Hi everyone.

Just wanted to share images of this very versatile model (Trista) that i engaged for photoshoots recently.

I find her very versatile, like a chameleon. She can pull it off with different kinds of attire, settings, moods etc.

All these images are film images.

In order to be as accurate as i can in my recollection of the information, i will post the images one by one, over some time, and elaborate on what was done on the images.

For all the shoots with Trista, i used the Pentax MZ-S, with either the FA77 or FA43.

The films used include Kodak Portra160, Portra400 and TMax400.

Call me odd, but i dislike capturing people images using digital.
Much prefer film.
I am unable to explain it, but film gives me that "feel" that i somehow just do not get it with digital.

I hope you all will like the images shared here, and maybe pique your interest to give film a try as well.

post here two of same image.

The colour-image is the original, as this image is from Portra400 (snapped with FA77).

Other than cropping and small adjustments on some parameters using just SnapSeed on cellphone, nothing else elaborate was used.

The black-white image came about via exploring turning the colour-image into bnw using just the phone's default image processing app.
I actually prefer the BnW version

Nice pose and a good quality scan. But where is the Portra 160 and 400TMY shots you advertise?

You are correct in regards to the difference between film images and digital images. Film images with people retain a type of personal, visual connection to your subject. More so than digital.

I really like the softness you managed to maintain with this very lovely young lady. Well done sir and many thanks for sharing these two beauties.

Yes, the B&W has something good about it over the color.

This image by MZ-S with FA43, on TMax400.
Cropped and adjusted on Snapseed

This was with the MZ-S, FA77 and Portra400.

I deliberately wanted this angle, to see how it will turn up. Love it.

FA77 with Portra400.

This is her in a different guise.
The double pony-tail was lovely.
