Hi everyone!

I'm new to this board - I've lurked here for a little bit and have just registered today -- thanks to Leon for sorting my registration. I'm fairly young and a digital shooter for work stuff (ostensibly "fashion" but more often than not food and wedding photography), but I've retreated to film for some personal stuff in an effort to recapture a bit more of the analog essence; a bit more of the unexpected, I guess.

I thought I'd introduce myself by showing this series, of a favorite model:

all shot on t-max 3200 on various canon/sigma primes, pulled 1 stop, developed by a lab. I'd shot her probably a dozen times before, always digital, mostly studio with strobes, sometimes with attendant makeup artist, hairstylist, wardrobe stylist, etc. and thought I'd go to her home to shoot in a much more loose fashion, with much more impromptu setups. So I feel it's a bit ham-fisted, this series, in many respects - I plan to work more in this vein and develop my style better.

Right, so... hello everyone, and please critique if you'd like (: My ego is not fragile and I do recognize that I am very much a developing photographer.  :)

I think they're looking amazing...!
I really like the first shot...the way the light falls on her back is great and she's got the look ;)

Welcome to the forum...  :)
