RIEL SELFPORTRAITS
When Emma started with analog photography we were living in the COVID-ages. It was in the middle of the second lockdown and she felt quite close to becoming insane so she picked up her camera and started to take self-portraits. This resulted in 22 rolls of exposed film in less than a month.
After playing around with 35mm for 1.5 years she felt ready to take on a new challenge: medium format film.
One of her all time favourite female photographers is Vivian Maier and it was her dream to have her own two-eyed Rolleiflex at some point. This moment came sooner than expected. A photographer she worked with in the past sold her his mint-edition beauty, it was love at first sight between her and this gem of a camera. Since then, taking self-portraits has been more challenging as well as more satisfying. Most images you see down below were taken with this camera. Getting the focus right and running from the camera into your composition is half the fun, you should try it out!
One of her more recent passions is making cyanotypes from her negatives. You can view them here.
Besides photography and modelling, Emma loves all sort of ways to express herself such as singing, acting, painting, pottery and writing. This creative centipede will always be eager to learn and develop herself!
