Family Reunion Portraits (Agoura Hills, CA)

Posted on February 2, 2012 by matt

Agoura Hills Family Portrait Photography by Matt Haines. The story follows the images…

Large family groups can be really fun! Sure, sometimes it’s like herding cats, but I really enjoy getting to know families, see how they interact with each other, and laugh and joke. All while juggling exposure, lighting and posing in my head. I usually need a nap afterward, but it’s worth it.

Here I have the pleasure of combining a beautiful family with a beautiful setting: Peter Strauss Ranch in Agoura Hills, California. I’ve shot here three or four times before, and the location always has something new to offer photographically.

Technical stuff: everything shot on the Mamiya 645AF, and Kodak Portra 400 film.

Scanned by Richard Photo Lab, who had to jump through hoops on this particular job. Thanks, Bill!

Bruno Mars (2010)

Posted on January 23, 2012 by matt

I was going through some old images from 2010, archiving them so as to free up some hard drive space. I came across these images of Bruno Mars that I thought were kind of cool. This was before they were big…they were performing as the opening act for the Project Ethos Fashion Show (during Fashion Week LA, in 2010). I shot this digitally for a fashion blog, before I had switched back over to film.
