Vodka self portrait (6%)

Vodka self portrait original photography

Vodka self portrait was shot in the morning, in Courbevoie or La Garenne Colombe in Paris Suburbs with a cheap vintage Nikon F401, on a low cost expired Photocite 400 film, that was 7 years expired, and home developped. All that as cheap as a small bottle of vodka left on a window edge. No composition, I found it like that :-)

You can see the picture on my photography Instagram

Sundays (4%)

Sundays original photography Sundays is shot with the same gear and film as Vodka self portrait. Definitely a set made for alcohol related photos. Except that the camera was old and the 'automatic' film mecanism jammed, creating that nice dual exposure of my wife and some left over from last night diner most probably.

It is also features on my Instagram photography page
