This was taken just prior to the sunset, as the light cast a warm glow.
All the previously washed out nuances of colour and texture in the environment seemingly emerge from nowhere and take on a golden hue — this is what happens at the so-called “golden hour“.

Part 1 was posted yesterday.
The warmth in this image is courtesy of the setting sun, and is enhanced by C’s equally luminous smile.

As captured on film.
I can try and process my digital files to approximate this look, but — for me — the essence of who we are is better conveyed with the older medium.

If you want to get the most out of your camera, and be a better photographer, turn every “Auto” function on your camera OFF.
Photograph in Manual mode and decide for yourself what the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO should be. If possible, use a prime (fixed focal length) lens and focus it manually.
In this way only will you be able to understand the behaviour and importance of light. In this way only will you begin to anticipate images before they materialize.
—Peter.
To you.

A few years ago, I realized I had never captured her on film.
It was important to me for some reason.
So I started shooting film again.

I look at these images now, and follow the path of light:
originating from the late afternoon sun,
filtering through the window,
touching her face before reflecting off,
traversing the distance between us,
bending in the glass elements of a lens,
and finally etching her image onto an organic emulsion.

The film, like the viewer, is forever altered.
And it all happens in a fraction of a second — just like growing up.

“Camouflage is a method of concealment that allows an otherwise visible animal, military vehicle, or other object to remain unnoticed by blending with its environment.”
