80s beauté on film
I read a lot of European magazines from the 70s and 80s - and truly admire the look and feel of the pictures. I set about trying to understand how the original master photographers like Hans Feurer and Harry Peccinotti might have worked with film and processing. These were shot with the new 35mm Kodak Ektachrome E100 (and cross processed) on a Nikon F100 with Nikon 70-200 2.8 @ f4. Anyhow, I like them, and if you’re a photographer interested in shooting on slide film, this might be interesting for you to see.

My chat with Alys.
I’d been wanting to connect with Alys Hale (the writer), after reading her article ‘Mind Meets Body’ (Russh Magazine June/July ‘18). I did some digging (erm, stalking), and quickly discovered that among being a stellar wordsmith, she is also one of Australia’s premier fashion models with IMG Australia. And just quietly, she once body-doubled for Kate Moss.
“I’d love to shoot with you sometime”, sounded a lot better in my mind than “I’d like to talk to you about your words”.
One smooth (business-oriented) slide into her DMs + an email to her booker; our photo date was set.
