A few weeks ago I met up with the lovely Vanessa Tait to shoot a little set of images that I had wanted to do in the sea! After rummaging around in the local vintage shops I managed to get together a suitable outfit. You can see these images on the wonderful Whim Online Magazine website by following the link or clicking the image below :)

Here are some more images from the shoot too :)

Back at the start of the year I  began planning a shoot with a wonderful stylist by the name of Lauren Segal, after a whole heap of emails we settled on a shoot date and got a team together. We met up mid April in London along with make-up artist Izzy Cammareri and model Jade Lindo with designs by Frida Hoffman. 

This week the editorial was published in the newly released Solstice Magazine, you can see us on pages 80-89, follow this link or click the image below, a printed version of the magazine can also be purchased! :)

Here are some more images from the shoot, you can also see more over at www.tomsimmonds.com | www.tomsimmonds.com/analoguebox:

Camera Finds: Bronica ETRsi

It's been an awfully long time since I've done one of these camera finds posts and to get back into it I thought I'd go with a beast of a camera, the Bronica ETRsi! This camera was one of my early attempts at gambling with my money on eBay and to my relief I ended up with something that wasn't utterly terrible! :D The ETRsi is primarily a medium format camera but it's also incredibly versatile with a broad range of film backs available.

Apart from it's many uses as a camera the overall build quality and the feel of the camera when operating it is one of the things I like most about it, it's an absolute joy to use! As I mentioned previously you can get many back for this camera including a Polaroid version and you can even get an attachment to use a digital back if you have more money than sense. 

I managed to get my hands on two types in addition to my 120 version, these allow me to to shoot with 35mm film on this camera. The 135N and 135W the latter of which after using prompted me to alter my style of shooting to incorporate a more panoramic and cinematic look to my work.
