Luchadores and Film Makers

Morning all. I've been busy these past two weeks working on some new projects. Here are a few shots to show you what i've been working on. I'll put more detailed posts up once i've sorted through all the pictures.

Polaroid, we love you.

Many years ago friend John gave me a Polaroid Automatic 100. Resigned to the unavailability of a battery for it I placed it on my Polaroid camera shelf to collect dust and look good.
Then the other day I read on the world wide internet that you can use a bog standard 9v battery to power the shutter, so I tried it and it worked! I have since ordered a few packs of fuji pull apart polaroid and will be posting shots from it as soon as the film arrives.

I won't launch into a rant about how badly I miss polaroid and their fine products, I will however be first in line to buy a box of Type 55 if the impossible project ever manufacture it.

Also as a side note I am looking for more participants in my five by four project. If you would like me to take your portrait and I can get to you feel free to send me an email via my website.

Yasmin

A couple of months back I decided to get back in to taking portraits just for fun. Everything has been getting so serious lately that I began to lose site of why I started doing photography in the first place. 

So I called up a few friends and have been making regular shoots with them just for the hell of it.

The above shots of Yasmin were all taken on the same day, all except the last one are a mix of ring flash and daylight.
