highcastle photography

My style would best be described as what i call guerilla photography: working with what we have when we have it. I like natural shots with natural lighting, but i do like to experiment.

I use both digital and unique film cameras such as lomos, holgas, diana + and a Yashica Mat 124G. If you know what those are, you might enjoy my work and working with me.

I look for models who aren't afraid to be themselves. I look for people with a timeless quality to them, whether they're simple and elegant or covered in tattoos. Unique beauty is a must, as is intelligence, maturity and a willingness to get your feet dirty. I see myself as an artist; i dont make much money off my work as i dont sell my work for commercial purposes. My goal is to have my work shown in museums and galleries. If youre in this for the art, you should consider working with me.

PLEASE DONT TELL ME YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING "CLASSY" OR "TASTEFUL"
These words mean nothing to me. be specific in what you want to do. everyone's idea of 'classy' and 'tasteful' is different, so be specific. I believe nothing is vulgar if you shoot it right so if youre the kind of person that says things like 'classy' and 'tasteful' we probably wouldnt be compatible.

My main focus is film photography. this requires a little patience, but the results are worth it, as you can see from my selected portraits.

My influences include diane arbus, man ray, and haskell wexler. Cinema is a very powerful influence for me, and I think that shows in my work.
