My latest work with Jason Alley of Message for Black Hills Ammunition is out. I am so excited that we actually were able to shoot this project on good old FILM. I have Been doing a lot of that lately and will share more film work soon.
The specific goal of this photography campaign was to show the hard minute detail and simplistic beauty behind Black Hills Ammunition’s product line. With a mixture of traditional analog and contemporary digital technologies we captured the essence of crafting ammunition with human hands.
We utilized medium format and 35mm Kodak Tri-X Pan photographed with both a Mamiya RZ and Nikon F3 and then processed the negatives in PMK pyro-metol Kodak film developer.
The medium format camera was rigged with extension tubes to achieve the tight shallow focus, all images were shot hand held without the use of tripod or support. After processing, the film was scanned into 1GB files and given a custom treatment in Adobe Photoshop to achieve the campaign’s unique look and feel.
