When this job came up to shoot a party in London that was all about (and to quote) “Taking the sounds and style of the 1920s and 30s, turning them on their head and smuggling them into the 21st century” I knew straight away that I had to shoot it TTV.

Inspired by Pete Ashton’s work with TTV – I could see the potential for getting¬†authentic¬†looking old school photos without having to resort to using real fim or photoshop.

5 mins on ebay later and I had a Kodak Brownie Reflex and a Kodak Duaflex in the post as well as some close up filters.

A few days later and after a blue peter-esque cardboard cutting and duct tape session, I had two contraptions to play with.

I opted for the Kodak Brownie in the end as it was giving me better results, a bit sharper overall Р thats the one on the right in the pic.

Final additions were to build some little cardboard lens hoods as I was using flash with my camera, and also taped a torch onto the side so I could focus in the dark.

I shot both TTV and low key with my DSLR and processed into various black and white options to give some variation to the photos. The sort of thing you expect when you look through a bunch of old photos, they all look a bit different.
