Borrowed the hugely expensive imacon film scanner at the lab to scan the roll of MF film from the recent iO shoot. Really pleased with the colour and light in these…
When I’m not so broke I’ll get a few test prints done as I had to tweak the colours quite a lot from the raw scan, always the way with NC.
Many thanks to Gary at ISIS for letting me use the scanner. I highly reccomend Martin @ EYE Creative and Gary at ISIS (they share the same lab). They do cheap processing and scanning, and fantastic digital C-Type prints as well as hand prints for some of the best photographers in the world.
Here are some early edits from a forthcoming project on London Electronic music producer iO (also known as FLN). Check out his amazing mix for Mary Anne Hobbs here
And a few more of his tunes on Soundcloud.
Just getting the film developed (my last few rolls of the no-longer made Kodak Portra 160 NC- neutral colour).
I like the simplicity and colours of these shots, I’ll sit down with Rob (iO) tonight and have a look at doing some b&w or colour tweaked edits for use as press shots.
Spent Friday night at the Wimbledon ‘Dogs’ or Greyhound racing track! Great fun, an interesting insight into British culture. I was expecting to see loads of cockneys and interesting characters, but the “old school” crowd I was hoping for was fairly small. I think lots of people were just there for the night like we were, as tourists.
I did find the bookies really interesting. They were quite shift and camera shy but interesting looking people. Most of them were using a computer system which would automatically print out the slips with your bet on it, but one group were still doing it with pen and paper, and also had a huge leather folder full of money (these are the bookies shown here). One of the guys has got his hand in the money bag in one of the shots, and in another you can see the cash bursting out.
Some shots from a mini-series looking at natural shapes and textures in NZ… The most abstract one with all of the drips of water was taken standing under a canvas roof on the beach in the pooring rain. The rain would land on the surface, run down to the lowest point then drip off, quite amazing. I took a video of it too which I’ll hopefully post soon.
