Rod is a beekeeper at Bee my Honey and lives in Lincoln on a beautiful lifestyle block, with the hives, Wife and three Daughters. I took my Son Thomas with me on this shoot and he hit the jackpot with horses, dogs and alpaca to spend time with as we waited for the light to get better.
We had some interesting chats about all sorts of subjects including social media use and how it effects our kids, through to a period when Rod went to the states and returned some years ago to face some dramatic loss of hives due to parasitic invasions.
What was apparent spending time with Rod is his love for his family, outdoors and the animals he cares for. A great combination.
Interestingly, I captured a selection of images in this set using Cinestiill 800 which traditionally is used for night time image making. The results were great and looked similar to that of Fujifilm 400H in my opinion. What a shame though it is $30 a roll :/ A pack of Portra 800 for this project is going to be more cost effective for sure.
