I didn't expect to receive these film scans back from Jamie so fast, but here we are... and I'm absolutely obsessed. It's been a minute since I've modeled for some film work. It's always a pleasure and a favorite of mine to work with as a model; I often find that film photographers take a little more time on their craft and the shot as opposed to us on digital that are tempted to snap away with the free frames digital provides us. Not only is this a little easier on us models posing wise, but the attention to detail and the calm experience makes for some great artwork. I own quite a few film cameras myself, but besides not really knowing which are functional and which aren't, I've been a little afraid to invest in film. I know it's costly and it's easy to waste money if you don't know what you're doing. Maybe one day I'll invest in a light meter (I need to do that anyway, honestly) and look into the cameras I have. 

Each time I model for film, however, I am reminded of my old instant film Instax camera. I miss her dearly. I keep saying I'm going to get another one as well as a polaroid, but here we are. I have so many photography goals and needs...model goals and needs...music goals and needs...needs...wants...desires... Lenses, gear, wardrobe, set design... it never ends! The life of a freelance artist.

Which set is your favorite? There's a few polaroids mixed in there, but the rest are not instant film (can't remember what he was using). You can kind of tell which are the polaroids by how grainy and dark they are when we started to lose light. Jamie was the only photographer that came out to photograph me in this amazing room... so glad he did! I adore these so much. The inital black and white shots as well as the pale washed out bright clean looking ones are my absolute favorites. I'm in love and feel beautiful again.
