sneak peak - noir

So this is the first project from uni that I have enjoyed and properly gotten into, the project is simply 'studio portrait'.

And after watching The Big Sleep I wanted to do a film noir shoot, so here are a couple of shots.

I'm currently still printing in the darkroom and editing down to my final image.

These are scans from the negatives, developed by myself at home.

old film, finally developed

re-scanned cross processed negatives

I decided to re-scan some of my black and white negatives that I never had time to print in college, and ended up scanning in alot of my old cross processed film that I had had processed and printed commerically and then just scanned the print.

I'm so suprised at the quality of colour and brightness that my scanner (CanoScan 8800F) is capable of doing from negatives.

So here are some of those images, including a long lost image that they decided never to print for me assuming it wasnt worth it!

^long lost image^

I will of course be uploading my re-scans of old black and white film in due course, including some that I've never even seen myself!
