Awesome story! It's amazing when it all comes together on the fly like that. Access is everything! Sorry you had to shoot the event (people holding cocktail drinks) but you came away with this beautiful shot that would have never happened otherwise. Bravo!
Really interesting post (and beautiful images). I'm curious about the handler previewing the images and how you manage that. I suppose part of that is expected given the subject and setting (pretty different from a lot of your other work). Does that reality make analog a non-starter (aside from other reasons you might opt for digital)? Like a lot of people, one of the reasons I like film is that neither of us gets to peek at the image until it's back from the developer.
What are your thoughts on showing subjects raw images during the shoot?
This is another really interesting post Adam. As you move from 200th to 60th, on an 80ml lens to pick up ambient. At what point will you start to have to deal with movement, or blur? I have always been interested in the magic behind images with flash / ambient and how to get around making them look like something out of Amateur Photographer.

I love this backstory, Adam.
“I did not have the visual language to articulate anything interesting about the cocktail party and dinner”. I’d love to understand this sentence!
How did it run? We’re you wearing your usual hat and if so did Nicky wonder why she was being photographed by an Australian wheat farmer?
