I've been using a DSLR since 2008. I haven't shot film since high school when I would buy cheap disposable cameras and get the film developed at the grocery store. I've felt in a bit of a rut so I decided that it was time to try something new, so I picked up an old Elan 7 camera on eBay and bought several different types of film on Amazon. I chose a roll of Ektar 100 since it was the cheapest of the film I bought and I figured I would probably screw up, so why waste money. haha. Ektar 100 is contrasty and bright, quite the opposite of how I normally shoot and edit my digital images. I know this won't be my favorite film, but I am so excited to play around. I'm actually quite proud that of the 36 frames I didn't completely screw up a single one. Woo hoo. haha. Next up? Some Porta 800! Wish me luck ;)
Preview: A Styled Shoot with 6 Stunning BHLDN Gowns
Me + dresses from Anthropologie's bridal line + Ashley Ridley Smith on hair/makeup + Paisley Petals on florals + Vintage Ambiance on decor + 3 beautiful women = just a little bit of pretty. More coming soon.
100 Photographers to Watch in 2015
There are various lists that go around within the photography community naming the industry's top photographers, rising stars, etc. I always enjoy looking at them, seeing people I recognize, admire, and want to learn more about. Yesterday, I saw that Clickin Moms had released "100 Photographers to Watch in 2015". I clicked, truly not expecting to see my name, but there I was! I cannot believe that I am included on a list that includes so much talent. These are photographers from various genres and from around the world, many of whom I have heard of and admire from afar. I feel like such a small fry compared to so many of these people, but I am very excited and honored none-the-less. Congratulations to everyone else who made the list! 100 Photographers to Watch in 2015
