View in Chinese
All shotted by Kodak BW400CN professional film.
Camera: Minolta Dynax5
Lens: Sony 35F1.4G, Sony 85 F1.4 ZA.
Model: Bear, Bigold, Rita, Me, Emma
When this set of photos came to the second model, I found my shot keep falling into old style I made. Just the main object (model) is changed.
Perhaps, I'd need to stop the shot and watch some movies to find some new aspects of view.

I'd like to appreciate for the supporting and caring from my friends and all of strangers (who also became my friends after this activity).
There are many questions asked, and I've picked some to give some feedback.
Q1.Color shift: Why my photos are not exactly B/W?
Someone said that is cause by medicinal liquid not fresh enough, and others said that may cause by film scanner.
As my investigation: Kodak BW400CN is a kind of color negative film in basic, after photography developing some colors may present.
There are some solutions for this, but I wouldn't take any of them. I want the color shift in this set of photos.
1.Change to another Photo Shop (not software).
2.Force it turn into pure B/W when do the film scanning.
3.Force it turn into pure B/W from digital files.
Q2.Why use film, why not digital?
Well, I like the feel of films, especially B/W films. The digital B/W photo is too solid.
I like smooth pictures takes by films, which is difficult to make by digital process.
And I enjoy the process to take picture by traditional camera. I like film over film, just like life keeps going.
Q3.Composition looks similar
I found this problem, too. I will imitate some famous photographers and try to find some new elements.
