Early Polaroid Preview with Gab (Patreon)

Here's a special preview with Gab from last Saturday. 

I literally just finished scanning these Polaroids, taken with the Polaroid OneStep+.

I haven't even started to process all the images from the shoot, but I figured I could share an early access to the polaroids.

Expect A LOT of images with Gab, I shot a full 2h of non-stop images using a few cameras of course ;) 

I only used natural light for this shoot, so I didn't take any time to setup lights, it speeded up the process so that's a major reason why I took so many photos in only 2h. ( I'm used to 3-4h shoots in total with the setup and the talking)

Well. that's not completely true, I used the on-camera flash for a few of these Polaroids.

 I still have a hard time with this format, dynamic range is almost non existent with this, it's not coming out like I would want them to be, case and point:

The flash look is much easier to achieve and pleasing, I have to get used to it. Polaroid suggest to use the flash, I'm starting to understand why now. 

Flash and Polaroid is a good combo, it's a distinct authentic look, so why not.

I didn't use the manual mode for any of these, looking back maybe I should have.

For this last one, I moved right next to the window and even over-exposed the frame. You can see here how the blacks are very black even though:

This is probably my favorite of the bunch. 

All considering, it's super fun using this camera and shooting instant film, most model will enjoy it as well I promise you.

It's a shame Polaroid Originals are so expensive, would love to be able to experiment more with the medium, I'll have to get through a few more packs to get better at this, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
