Wandering around the vineyard with my Pentax 67 and Kodak Portra 400, my eyes suddenly fell upon a beautiful girl surrounded by nature, breeze, and sunshine. Immediately, I pressed the shutter to capture those moments. Enjoy!


Artist

My name is Kittipon Jantarapiban and I am a Thai Photographer. Film cameras fascinate me by there procedure. The process of taking each photo makes it more valuable. I focus on portrait and emotional photography. If you like my work, feel free to check out my Instagram and FB Page.

Gear and Film Stock

I use Pentax 67 with the Super Takumar 105 F2.4 Lens. This camera captures in medium format. Loading Kodak Portra 400 into the camera is a great choice for shooting Portraits. It renders a smooth skin tone and fine resolution grain. It is my favorite film and captures warm hues perfectly.

Wandering Vineyard

I was wandering around the vineyard when my eyes suddenly fell upon a beautiful girl surrounded by nature, breeze, and sunshine. Immediately, I pressed the shutter to capture those moments from the perspective of my Pentax 67. These photos were taken around midday in October. The sunshine in Thailand was strong that day so it was quite hot outside. We found ourselves at the Isssara Boutique Winery Hotel about 2 hours north of Bangkok. Here you can enjoy wine tasting and the whimsical atmosphere.

Method and Process

For this roll of photography Need to shoot in relatively low light as well. I therefore chose to use film with iso400. And lenses that are suitable for portrait photography So I chose the Pentax SuperTakumar 105 F2.4. Which can provide images with beautiful dimensions, scenes and backgrounds. About the film scanner I use Norisu SH1800, I like my photos to be brightly shadow and tone of them are light.
