I would define film photography as grainy and raw. Some of Yasaman and Giacomo’s photos taste old and new at the same time. Anyway, the golden hour light of that day was breath-taking! I am overall pleased with these results, considering that it was my 1st experiment with the eos 850. Enjoy!
A couple of weekends ago, I had the real pleasure to take some portraits of this gorgeous newlywed couple. Yasaman is Iranian whilst Giacomo is from Parma: granted to say, they are both beautiful! Working with them, at one point, I had the feeling that I was photographing two professional models😚 Their love is genuine and well-grounded. I wish them both that their bound can grow more and more and strengthen them! Enjoy their JOY!
We met 1 hour and a half before sunset in a urban area in Parma and took advantage of a stunning golden hour light. I am now becoming increasingly confident with my R6 Mark II, even though I did not renounce to try a new acquisition, a Canon EOS 850 film camera, hence 2 different photographic moments within the same shooting session.
This is the story. There is a corner of my room that receives a beautiful contrasted light during bright mornings. Interesting shadows are created here and I can admire them for hours till the sun moves away.I already wanted to take a few photos here by myself.
Then I spoke with Maria and she mentioned having recently taken pictures remotely using her mobile. So I asked her if she wished to take my portrait and we gave life to a Parma / Edinburgh FaceTime photo session! It was not meant to be a highly professional or a “serious” experience but she had clear ideas on what she wanted and directed me well. At the end we were quite impressed by some good shots that were taken. It was weird to work together at a distance but was worth it!
