Unpublished fashion story
Unfortunately, this story was nixed by the mag we shot it for, so for the time being it’ll be exclusively published…right here!. Yes, here, where you can’t see the grain and blacks that’d make an old-timer proud, but I guess you’ll have to take my word for it that all that is nitty and gritty resides within.
As far as protocol if your story ever gets canceled: I’ve no idea.  In this case, I simply told my team sorry since they wouldn’t be getting tears from it, which I felt bad about. Then I started working on something else.
Keep struggling; it is what matters. Is what my old friend Mr. Diggles tells me in his earnestly paternal voice every time we talk. Indeed.

This is the kind of photography that i would like to achieve myself (specifically the last photo with the amazing shadows and contrasts), but i’m frustrated by the images produced by my DSLR which just seem ‘too real’ or super-saturated. Is there a way to get this kind of result from a DSLR or is it simply a case of using film if i want it to look like film?
@Andy, this story was technically simple. I think it could have been done with any number of cameras, including digital.
