Film #008

This is the second film from the girl that sent me the previous one. This film is similar in content to the previous one: photographs of friends out having a good time. It also seems to be split between at least two different events. One of which seems to be some kind of party in the woods, with a makeshift DJ booth set up with tarpaulins and people dancing amongst the trees, such as in this photograph:


Film 8 - 4

This is a great image, the frozen people dancing and the fact that it’s clearly still daytime makes it appear quite surreal and bizarre. It’s also clearly a candid shot, as are most of the photographs on this film.




Film 8 - 1

To me, this is the most aesthetically pleasing photograph from this film. The upwards shot through the trees with the sunlight shining through the leaves has a very whimsical quality.




As the film progresses, it appears to me that the photographer is possibly getting more inebriated in one way or another, the composition gets a little erratic and there are a few photographs taken very close to people’s face with flash, resulting in this effect:

Film 8 - 21

Film 8 - 14


This film was taken from a disposable camera and it think it really captures the essence of what those cameras are all about: candid, heavy on the flash and most importantly, capturing the passing moments in times of celebration and festivity.


All of the photographs from this film can be found on Flickr.


Please feel free to discuss these photographs, or any others from the film in the comments!
