How do i achieve this effect?

[Sianypoo]

Hello,

Im looking to start doing fashion photography, and im a big fan of the hazy soft look to photographs, much like the one i have posted below. I am wondering does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this effect?? I plan on using film, both colour and black and white, and really want to be able to achieve this effect without having to digitally manipulate it!

Thankyou, thats just the effect i am after!! however i am looking to achieve this with a film camera, and if i can stay away from photoshop. Ive heard putting Vaseline on my lens can achieve a hazy effect, but im abit worried to do this incase of ruining my lens

i think my best bet is to experiment putting things over the lens, eg, tights or cling film and just see how it turns out.

yeh i didnt really fancy putting Vaseline straight onto the lens, so thanks for that tip Nick T

Thanks guys

Well to get that straight out of camera i'd think you'd have to go the lomo/hipstamatic approach. Those shots to me look digitally edited. So i guess you'd either have to by some toy/boutique cameras, or use software.

im going to attempt to cover my lens in tights or cling film to see what kind of effects i can achieve. If all else fails it looks as if im going to have to use photoshop

please dont spray the forum with the same question, as this makes the balance of the universe start to shift, causing many odd problems, culminating in small villages in the congo disappearing.

It might be net curtain or something similar over the lens but looking at the creases makes me suspect crumpled paper scanned and used as a texture layer.

that shot's definitely faffed about with digitally. You could experiment with double exposures on film, though it's always a bit of a "shoot and hope" exercise. If you've got a decent film camera such as the Canon EOS-1v/Nikon F5/F6, they're pretty much spot on in frame registration, and will rewind leader out. So - you can shoot a roll of textures, then rewind, and re-load the texture spool, and go shoot your portrait set. Shoot the roll of film at it's normal ISO and -1 ev compensation in both cases, and the neg's should be properly exposed. And Good Luck - expect to burn 5-6 rolls before you get something useable. That's why people use photoshop these days.
