The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

A few months back, I convince a good friend and commercial client to let me create a series of images to use for a vintage inspired ad for the Blacksmith Shop.  Best of all, he agreed to let me shoot film.  He has wanted to keep them under wraps until now.  The second image will be an ad on the back cover of Wedding Belles Magazine.

Tech Notes:
Shot entirely with my Mamiya 645 AF.  Most images were captured with the 80mm f2.8 lens.  A few, including the last one, were shot with a 55mm f2.8 manual focus lens I purchased for $25.  Color images are Fuji 400H film and the B&W are Fuji Neopan 400 film.


Thanks to Peggy Keys for the hair and makeup,  Jonathan's Bridal for the dress and gloves,  Allison Lucas for the flowers,  Aubrey Newby for his courage and birdcage veil, and  Kristen Clements for being an awesome model.
