Portrait Session with Samantha Photography: Sherry

Thank you’s to Samantha of Samantha Photography for letting me tag along with her while on a portrait shoot with one of her seniors-Sherry.  An awesome person, her striking eyes resoundingly contrasted with the dress she wore!

I took along my Contax 645, an 80mm f/2.0 Carl Zeiss lens, and 220 Fujifilm Pro 400H film with me.

No Digital this time around (unless you count digital scans…)

These are the results from the roll that I took.

Unfortunately this shoot was cut short for me as I had prior commitments and had to leave early.

I’m totally exited though as I’m shooting Two weddings this weekend and for one of them I totally, totally plan on using the Contax and Fujifilm Pro 800Z for that wedding.

It’ll be my first wedding where I’ll be seriously using film as part of the coverage!!

I’ll have results from that wedding up asap =D
