CINESTILL 400D? - 35MM PORTRAITS W/ KHALIL

Logan Poe May 21, 2021

I LOVE shooting Cinestill800t, being both a photographer and a DP I’m biased towards the naturalistic, nostalgic, cinematic images that the film stock is notorious for producing. My only issue, however, is that it’s very difficult to shoot during the day due to its tungsten white balance. The tungsten white balance of the stock makes all the colors shift towards a very unflattering shade of blue while taking photos during daylight hours. So after doing some research I found a very easy workaround: buy an 85B filter and slap it on the front of your lens. This forces the tungsten white balance to shift towards a daylight white balance, meaning it will give more natural colors in sunlight. There is a small trade-off though, unfortunately, you lose a stop of light when using the filter. So it makes the Cinestill800t more like a Cinestill400d in practice.

To test my research out I grabbed my buddy Khalil to shoot some portraits around Bushwick, Brooklyn and I have to say I am VERY pleased with the results. The images came out with a beautiful warm glow that complimented my subject's skin perfectly. And the stock held up very nicely in a variety of different lighting scenarios.

Soft Spot. - A Visual Poem

Logan Poe May 18, 2021

Soft Spot.” is a visual poem shot by me (logan poe) styled by Jye Leong, and modeled by Morgan Vandermaas. The concept was developed by our stylist, Jye Leong, who wanted to expel some emotion while building a nice piece for his portfolio. I later wrote and revised the written poem to go along with the set of photographs. With my visual poems, I aim to paint a picture of a certain mental state or emotional state through the pieces as a whole. This one is titled “Soft Spot.”

Soft spot for the ones who love to run away,

An addiction to escapism that remains commonplace,

Summer spent fast, dreams of summer love in London,

Shared shattered pasts over cigarettes after sex,

Still have a spot for that blonde hair, those black lungs,

Green eyes that almost broke gravity,

Till smoke faded the boundaries that now bind us still,

With an unspoken understanding of an invisible clock,

And an unrealistic, yet romantic thought.

Sorry it never worked out
