New visuals for @goyaband on film Such an incredibly fun project I took on early this year for this Phoenix metal band who will be releasing new music and going on tour this year! @goyaband specifically requested film for this session so here are some of my favorite film frames from that day. Featured here: @polaroid frames shot on my SLR 680 120 & 35mm @cinestillfilm 800T Shot on a Yashica Mat 124G & @canonusa EOS 1V When I first met with @creepshowens I pitched this “indoor ice cave” set to him as a response to their direction and needs. I’m so glad they trusted me to conceptualize, design and build this set! ⭐️ CREDITS ⭐️ Photo / Dir / Set Design @rkeartistry me! Set build and all around assist: @weepphoto @reedandweep Studio @studioatwilson Dev & scan by @wilson.camera (120 & 35mm) All in camera effects made using attachments from @retrograde_engineer All this being said, I wanted to formally announce the addition of Creative Services to my list of offerings. This can cover things such as: concept creation; shot list building; talent sourcing; set design; and much more. These services start at $150/hour and I can do as little or as much work as you need to get your photoshoot off the ground. So if you have been thinking about needing updated photos for anything but don’t know where to start, email me and we can get things started with an initial intake call. Thank you to the gentleman in @goyaband for hiring me and trusting me with this long shoot day!!

Really digging this lens from @retrograde_engineer / @brooklynfilmcamera (not a sponsor) The 2x lens via the sx37 adapter really makes a difference!! #instantphotography #polaroid #polavoid #travelphotography #streetphotography #justanotherchris #filmphotography #instantfilm #polaroidfilm #brooklynfilmcamera

Definitely check out these lenses and adapters from @retrograde_engineer also available at @brooklynfilmcamera #instantphotography #polaroid #polavoid #travelphotography #streetphotography #justanotherchris #filmphotography #instantfilm #polaroidfilm

Photos taken with the SX-37 and Now-37 adapters with various filters Photo 1: SX-37 + 'Wave' Prism Photo 2: SX-37 + RE Fisheye Photo 3: I can't recall + RE Diamond Prism Photo 4: SX-37 + RE Vortex Prism Photo 5: SX-37 + RE Fisheye Photo 6: SX-37 + 'Wave' Prism Photo 7: SX-37 + RE Macro lenses Photo 8: SX-37 + 'Wave' Prism Photo 9: SX-37 + 'Wave' Prism Photo 10: Now-37 + Linear Prism This was a really fun shoot, huge thanks to @absent_words and team for creative direction and for putting this shoot together. The quality of the photos is a bit poor, may have something to do with the low light, my 20 year old scanner, and my SLR680 focus being a bit off. Let me know what you guys think! 📸📸. I lost the s of the models (still looking), credit to them for their work.

No attachment 2. Heart prism 3. Split macro 4. Triangle prism Thank you @reedandweep for being one of my creative besties; I love making things with you 💪

Part I of my Halloween concept: creepy crawlers I rotated through 4 photo mediums for this shoot, here you can see: @polaroid images taken on my SLR 680 1 pack of color and 1 pack of duochrome turquoise 35mm film images used @kodak portra 400 on my @canonusa EOS 1V Medium format images shot on @cinestillfilm 800 - 120 with my yashica mat 124 G Digital images taken on my @canonusa r5 Practical effect created utilizing lens filters from @retrograde_engineer x2 magnification x4 magnification Vortex prism Aaaand a fresnel sheet During this summer when the Cicadas were emerging from their seven year slumber, I would collect the empty shells they left behind on my trees for two weeks. Everything here was found in the exact way it is presented. I saved them for months knowing I wanted to use them at some point.
