Once in a while one comes in contact with a special model.  

This is Manu.  She sparkles like moving water in the bright sunlight.

This is our first test.  

The photo was made with natural light. 

Very simply.

Beauty Test Carlotta

Natural light in the dappled shade.   

This is one of my favorite ways to shoot beauty.  I love the highlights and the shadows. 

This kind of light, always makes the models skin look wonderful. 

Chromogenic Film Test 1

  I Love Film.  Analog film cameras see things differently.  I don't really know how to explain it.  

I have tried, with no really good personal understanding.   It is the magic of film.

I grew up on film.  I developed my first roll of film and made my first contact print when 

I was 11 years old, in my fathers amateur darkroom.  It was, "Love at First Sight".  

Watching white paper turn into "Magic,"  I was mystified.  

  As time went on I discovered the Ilford chromogenic  film XP2.  I loved printing it in 

B&W and toning the prints.   I also loved having it printed in color, with the endless

possibilities available. 

These photos we shot with the Kodak chromogenic film 400CN Pro.   They were developed in Kodak C-41 chemistry.  Then they were scanned in color.  I find the color palate interesting and pleasing.  

Have you ever shot either of these films?  What are your thoughts and how do you process them to completion?
