Any time that I shoot with BendItLikeBirch, I like to take double exposure Instant Film shots. Since she's already able to pose in surreal ways, the double exposures can be especially intriguing. I like using the Lomography Instant Wide for double exposures because I've gotten used to it's quirks and it is fairly reliable for me. In addition to multiple exposures, it also lets me hook up to my studio lights.
My workflow is to set up lighting and shoot digital, and grab film shots along the way, or all at the end. I set the digital camera to ISO800 to match the film and make setup easier.
A pack of film is only 10 exposures and sometimes it can take a surprising amount of time to make those 10 shots. Double exposing slows the process down considerably and it can take as long as an hour to get through the pack.
I occasionally make my instant film originals available for sale, and I always have prints. A compendium of my instant photos will be featured in an upcoming issue of NudeArtZine, including a few of these.
I am a Las Vegas Local and I do most of my work out of my studio, Photo Bang Bang. I have shot for numerous publications including Gizmodo, Urb Magazine, Hustler Magazine, Vogue Italia, io9, Dvice, Mashable, Wired, DeviantNation, SuicideGirls, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas City Life, Kink.com, Sexual Health Magazine and more. I am a highly competent and creative photographer with a skilled approach to composition and lighting who loves working on location and in new environments, in addition to the comfort of his studio.
My current lineup of cameras includes a Nikon Z6, Lomography Instant Wide, Lomography Diana+ Instant Square, Insta360 OneX, DJI Osmo Pocket 2 and iPhone8 and he is now branching out into live streaming and filmmaking.
