ghost of summer past

This was my second or third attempt of pushing Cinestill 400D, insipred by my first time pushing the film in Japan. However, this was the first time I shot ‘1600 ISO’ film in conditions with an abundance of light. At first, I was afraid that the film would be overexposed and the photos wouldn’t turn out, but I was beyond blown away by the results. I adore how the photos seem to glisten with this surreal and cinematic quality to them, and how beautifully the colours rendered.

This roll beautifully captures my time in Vietnam, back and forth between my two hometowns, with equal parts longing for the past, and beckoning of the future.
