#tesla 2

Once in a while we get submissions (hint, hint, you can send us pictures :)) and we want to share them with you, of course!

This time, talented photographer Audrey Waleyko sent us what she’s produced with our Kolor, Tesla 2 and Volvox films. We wanted to know more about her and her photography, so that’s what she said:

I started shooting photography my sophomore year of college while studying Philosophy at Pepperdine in Malibu when I was awestruck by the beauty of Southern California after having grown up in Colonial New England my entire life. I learned to shoot on a digital camera, but when I started taking more conceptual series, I was always frustrated by the quality of digital shots and that's when my friend introduced me to analog work when she scanned a roll of Revolog Tesla online. I was instantly hooked on having to plan my shots and think more critically about the subject matter and what I was trying to achieve with a limited number of takes, and found myself scouring the internet for unique film stocks to get the appearance of edited photos without the post-processing. I shot my first roll of film in the spring of 2014 with Lomochrome Purple before purchasing the entirety of Revolog's stock and experimenting with the films a bit to explore the unique nuances that came with each roll. I still shoot some digital work, but I've switched over to film as my primary photographic method. Revolog Kolor is my favorite to use for portraits, while Tesla 2 is my favorite for landscapes. I'm road tripping the entire Southwest this summer-from the Grand Canyon and Sedona to White Sands and Taos-and planning to take some 460 and 600nm, Lazer, Tesla2, Streak, and Snovlox 100ISO from 2 years ago along with Kodak Portra and Fuji Velvia with me on a Breaking Bad themed trip, so I can't wait to share what comes of that on my website. Of my 12 cameras, I'm partial to my Polaroid Sun660 and Minolta X-700 all the way. Gotta have the vintage 80s look in all black wherever you go.
