High contrast B&W — street, portraiture, skate action, architecture. Already distinctive enough to recognize across a room.

Why film?

It is mainly the simplicity of my camera and the physical experience you get working with film.

Why half frame?

Initially I had a project in mind. But also because I generally prefer portrait orientation anyway and because the whole Pen F system is so compact, I can carry it all day.

What are you trying to show?

I enjoy doing street photography and the spontaneity, but it is also cool to have something planned and to work on a project at times.
