A colourful collaboration

It is not a secret that I like collaborations, had a few of them here on Substack. I do believe that a collaboration is beneficial for all parties involved and from my point of view it is also a challenge meant to take me out of my own comfort zone. I said it here a few times and I will repeat it: if you are up for a collaboration or an interview, send me an email at contact.perfectlight@gmail.com

The most recent collaboration presented here was the one with Susanne where we swapped a roll of black and white 35mm film after we exposed it but not develop it. The other person will then re-expose the film and only after that the film was developed. The result is a set of double exposed images with a big surprise as person A doesn’t know what person B has been photographing. We were so happy with the results that we decided to do it again but this time with a colour film. Also, we learned from the previous experiment that images are not perfectly aligned so this time we decided to use the same camera (Canon AE-1) and mark the start of the film hoping for a perfect alignment. Well, the alignment was anything but perfect but it was definitely an improvement.

Before I show you the results, I will ask you to stay tuned as Susanne will present her part of collaboration next week. Judging by the teaser that she showed us a few weeks ago, it’s going to be a delight. And a final note: all images taken with Canon AE-1 camera, a 35-70mm Canon FD lens and Kodak Gold 200 film. Enjoy!
