the portrait session with samira was going to be a film-only session, and I indeed shot it on medium format film, which I much prefer to any digital camera. I did, however, carry the sony a7r with me, so I got some test shots in the beginning and some extra shots after I ran out of film. this camera is extremely potent, easily paired to any kind of lens, and takes virtually no space in your camera bag.
the first five images were shot with the native carl zeiss fe 35mm/f2.8 lens. the rest of the images were shot with a 40-year-old minolta md 50mm/f1.4 lens (manual focusing, focus peaking, etc). the post-process included brightening, contrast, etc. - I did not change the colours, apply any noise reduction or sharpening. I've left the exif data on the photos.
