Joy
April 24th, 2012
I recently did a shoot (all film!) with the lovely and charming Joy Wilson, aka Joy the Baker at her amazing bungalow in Venice. Here’s an outtake, one of the more serious shots that I love. I’ll share what it was for when the time comes. She was a dream to photograph and knew how to work the camera like a pro. I’d love to photograph more creative people in the future like this.
ps. Joy has a wonderful new book out!

Oooh lady! I was JUST looking through her cookbook and decided on peanut butter bacon cookies when I saw that you posted this. Really lovely shot!

Kate, this portrait is so good !
Love the tones, and it’s got a 50′s feel to it, with her thin waist and shirt and hairdo :)
+ I’m a sucker for Velvia…

I need to find someone in town who will process it without cross processing it because I’ve yet to enjoy Velvia in its natural state!

Not sure, Joy is a crazy busy lady these days on her book tour but I’ll see if she gets a chance to answer!

i’m always cautious about cross processing because it can look very lomo-ish, if you get my drift, but this portrait looks wonderful because it has more pastels and a faded look and less toy camera colors. hope you can share the rest soon.

thanks! I really didn’t want to cross process it, but my developer no longer will process E6 film regularly, so I had no choice unless I wanted to turn around and find someone else that day. Luckily I’m happy with the results and I only shot a few with this film.

I love Joy the Baker! Her Pull-Apart Cinnamon Bread haunts my dreams, it’s so good. This is a great portrait of her. I’m eager to see about getting my hands on some Velvia film.
