A girl and a gun - Pulp Fiction shoot

The goal of this shoot was to try out noir lighting and use it to capture the look of an old pulp fiction cover.  We had one lighting setup with Cora exploring different emotions and motivations under the theme.  

The results:

Slides to die for

I gave up on shooting 35mm film years ago, the small negative gives me nothing that digital can't already offer, and I still have to deal with all the headaches of working with film.  Medium format, on the other hand, offers expansive negatives and image quality... but oh the cost.

Last month I finally broke down and bought a small Pentax 67 kit.  The camera itself is impressive--tank-like would be an understatement.  And the images?  

Saint and the Imp Shoot - Shoot 4

A few more stills from the video shoot for the Saint and the Imp 50's pop sensation senario.  Appearing in this shoot are Carolyn Hoerdemann, Kennedy Greenrod and the Thin Man.

The backstory?  The Imp's jumped in time to the USA during the 50's for the birth of Rock-n-Roll.  While here he realizes he's not the only one unstuck in time...

You don't need a suitcase when time traveling.

I've had the pleasure of working with the inscrutably enchanting Carolyn Hoerdemann photographing her new piece, the Saint and the Imp.  It is the story of a pair of Saints, unstuck in time, travelling through history as musicians!  See the Saint and the Imp at Collaboraction this June.
