motion pictures: nation photo 250 D (kodak vision 3)

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

What a deal! The local film lab respools motion picture film and sells it nice and cheap, so I was able to get my hands on some. I really like the feel of it, but I’m very excited for the new 200T they just released. If you have no idea what any of that means, no worries! It just means more means to get some nice shots. Mmm…pure butter, baby.

Yo dawg. I like taking these film images and sharing them with you, but one has to pay for this all somehow, no? Take a peak here and let me know if you can help out in anyway. Ain’t got money, ain’t got crypto? Maybe your old analog film camera is sitting in a closet doing nothing but collecting dust. Send it over here! Muchas gracias to all of those who have helped out so far, muchas gracias to all the amigos who can help out in the future. Cheers everybody!

semana santa ensalada: portra 400/ilford hp5/colorplus

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

Went down to Spain for Semana Santa, ate too much fried fish (there is never really too much). Airport scanners decided to cook my film, so unfortunately this is all that remains for public consumption of 3 rolls. Well, the ones I think are good enough. Want to see more outtakes? Nah, didn’t think so, me neither. But to be honest, I don’t mind so much. That’s why I decided to shoot my day-to-day work on film, for the chaos. Makes what remains feel more special.

Next up, client-supported rolls! Thanks to the kindness of others, I was able to obtain a few more rolls and they are already being shot, including some cinema film (exciting!). Should be good now that the sun is shining a lot more and my cameras have been cleaned, tuned up and the fridge is full of fresh rolls. Thank you to all who have given support and make it possible. Besos y abrazos a todos!

methods many: portraits - kodak portra 400 + tri-x 400 + ilford delta 400 + digital

Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.

Got the chance to do a test shoot with Nicolas (@nicolas_sacroug) on a few different rolls. An excellent experience working with him, trying different things on different formats, and I think we were able to create some great portraits together. Great energy (despite the freezing temperatures) made for an excellent session. Thank you Nicolas.
