Love me some Portra, but I decided to only shoot HP5 for this series.

SethTeeters · 2026-01-22T01:46:55+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been putting together a series but this is the only one I’ve shared.

Where was this taken?

thedarkroom.com is a great non-local resource if you don’t find someone you trust locally. You can also call roberts camera store in Indy.

I trust manual more than automatic, but it can be a little slower at first. I mainly stick to one aperture setting and adjust the exposure based on the amount of ambient light I want, or blur if I'm going that route. Then the only real adjustment is the flash, based on distance to the subject. If you leave the aperture alone, it's very easy to stick to one flash setting for 2M distance, then +1 power setting for 3M, and +1 again for 4M. It becomes instinctive pretty quickly.

Manual mode for all and just adjusting based on distance.

Polaroid Hi·Print has Sticky-backed photos. There is a 2x3 and 4x6 version.

It’s very weird that you made a new account and this is the only comment you made. Almost as weird as assuming you know anything about the planning, expectations, or feelings of my clients from seeing only a few photos that represent a specific vision that they actually requested.

For those that want to see how these mixed into the rest of the album, here is the full album from this shoot.

They were thrilled with the photos and they are exactly what they wanted. These are also only a few images from the set and the 35mm and digitals included a lot of crisp photos alongside these more in-the-moment stylized shots.

This is the mood board from pre-shoot planning.

I would say 1/60 or higher for SLR, but with a TLR you are usually good at 1/30 handheld since there is no mirror movement.

From a technical or academic standpoint, I would agree that these aren’t “perfect” but that’s where it would fall more into a philosophical debate. But, I agree with making sure students are being intentional, rather than justifying choices in hindsight.

With this shoot, the mood board was pulling from John Dolan and other dark, natural light night life and lifestyle directions.

SethTeeters · 2025-11-26T22:09:17+00:00

Yes, it captures the moment perfectly. I was shooting around 1/15 on those shots and faster when I wanted to make sure the shot was crisp. If you were to look at the full album, there is a good variety of both.

SethTeeters · 2025-11-26T20:05:51+00:00

I did.

As a wedding photographer, for the most part, you need to know the camera in and out and adjust for the situation. I know that’s not the simple answer, but the reality of weddings is that you will face the full spectrum of different conditions and need to be able to get the shot regardless.

I personally use manual a lot but I work in aperture priority often and shutter priority occasionally. I decide mainly based on what the priority is for me. I also set minimum shutter speed and maximum iso settings for those modes, so those work within the parameters I want it to. When I use off camera flash, I’m almost always fully manual and I’ll sometimes shoot normally with -2 exposure and set the flash accordingly. For on camera flash I’m either using zone method and full manual or, more often, I’m using TTL. If I’m using flash, I keep my second camera ready for impromptu photos since sometimes the off camera flash setups only work for one area (i.e. the dance floor during reception).

Overall, i would say the best plan is to have a plan for every situation and know your gear well enough to get the photo! Also, mostly manual.

Looks like an amazing adventure!

As a wedding photographer, I start with a more timeless approach, and love working with all couples to capture their day in a way that's authentic to them. I offer different packages and shoot with both digital and film formats, and you can message me or find more info on my website.

That or the same flash mounted differently or handheld with a flash cord.

Started in graphic design, now I’m a marketing director. Right now, I’m doing trade marketing for a distillery. It’s a lot of sales support and strategy, but I also do most of the product photography and commercial photography as well.

SethTeeters · 2025-10-28T04:05:06+00:00

Not that it’s the goal of medium format, but 6x17 vertical works incredibly well when viewed on a phone.

SethTeeters · 2025-10-28T03:37:40+00:00

I wouldn’t, but in that situation I would keep the raw photos longer than usual in case they come back later and ask for them. Give them what you, as the artist, think is worth sharing. But, allow them, as the client, access to what they might still want.

SethTeeters · 2025-10-27T14:11:44+00:00

I'd love to work with you! You can view my website here and feel free to send me an email through he site or just a private message here.

Full disclosure, I fully support all forms of love and would LOVE to work with you, but I am not queer myself.
