Facing The Imminent Prospect Of Death

I was reminded about some old shots I took back in 2011 for my friends in the band The Kandidate. I did all the artwork for their album "Facing The Imminent Prospect Of Death". Everything was done as analog and hand made as possible with as little digital help as possible. Every page was hand painted. All text was hand written. All photos was shot on analog cameras with no photoshop. The layout was made as collages and then photographed. Fun project.

These photos was taken on 120mm film on my Mamiya C3. An old guy! 

Since there isn't much new music photography to share at the moment I hope you will enjoy this flashback to 2011

Practice, Practice, Practice

This is the result from my first shoot with the Mamiya C3 that I inherited from my wife's grandpa.
It was also the first time that I tried shooting with a lightmeter so I had no clue if anything would come out of these 4 rolls of film.
This is also from before mentioned practice with The Kandidate who is about to start recording their new album. Tomorrow actually. I had hoped that I could have been there to document it but due to other plans I have to skip that.
I still have some more pictures from this session. I did bring 4 different kinds of cameras. Next will be from my canon AV-1 35mm.

On other photo related news. We are almost done with our darkroom at the shop. Shelves needs to be put up and ventilation still needs to be put up but it feels good to be this close to be able to develop and print our own photos.

Mission Impossible

A few weekends back I went to shoot my friends in The Kandidate while the rehearsed for their upcoming album. I brought 4 different cameras including a good ol polaroid. It had a normal old film in it but after that was done I finally got to test out some of the new ones from The Impossible Project. Since they change the way they make these films then the first one turned out a bit sepia and the other one just black and whit. Both cool results and I am looking forward to shoot with them again.

The Kandidate

A while ago I finally got to see my friend Jacob Play with The Kandidate. I new it was a small venue so I decided to bring the ol' Canon Av-1 and see what it could do in a dark place like this.
