20240511 Dubai, United Arab Emirates. ๐ฆ๐ช. My beautiful mulberry tree. I planted it 5-4 years ago and I am so proud of it, producing fruit already I know I can get irrationally emotional about my plants. Itโs hard to explain, but I love them so much ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน ูุฃููู ุนูุงูู #shereenasdarkroom #shereenalootahphotography #filmisnotdead #filmisalive #homedeveloped #arista #aristac41kit #wolfen #wolfen400nc
20240225 Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Sikka Art Fair This film went through so much but despite that it still gave me some beautiful images regardless of the major light leaks and exposure to light. It snapped off the canisterโs spool when I tried to wind it back, leaving the whole roll stuck in the camera. I really wanted to reload with new film and decided to change the film while in my camera bag and covered it with a scarf to try to block out some light, and stuffed the film into a film can in the meantime. Itโs these unexpected results that urge me to continue shooting film and be so fascinated by it. ู ู ู ูุฒ ุชุตููุฑ ุงููููู ุ ูู ุงูู ุชุชูุงุฌุฃ ุจุงููุชุงุฆุฌ ู ุชูุจูุฑ ุจูุง. ุชููู ุนูุฏู ุชููุนุงุช ุนู ุงูุตูุฑู ูุงูููู ูููู ูู ูุง ูุง ูุง ุนูุฏู ูู ุดู ุซุงูู ุจูุนุฌุจู ๐ ๐๏ธ Wolfen NC 400 Camera ๐ท Nikon FE10 Chemistry ๐งช Arista C41 kit #filmisnotdead #filmisalive #lightleak #filmphotography #colorfilmphotography #c41 #homedevelopedfilm #homedeveloped #aristac41 #wolfennc400 #nikonfe10 #sikkaartfair #dubai #uae #uaephotography #shereenasdarkroom #shereenalootahphotography
When we were kids my uncle photographed us all on one couch (cousins and siblings), and that photo is so imprinted in my brain. I wanted to do the same for my nephews and niece, I want them to have a no frills photo on a couch that they will always remember the way I remember that one photo ุฎุงููู ุชุญุจูู ูุซุฑ ู ุง ูู ุชูุงุชู ุนูููู ๐ฅน๐ ู ุงูุซุฑ ๐ธ #mamiya #rb67 ๐๏ธ #fomapan 100 ๐งช #ilford #filmisnotdead #bwphptography #shereenasdarkroom #shereenaphotography #shereenalootahphotography
If the me back in uni could see me now.. I could barely print a decent black and white print, I was just flailing in the dark..room (pun intended) So to see and finally experience printing a color photograph, on my own terms, time and in my own space, no grades involved, no deadlines, no pressure, has been such a joyful experience. Honestly the process is always the best part, the final result is an added bonus. #shereenasdarkroom #shereenaphotography #darkroom #ra4print #fujifilm #slowlybutsurely
This slide film ๐๏ธ was forgotten in my drawer for 7 years, I couldnโt find any labs locally to develop it for me except for 1 lab that kept it for a month with no update, then gave me attitude literally replying to me with โyou didnโt lose any of your precious time, the wait in labs abroad is a month and moreโ when I asked about the status and the delay. So naturally I got really upset and said RETURN IT, I CAN DO IT MYSELF ๐ค I decided itโs time I learn E6 processing, and that was the most spite-driven decision I made but the best one. ๐ #shereenasdarkroom #darkroom #shereenaphotography #fujifilm #fuji #expiredfilm #35mm #dslrscanning #minolta #slidefilm #e6process
Fresh baked artisan loaf by @olarubb , this frame was probably my favorite from the reel Camera/ Mamiya 645e Film/ Kodak Portra 160 Developing chemicals/ Unicolor #shereenasdarkroom #darkroom #photography #shereenaphotography #mamiya645 #mamiya #120film #kodakportra160 #kodakportra #breadstagram #bread #unicolorc41kit
Fresh baked artisan breads by @olarubb were a great subject for me to shoot with 3 formats (digital, 35mm, 120) I almost feel bad for this negative because it was abused by me, but I actually donโt mind the outcome. I find it interesting how each frame in this film turned out different, even though it was essentially of the same subject #shereenasdarkroom #breadstagram #filmphotography #darkroom #homedarkroom #dslrscanning #

You have no idea how happy I was to see an actual image- ๐๐๐ I was so scared I'd get a blank negative! Yay!
