Gabrielle Jaylene (@__gabrij) attached a zoom lens to her SLR, loaded it with Portra 400 and shot this portrait session with Didi Rivera (@didi.rivera_) from Ford Models. The images alternate between frames on grass under direct sun and ones shot against weathered white siding. Jaylene works with both digital and film, choosing 35mm here for its flexibility. The model, Didi Rivera, moves between casual ease and direct engagement with the camera. The compositions stay clean: tight headshots, three-quarter portraits, straightforward framing that lets the subject carry the work.

Shot With
Canon EOS-1V and Kodak Portra 400.
