ;)

Lol thank you, timelapse.

Awesome artwork. I really love this kind of raw analog photography.

Thanks so much, shortcut! This was my first time doing anything film related so it was a new experience. I like how it turned out, too.

Oh wow, thanks crypto! That means a lot coming from you. :)

Gorgeous. I love the B&W. I am doing some myself in my digital renders.
