If you can’t tell, I am totally in love with my new film scanner. I had shot so much film this past year, and I am loving being able to finally start sorting through and looking at all those images. This one was taken in 2014 in one of my favorite abandoned houses. I often traveled back to this house over the past few years to document the changes. On this particular day, I was drawn to the contrast caused by the interesting shadows, made by one of the houses only open windows.

Last summer I took a trip to beautiful Asheville, North Carolina for a week and shot several rolls of slide film with my  Mamiya RB67 Medium Format film camera.  I recently crossed-processed the rolls and began to scan them in. These two images are shown full-frame, so you see the edge of my negative, and have not been edited. I love how vivid the colors become during the cross-processing!

This is a panoramic taken for my Digital Imaging Class this semester. For this assignment I decided to not shoot digital, but to use my Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera to capture the 40 independent frames needed to compose this image.  After my film was processed, I used an Imacon negative scanner to get my frames into a digital format, then merged them together in photoshop. The scanning process from start to being ready for print was 12 hours, with the final printed image being 24 x 174 inches. I knew that shooting this assignment digitally would make it a lot easier, but the quality of shooting film made the risk worth taking.

This image was taken for a layout assignment during my last Spring semester. For this assignment we had to draw out a layout of several images depicting a short story that would come across clear to the viewer. In my layout, I had several images of this doll pushing the chair she is standing on towards the window. This is the last image taken, where the chair has reached its destination and she is looking outdoors. I shot this series using my Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera, and Ilford black and white film. I then scanned my image in full frame using an Imacon negative scanner.

In my Design Lab Class last Spring semester we had to create an image showing human scale. This image was taken in one of my favorite abandoned houses, using a Mamiya RB67 medium format camera and black and white film. My vision was to photograph a surreal looking image, so I liked the contrast of my clean cut model against the dirty abandoned location. By using perspective I was able to make my subject appear small, by having the doorway close to the camera, and my subject placed further away in the background. I love how the grain of the film aides in the grittiness of the picture.

This is a photo I took on my iPhone of a print from a double exposed black and white medium format negative I printed in a color RA-4 process. This process allowed me to alter the black and white saturation to a more sepia warm-toned print. I really like the layering look and feel of stacking a negative during exposure, as well as being able to control the tonality of the print before processing. I have been experimenting a lot with this process, and have been very excited with the results. To see more of my images, follow me on Instagram!
