Sound Council
Sound Council is what happens when two brothers are both music artists chasing the same dream. Pittsburgh-based Jesse and Joziah were both visiting Philly late-October when we decided to put together this portrait session. We got started on a cloudy afternoon and I let the two of them get comfortable, play music and play around, express themselves however they wanted, while I moved around them and shot when it felt right.
We drove to a nearby park with a general idea that there’d be a lot of colors with the changing leaves, but for the most part, we just walked around until we found a scene with good textures and light. Our shoot was laid back. We trusted each other to do our best, work with what we had, and have fun. It was like hanging out, really.
For this shoot, I shot three rolls of film in three cameras. I loaded up Portra 400, pushed one stop, in my Nikon F3, Lomo 800 in a Mamiya 645, and a roll of Fuji Pro400H in a Ciroflex TLR camera from the 1940s.
