Shooting The Aches

Last winter I had the privilege of helping my friends Colin and Christiana Flanigan with a photo shoot to promote their band The Aches. They specifically wanted an analog film look, so I used my Canon AE1 35mm film camera, along with a Polaroid Colorpack II instant film camera to photograph them. We headed out to a lakefront park in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which gave us a starkly beautiful view of partially frozen Lake Michigan.

Here are some of the shots I captured.

As always, it was a joy to shoot with film. I love the aesthetic of 35mm and instant film, and I didn’t even have to do much work in post to get these images ready for publication. Chris and Colin really liked what we achieved and they’ve have already incorporated some of these images into their Facebook page. Check it out here.

Oh, and they’re also an awesome band! You can listen to some of their music here.
