|PHOTO| Update - Film Photoshoot

It's been a week since doing my first film photoshoot of the year. Sad to say, I had a bit of trouble development my E-6 220 film. The first photo lab I had gone too, CHROMATEK IMAGING, had stopped processing E-6 film completely and can only process black and white, or C-41. That is saddening to hear that the reality of film is coming to a dead end for some photo labs. Luckily there is more than one lab close to the studio that still processes medium format film. So I decided to pick up my non-processed film from Chromatek, and take it to DALE LABS. I picked it back up on Tuesday, scanned the images on Thursday and had the opportunity to edit one of my favorites that same day.

The image is a bit soft due to my Epson V700 flatbed scanner and problems of the film curling due to the poor film holders, but the image itself is exactly what I was looking for, for this beauty editorial. 4 different looks with a splash of color. I hope to have it submitted to a magazine, with the possibility of it being published in the months to come. Below is a sample of one of the E-6 shots that I recently took.

Equipment used:

Camera . Mamiya RZ67 PRO II with 150 mm
Film . Kodak E100G 220 film
Lighting . (3) Profoto pro heads, (2) beauty dishes with grids, (1) zoom reflector with 10 degree grid, (2) cutters

Hope to get another film shoot done sometime this week. Wish me luck.
