This Summer, Slow Down

Introducing Summer on Film — a limited-edition series of portrait sessions captured entirely
on 35mm film. This is an experience crafted for those who cherish more than just pixels, for those wanting to savor the fleeting feeling of summer and trust an artist to capture something timeless and true.
It’s less about perfect poses and more about the authentic connection, the shared laughter, the quiet glance – the real moments that form your story. We’ll shoot two rolls of Kodak Gold 200, known for its warm tones and creamy highlights that beautifully render summer evenings and genuine emotion.

There are no instant previews, no endless retakes. Just the intentional process of creating with film, capturing authentic moments as they unfold, the way photographs were always meant to be made.

I scan each frame myself using a professional Nikon film scanner — a slow, hands-on process that preserves the integrity of the film’s native tones, grain, and color. Nothing is batchprocessed.

Each image is carefully brought into the digital world with minimal correction, so what you see is what the film saw.
You’ll receive hand-edited digital scans and a handcrafted linen-bound heirloom album. Inside, 20 artist-curated prints are carefully presented in classic matted windows. This isn’t just an album; it’s a tangible connection to your memories, designed to be treasured and shared for years to come.
