Film and Analog Photography by Richard Weber

It's been a little while since I've posted anything on my blog, so it's time to do some sprucing up. 

I was wistfully thinking about my old camera collection I had when I was a kid and realized that I hadn't shot any film in ages. After doing a ton of research and seeing what was out there I decided to take the leap and get a film camera. I am now using a Hasselblad 500cm camera in addition to digital photography and I'll be incorporating it into my client workflow from here on out as an option for anyone who likes the analog look. 

The Hasselblad 500cm is one of the best medium format cameras ever made. If you aren't familiar with medium format, it simply refers to the size of the film. Most film cameras people are used to use the 35mm format. The Hasselblad uses 120 film which shoots at a 56x56mm size which allows more visual information to imprint on the film which allows for richer more detailed photographs and allows greater flexibility. It's a very high quality camera with superb lenses, rivaling some of the photos I've taken on my Canon 5d Mark IV. 

If you are ever interested in booking services and are enthusiastic about trying out film, please notify me in your email and we can incorporate it into your project. It can be easily scanned and digitized into a jpeg for any online uses you may need. 

I've included some recent work I've done along with the camera itself. Thanks for reading and keep shooting! -rw

I've launched an online storefront for those of you interested in purchasing some of my work. I'll be adding to it and arranging it into a more cohesive form as time goes on, but for now it's up and running.

All photos are gallery quality and will be ready in about 24-48 hours for prints. Framed prints have a turn around time of 1-2 weeks. 

Thanks for stopping by the shop and my studio website! - rw
