There’s just something about grainy black and white film that i can’t get over 😍 this image was shot on expired tmax 400, the t grain structure is one of my favorites. It expired in 2006 which is what gave it this beautiful grainy appear
Carolina came by the studio to update her digitals, and of course we shot some film after 😁 It’s been an exciting week in the studio, i received my @negative.supply scanning set up! This will allow me to scan an entire roll of 35mm or 120 in r
Over the last several months i have completely dedicated myself to my film process. When i decided to dive in and start processing myself again, i felt like i was heading in the most fulfilling direction for myself. I processed my own black and white
A black & white moment with @natalievulevic who i miss photographing so much!!! I hope LA has been good to you ❣️ Natalie was one of my first clients when i was still in college, this photograph is from our last shoot when she came to my studio.
Mixing artificial & natural light in studio is always the sweet spot for me. The catch light in the eyes from the windows is my absolute favorite. I’m itching to shoot more portraits.. This shoot was with @brielle_.w back over summer ❤️
Tatiana in New York, this past February when we were still allowed to go outside. We were both in the city for fashion week, and both are alumni from @cocorochamodelcamp ! I love working with CRMC models, because they sure know how to pose after stud
I dream of printing this photo 24x36 on metal 🤩 Lightroom recently updated their split-toning and color grading system... so of course i had to play with it on this image of @sophiascinto !!! Sophia came by the studio a few months ago for a birthday
My type of clients are the ones who aren't into the cookie cutter kind of shoots. The ones who are down to go the extra mile for "the shot". Morgan & Jason's engagement shoot was one of my favorite shoots this year. They wanted engageme
A few weeks ago i did a take over for @analogtalkpodcast , Chris and Tim are awesome. I listen to their podcast while I’m working in the lab and it’s so fun to hear the stories of other film photographer. During the take over i shot this
I *FINALLY* have a color 4x5 photo i am proud of. After oh so many loading, shooting, developing, and scanning errors... i think i finally have large format figured out. It’s been a bit like a game to me since i got my graflex. Every single tim
When i was shopping for a new lens for my Hasselblad it was important to me to get a lens that could easily shoot full body in my small studio. 40mm might actually be a little too wide. It’s hard to shoot and keep the seamless in frame, and beh
This little lubitel didn’t disappoint!! People always ask me what a good starter medium format camera is, or complain about how expensive it is to get a medium format camera. Well i think i found the camera you’re looking for if you&rsquo
TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!!! Darkslide Film Lab is now open for orders!!!! I have worked so hard on this for the past 7 months, and to celebrate finally being able to launch im giving away one of my *many* cameras. I have a few the winner can pick from!!

I HAD to see what this “film soup” thing was all about, and WOAH. This is super cool 🤩. After i shot this roll i threw it in a hot pot for 30 minutes with cranberry juice, dish soap, vitamin c, pedialyte, salt, and baking poweder and BOO
Did you really shoot slide film if half the roll wasn’t totally blown out? I had a roll of e100VS that i absent-mindedly loaded in my point and shoot. I grabbed the roll to throw in my Minolta but - whoops! This is one of my favorite frames fro
Do you edit your film photos? I sure as hell do. And let me explain why you should, and should feel absolutely no shame around it. Once you have scanned it, it’s been edited. No two scanning set ups will capture the negative the same. Anyone wh
