#cinestill800t #cinestill400d #mamiyarb67 #nikonf3 #filmphotography A series of medium-format film portraits of a man named Faruk photographed outdoors along the San Antonio River Walk and nearby park paths. Wearing a white ribbed tank top, dark trousers, jewelry, and a patterned bandana, he appears in both color and black-and-white images as he sits by the water, rests on stone steps, leans against a historic wall, lies in the grass, shields the camera with his hand, and gazes into the afternoon light. The photographs emphasize quiet moments, natural light, cinematic composition, and the distinctive grain and halation of CineStill 800T and 400D film. taken in King William Historic District by @cinematicalchemist

#pvmondaylife #dazed #ellemagazine #photovogue #editorial A person wearing an oversized black suit and white dress shirt stands waist-deep in a lake beneath a deep blue sky. Their natural afro frames their face as they look directly toward the camera with a calm, solemn expression. Dark hills stretch across the horizon behind them, and gentle ripples surround their body, creating a quiet, cinematic atmosphere. taken in Austin, Texas by @cinematicalchemist

#dazed Black-and-white editorial portrait series photographed at a historic cathedral in San Antonio, Texas. A model dressed in gothic fashion wears a black lace veil, corset-inspired outfit, fishnet stockings, platform boots, rosary beads, and cross jewelry. The images feature dramatic makeup with graphic eyeliner and dark lipstick, posing in prayer beneath a Virgin Mary statue, standing before the cathedral facade, seated beneath stained-glass windows, and holding a rosary in close-up portraits. The set combines religious iconography, gothic fashion, and cinematic film-inspired photography with high contrast, soft grain, and a moody monochrome aesthetic. taken in San Fernando Cathedral by @cinematicalchemist

#dazed #photovogue #avantgardefashion #fashioneditorials #sonyalpha Editorial fashion portraits of a woman posing on and around a white sport motorcycle outside the El Montan Motor Hotel at dusk. She wears black lace, fishnets, stacked gold jewelry, and dramatic black star-shaped eye makeup with dark lipstick. The images use harsh flash lighting, deep shadows, and saturated neon tones of cyan, magenta, and red, creating a cinematic indie-sleaze atmosphere inspired by motel Americana and Lana Del Rey aesthetics. Wide-angle compositions and low perspectives emphasize the retro motel sign, chrome details, and surreal roadside glamour. taken in San Antonio, Texas by @cinematicalchemist
