I shot my first portrait session on color film recently.

Ok to be honest, I still shot most of it on digital. I had never used this film before, and I wanted to make 100% sure that we got the shots we needed out of it. But I shot a bit of Agfa 200 on my Nikon FM as well, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how these images turned out.

I will be sharing the digital images from this session in a bit, but something about the colors and the grain in these images makes me super happy, so I'm going to share these first.

This is a cheap film, only a couple dollars for a roll of 35mm, and that combined with the fact that I barely know what I'm doing with c41 (color) developing meant that I had pretty low expectations for how these would turn out. But Agfa had good reviews online so I figured I'd give it a try. And look at those colors- gorgeous! I think this is going to be a film that I keep coming back to. It renders absolutely beautifully. And of course this family is super cute, so that definitely helps.

Stay tuned for the rest of this session- I'll be sharing shortly. But until then, here's the rest of the film shots!
