The 4:5 format of Medium format film is a format many pros have never shot in.
Aperture Photography was booked for a wedding today that will be all film ! The bride and groom are in the entertainment world and love the look and texture of Medium Format film. I have been shooting film for 20 years. In the last 7 or so years almost all digital. They both are wonderful, but so different. I will be using Kodak Portra Film. I love the skin tones and pastel look. The 4:5 format is very different from the digitals 3:2. My camera of choice will be a Contax 645. The thin depth of field and blurred background in the right light and printed on the right paper looks a bit like a painting. Because of the expense of film and film processing is quite high it forces you to be very precise. Since I shot professionally on film for so long it will not be difficult for me, but it sure is exciting. We are planning 3 locations. The streets of Saugerties, The Saugerties lighthouse and the Kaaterskill Falls in Catskill. Aperture Photography photographs weddings in the Hudson Valley, Albany, Poughkeepsie and New York City.
