My film is scanned on a Fuji Frontier, either by myself with my own Frontier or by the folks at Indie Film Lab.

The way you get those muted green tones is to overexpose Fuji 400H by 1-3 stops. Then have the scanner operator decrease the density so they are light and airy. It is a two-step process: using the right film at the right exposure, and then how the film is scanned. Both have to be done correctly.

I only used available light during Peter and Julia's wedding. I carry very very little during a wedding day :)

All of it was shot on Portra 400 processed normally except for a few rolls that were pushed to 800.

This wedding was processed and scanned by the fine folks at Indie Film Lab:

I never marketed myself as a film photographer in the beginning. I just started using film in my wedding work, like I had done in my personal work, to achieve the look I wanted. Because of that look I attracted clients who love film, whether they realize it or not.

I do have some marketing on my website and social netwrok pages that show that I shoot film and perhaps that helps market me as a film photographer. But overall most customers could care less how I get my photos. They just like the look and feel of them and want that for themselves.

I have not shot with a Hasselblad but I assume it is not much different from other medium format cameras. The prism will help you see and focus through the camera correctly. With a top down viewfinder everything would be reversed.

I would contact local photogs in your area and see if they need an assistant.
I would also set up my own shoots using friends or people recruited from FB or Twitter and make it happen. Make some work that is exactly how you like it to look. Take those shoots and put them on your website, blog, show them on FB, Twitter etc.

It takes time to build momentum, but those are the fastest ways.

Those settings would overexpose your Portra 400. I don't see any hiccups. Just be sure you are metering the right part of the face for what you want to achieve.

Always err on the side of overexposing.

Ummm... I'm not really a digital kind of guy :) Any questions about film?

In general, do not put all your eggs in one basket. That would be my advice.

I try not to make a big deal out of it. I explain how it works in the simplest way I can and 90% of the time the model is happy to sign it. This is the case at least with stock photography or commercial or editorial.

My proposals expire in two weeks. So the client has two weeks to sign it. It is all automated through Tave, my studio management program.

Umm.... it is pretty clear she flat out stole entire wedding and engagement sessions and used them to market herself. That is clearly wrong.

For someone to take a photo in a similar style as someone else....well that is the very nature of photography. It happens all the time consciously and subconsciously.

T be clear, you are guilty when you steal and actual image that someone else took and pass it off as your own.

I don't think the question is rude or my answer would be rude. It seems like a normal question. I would prefer to have things like this worked out months ahead of time, but timelines can be tricky to finalize. Especially if the bride does not have a wedding planner.

That is INSANELY expensive. I recommend shipping to the USA and using a lab like Indie Film Lab or Pro Photo Irvine. Even with express shipping, it would be waaaaay cheaper.

Also- buy your film on eBay or through Amazon.com.

I find that when you shoot film it is like your brain chemistry changes. You are more alert and have a better filter for what is worth shooting and what is not. This translates to the photojournalistic shots as well. The only time I really use digital these days is when it is SUPER dark at the reception and for the dancing photos.

It varies from event to event depending on time. I would say 20 rolls of 120 at the very least, with 10-15 rolls of 35mm too.

If it requires a drive farther than 2.5 hours from Seattle then I have that fee.

No and Yes. I do not process my film right now. I use a lab for that. I have started scanning my negatives with my own Fuji Frontier SP2500 and I intend on doing 100% of the scanning in-house by 2013.

I use a Drobo raid system, backed up online with Backblaze. I am currently a tester for Mosaic and TappIn, though I am not sure how they compare yet...

You can kind of see the sun flare in your viewfinder. But in general I avoid flare. Just keep the sun behind your subject or behind a tree branch or other object if you are shooting into the sun.

I've never had any worries. I have backup gear and I have my cameras serviced every year.

Thanks!

It is a custom website that has evolved over time. My design philosophy is to remove as much as possible, leaving only the images in place. The only image beside my photography is my logo. I want the work to be the center of attention. It is built on Wordpress.
