VP Twin Portraits project
by Michael Sturgess
In February 2011 I emailed my friends with the idea of taking two portraits of them using the VP Twin camera. I asked them to pose how they wanted to and also where they wanted. Those who agreed to take part all had the same idea: take the portraits after a beer or three in the pub.
The indoor shoots were disappointing due to the lack of light and the lack of settings on the VP Twin; but the beers were great.
So after two rolls of film with no results I had to impose an ‘outdoor portraits only’ rule. Cue the pub beer garden.
I was still having problems with the film rolling on regardless of what I was doing and not laying flat across the back of the camera but I finally had the start of the VP Twin Portraits project.
