Moody Nature
We didn’t celebrate Carnaval this year. Didn’t feel like standing between drunk people, listening to crappy music and drinking lame beer. Instead we took each other out for a walk. The weather was beautiful and when I saw a color 120 film laying in my fridge I decided to play funky. I think my Hasselblad saw his first color film. Unfortunately I forgot I loaned my light meter to my dad so the Canon S95 had to do the job. It worked.
One photo of the roll of film stood out and found it handsome enough to post it here. The film was a Kodak 160VC. I still have to develop the black-and-whites.
And now off to my basement…have to make some varnish (yummy yummy) and see if my 18x24cm plates fit my freshly made inlay as one didn’t last time..and I need them tomorrow…
Have a great night!

Bygone Days
As I was going through my archives seeing what I’d pick up for lith printing I came across these. They were made during my first eduction in photography at Syntra Hasselt 2004. One of our teachers was a fashion photographer and she asked us to do a fashion shoot. The model I used is a girl I worked with quite a lot back then. She was a beautiful person (still is really) who was always up for anything.
The images were made in studio (duhhh) with a Mamiya 645 & 80mm. The black-and-white film used was an Ilford Pan F (50 ASA) and the color film a Kodak Portra 160VC.
These were the rare occasions I actually did fashion stuff, not my area. I’m actually quite the opposite now seeing my struggles with the superficial world of today including media and the way women are portrayed (let themselves be portrayed). Still the images intrigue me in a way.
