Action video

Price - $40

The Action video is a series of photos shot with my camera at an extremely high rate of speed. I can then stich the photos later in editing and render them in sequence to make it look like a video. This technique results in giving you both high quality photos as well as a video that has a unique “stop motion” look naturally.

PRINTS

8x10 - $30

13x19 - $40

Prints are made from gallery quality 100% cotton printing paper and printed with non acidic pigmented ink.

Most prints you’ll see are called RC prints. RC stands for Resin Coated which means they use a layer of plastic to adhere the ink to the page. RC paper has a very cheap feel to it and because they’re made with a high acidity, the paper will start to fade and turn yellow over time, usually within 10 years. Because my paper is cotton instead of plastic it doesn’t have the annoying mirror reflectiveness that a glossy paper does, this is completely different (and much more presentable) than a lustre print. The cotton paper also allows me to use pigment ink instead of dye which results in a better color range, increased smudge/ water resistance as well as lasting 10x longer than a RC print would. The prints themselves have a high quality look to them, and unfortunately that comes at a high cost. My printer costs $700 in ink just to replenish.

Film + Digital

Price - $20 + cost of production

Have part of your shoot on film, your choice of 35mm film or medium format. I have a large array of vintage film cameras I like to use. Choose your camera from my 1946 Leica III, 70s Hasselblad 500cm and Pentax 6x7, 1950’s Graflex.

1 roll of medium format comes with either 10-12 shots and 35mm comes with 36 shots. Please inquire for more information.

8x10 Portrait (experimental)

Price - $90 for 1 photo / $60 per additional shots

The 8x10 Portrait is a photo taken with an 8x10 inch large format camera. This camera is similar to the type of cameras used in the late 1800’s. It’s incredibly large and slow to use, but gives a vintage look that cannot be achieved with a conventional camera. Each photo comes with an 8x10 print on 100% cotton paper and a digital scan of the print. This is an excellent choice for anyone who wants something extremely unique that no one else would have.

Q: Why is it so expensive for just 1 picture?

A: Its an incredibly long and labor intensive process. Each shot takes 1 full sheet of 8x10 inch film and needs to be loaded individually into a special light tight holder the day before. These sheets currently cost $9 each. Once the image is taken, the photos must be processed in a completely light tight room by hand, by me. This process requires me to be in complete darkness working with chemisry just by feel for about 20 minutes. Any small mistake in this process may completely ruin the image that’s on the film. Once I am done with the developing the film, it must go through a washing phase which is about another 20 minutes. Once the film is dry, the film is taken to the darkroom where I have a very dim red light where the print is made. I take a sheet of cotton fiber paper which is coated with light sensitive silver and it is placed under the film and sandwiched under a pane of glass. I then use a type of projector which projects light onto this paper to create a positive image onto the paper. Once this is done, the film is set aside and the paper is taken where I go through the steps to develop it, wash it and dry the paper. After all these steps, a final print is now made. Not including the drying, the entire process takes about 3 collective hours of work for one print.

By booking this, you accept that with film, things may happen, scratches, dust and other artifacts may be present. If photo is completely unusable, payment will be refunded or we can do the shot over again. Delivery time may be from a few days to a few weeks.
