Personal Work: Jessica on film, September ‘25

13 Aug

I have some more images to share with you today - Jessica (@Jessica.A.Pinkett), of the world-renowned and highly prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre (@AlvinAiley), who I had the pleasure of photographing on my trip to New York in September.

These images are all shot on film, if you can believe it. FILM! Film is something I’m getting into more and more this year, as I simply cannot and will not do ‘one thing’. These were shot on the legendary @Hasselblad Xpan II, Fuji 400 TX, and developed right there in NYC. I also shot these with the Profoto B10X, triggered on the film camera, which made me very scared and also excited but also apprehensive and then back to scared again. But it worked, and that’s the most important thing.

Once again, huge, enormous thanks go to @samanthazausch & @_anna_sneed for BTS, assisting, moral support, and pizza supply. Susan (@susan_ely) at @Profoto for the support and help pulling this off, as well as @jphazon for making me feel so welcome and intro-ing me to @fredatfotocare & @fotocarenyc. @photobyphe for her amazing production support and booking skills, and finally Alena (@aretouch.a) for helping with the retouching once I’d done the grade. It takes a village ha!
