I decided to carry out this shoot using film, as I have not used film since, I was in the first year of my degree and during my final year of my degree I decided to buy my own medium format film camera. There is something about film that I am really drawn to, probably for the fact that it encourages you to take your time when photographing your subjects. For this shoot I was using my friends Rose and Megan as the models. Although this was only a test shoot, I was really pleased with the images. Obviously technically there are some areas that I would need to work on, including the lighting/exposure and also working on making sure that the camera is fully in focus.
