Sofie

I was at evening classes many years ago trying to improve my picture taking and also learning developing and printing of 35mm roll film. This shot of Sofie was one I took in a class on how to take better portraits. I had to do all of the setting up and getting her to pose etc, so this is entirely my creation. I developed it afterwards and was very pleased with the results. I love the softness to the shot and the grain from the printing process and then the scanning has added to the softness. The shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 20 years ago and scanned into the computer.

    You did such a fabulous job! I’m so envious, given a film camera I’m sure I’d mess up totally!

    What a wonderful idea, such softness which suits her features and very unique too
