Be My Valentine

Shooting expired film on the streets of downtown Asheville, North Carolina.

This capture was made on expired Kodak Max 400 film that was given to me by a photographer friend of mine. Needless to say, the colors that resulted have a very over processed look. I determined the age of the film to about 10 years old, but still it was a guessing game regarding how to properly expose the film. I slightly overexposed the film when shooting to compensate for any flatness and underexposure that would occur, be even then the developed negatives were a bit dark and lacking contrast. I had them scanned at French Broad Imaging (located in Asheville) and made corrections in Adobe Camera Raw.

Still, the photo has a rather vintage quality about it, and the narrative is what I personally find the most intriguing.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
