Lomography LomoChrome Turquoise 35 mm ISO 100-400 Film Sample Photos in Porto, Portugal!

(By using the links and/or codes below it supports Myles Katherine Photography. We may get a small kick back by you doing so.)

You guys know I love LomoChrome Purple film in both 35 mm and medium format), but in the past I had only tried the LomoChrome Turquoise in 120 format. I finally purchased a roll of 35 mm Turquoise film and took it with me to Portugal! I used my trusty Minolta Maxxum STsi (one of my favorite 35 mm travel cameras) and took photos on our all-day bus tour in the Douro Valley and all throughout Porto. I’m kind of obsessed with the results! I love any film that adds a surreal atmosphere to my images and this film definitely does that. Plus, the Minolta Maxxum STsi has a panorama setting, which is perfect for traveling and allows me to capture wide landscapes and unusual compositions. You can read more about that camera on my blog here!

As you’ll see in the sample photos below, skin tones typically show up as blue, which is super unique and strange. If you’re looking for a film to push you out of your comfort zone and create an alien world, this is it! I love the way it looks with architecture, particularly. It’s very moody and cinematic, with quite a bit of grain, especially with multiple exposures. It also seemed to do decently well in low light situations. I probably wouldn’t use this film for a typical wedding or portrait client, but I would definitely consider it for a musician or artist who are looking for stand-out portraits.

I still think I might like the LomoChrome purple film better, but it’s always fun to try something new. One of the reasons I love Lomography so much is because of their fearlessness when it comes to creating new and unique films. I haven’t really found anything out there on the market that resembles the LomoChrome Purple or Turquoise films. They are truly unique.

If you’re feeling bold and adventurous, here are a few of my favorite unique Lomography films! Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see the rest of the images I took with the LomoChrome Turquoise film in Portugal!

Holga & 35 mm Photographs Featured in the "Art From Within" Exhibition at Steven Francis Fine Art Gallery in Lynchburg, Virginia

 

St. Augustine Beach, Florida

When I was a sophomore at University of Lynchburg, my teacher, Steven Coates taught me how to shoot film, print in the darkroom and put together a strong portfolio. He has always been incredibly supportive of my work. After graduating from college with a degree in Studio Art, I worked for Steve as a photographer’s assistant for about year before moving to Portland, Oregon in 2012. Then, after moving back to Virginia in 2019, I began working for him again as an assistant and web designer. I’ve been managing his website for the last few years and helping with social media. His gallery, Steven Francis Fine Art Gallery, has been putting out incredible exhibitions over the past few years, filled with local, national and international artists. The latest exhibition, Art From Within, is a staff show, showcasing work from all of the people that help the gallery run smoothly. I’m honored to be a part of the show and to have my work hanging alongside such talented artists, including Steve himself. Below are a few of my photographs featured in the show. There are black and white 35 mm film photographs from Paris and Scotland, along with colorful Holga photographs taken in St. Augustine, Florida, Chinoteague, Virginia and Corolla, NC. If you’re interested in purchasing a print, contact me here!

And if you’re in Lynchburg or close by, make sure to stop by and see the show!
