semana santa ensalada: portra 400/ilford hp5/colorplus

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!
Find out how you can help support my work, more info about it about here. Cheers and see you next time.

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.

Few things, real quick:
Going to shoot more black and white than I thought. Winter is a bit yuck for color sometimes and it just opens up more chances to shoot. Thoughts lately feels now good for some Lomo-type stuff though, so I’ll try to work that in too, but only if it’s good enough. The wacky colors of the holidays could be interesting on wacky rolls.
Shooting film feels a bit more seasonal (besides being circumstantial) than I gave it credit. I’ll put that in better words someday.
And speaking of seasonal!…Did you know you can help support me this holiday season to create more film photography? Visit here to learn more!
Can’t support financially? That’s alright, sharing is free! Cheers.
