The adventures with the fun toy camera, Kodak Charmera continues! This time, I brought it out to shoot some nice portraits of my friend, Lily and I thought it would be fun to try out the black and white feature this time. While the images do appear very low in resolution due to the 1.6MP sensor used in the Kodak Charmera, image quality isn't the priority of the session. I intentionally added coarse grain in post-processing to take off some of the artificial digital smearing of details, rendering less plasticky looking results. The unexpected outcome was that these images look like they were cut out from newspaper! Another day, another fun outing with the Kodak Charmera!
It would be interesting to hear what Lily makes of these images, which ones she favours over the others, and so on. Indeed, I think that for some of your photoshoots, the "model's commentary" would provide another perspective and a different insight into the process.
ReplyDeleteAs always, the results are excellent, even within the constraints of this particular photographic tool. The processing effect really does make the images reminiscent of archived newspapers!
