Combo #144 (Joaquin Montalvan)

By on July 7, 2013
Lens:  Americana 
Film:  Robusta 
Flash: off

"The Americana lens is smooth, and clean, with a touch of the dreamy like the hull of a 1950's Airstream, while the Robusta film adds a touch of dirt and grit like you might get on your car after a long road trip. This is a classic and classy combo that is great for still life work, landscapes, and even portraits,... anything that wants to have a nostalgic look.

I usually prefer more stylized color, texture, and scuffing around the edges of the frame, but I discovered this combo while playing around with the new Sao Paolo HipstaPak, and have fallen in love with it. It's a nice, clean break from some of the more exotic combos I have saved in my favorites, and is perfect when I have that rare desire for a more naturalistic image."
