I took this photo on Velvia slide film with my Pentax 645N. One of the big differences about shooting with film is that you don’t just set up a shoot and then handle your camera like a machine gun.
Every shot is more thoughtful and intense.
Normally, with a photo like this, I would shoot 20 with my 5D3 and probably still end up doing a head swap.
But with film, you patiently get the best shot you can. And even though there is a blinking boy, this is my family.
These are my kids – and they’re not perfect, but they are beautiful.
