[Monday] Photo Set: Fallen Constellations
🕑 Added 2015-09-07 22:16:34 +0000 UTCYou never know what you're going to get into when working with Nickie Jean.
Nickie recently partnered with Lucia Garcia to form the art and music project entitled Fallen Constellations. She asked if I would come spend the day with them and shoot some photos at her house.
I brought my camera but no lights, assuming there would be plenty of sunlight to work with.
This was not the case, as her house sat mostly in shadow, which made it challenging to shoot.
The end results are fairly grainy. Certainly more grainy than I'm usually comfortable shooting, but there's a certain vintage look to the images that I actually kinda like.
While I don't consider this my best work to date, it's definitely different.

There's definitely a fine line. I do love noise/grain up to a certain point (though def not as pushed as what you were doing with the Tmax 3200).
Anjella Roessler
I love the vintage feel to these! But then I'm a high grain fan - in film days my go to film was TMax 3200 pushed 2 stops, so grain just makes me happy. Even though these are noise, it still retains a grain feel and isn't horrible at all. I might try doing some work really pushing it to see what I get.

Definitely the high ISO.
Craig Young
I take it a high ISO was to blame. I like the finished look though, looks in great in B&W, as you say a vintage feel.
