Summer Picnic

For the editing, I wanted to fully commit to a film aesthetic. I started researching different film stocks and how their colors and tones translated into photographs. I already knew I wanted something vibrant and warm, with a slightly hazy feel inspired by the look of Fujifilm. Eventually, I found myself really liking the look of Kodak Ultramax. I loved how the colors seemed to pop without losing that nostalgic feeling, and it felt like the perfect match for the atmosphere I had in mind.

Overall, this was a really fun shoot. I went into it wanting to create something with a strong film-inspired look, and this event ended up giving me exactly the kind of environment I needed. I'm really satisfied with how the photographs came together — and, more importantly, with how closely the final result matched the feeling I had in my head when I started.
