Smokin' !

The Girl Next Door

These JPEGs are from scanned analogue prints [notice all those surface scratches/imperfections - at one time the original prints were actually accidentally soaked, and eventually had to be air dried - well, at least 'twas still preserved after all these years].  Used 35mm color negative film to shoot these portraits.  Angled two studio lights to capture the smoke.

As mentioned in  a post in my fb page a few days ago - I did have this young promising actress as a neighbor [in a townhouse complex in Makati, years ago].  Did invite her for snacks/dinner - whatever and a portrait shoot - She was a smoker, she also loved to wear black lipstick.

 

[I moved out of that townhouse complex years ago, and so did she.] 

Had several private photo shoots with her, besides this evening session - [one was a daytime shoot using available window light] - She was easy on the eyes, easy to work with  - [Magaan siya "ishoot"] 'Twas all good.  

One of these days ? [totally depends on my mood !] I'll just feat my Black & White portraits/prints [which I manually printed in a darkroom]. - [Yup - was able to preserve them too - scan them in a flatbed and all.]
