ANALOG: Vintage feeling photoshoot session with Marlow!

  • Get a photoshoot shot with Marlow entirely on an analog camera. No filters, no digital tweaks—just pure, timeless film magic.

    Why choose analog? There’s something about the grain, the depth, and the warm tones of film that digital simply can’t replicate. Each shot is a one-of-a-kind moment, captured with intention and authenticity. With every click of the shutter, you're getting a piece of history—something tangible, something real. Plus, the process of shooting on film slows everything down, letting us really focus on the details and the vibe of the shoot.

    I’ll be working with a 35mm roll of film, which gives you 35 unique photos, each with its own character. You’ll see the subtle imperfections—just enough to make the photos feel lived-in and full of life. It’s not just a photoshoot; it’s an experience. A chance to create memories that look and feel like they’ve been pulled straight from a different time.

    Once the magic happens, you’ll get your high-quality digital files delivered online within just 7 days—so you can enjoy your analog moments wherever you are.

Hey there! Ever thought about spicing up your travel memories? Well, booking a photoshoot while you're on the go can be a game-changer. Here are five reasons why it's worth a shot:

  1. Capture the Moment: Let's be real, when we're traveling, we're too busy soaking in the sights to focus on capturing ourselves in the moment. Having a pro behind the lens ensures those candid laughs and scenic backdrops aren't lost in the shuffle.

  2. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Admit it, posing for photos isn't everyone's cup of tea. But hey, trying something new is what travel's all about, right? It might feel awkward at first, but you'll surprise yourself with how natural you can look in front of the camera, and we are here to help you and make you feel super comfortable!

  3. Quality Souvenirs: Forget about those blurry selfies or asking strangers to snap a quick pic (which may or may not turn out decent). A professional photoshoot guarantees high-quality images that you'll actually want to frame or post on social media to make your friends jealous.

  4. Solo or Squad, No Problem: Whether you're flying solo or traveling with your crew, a photoshoot is a win-win. Solo travelers can finally have some stunning shots that aren't just arm-length selfies. And if you're with loved ones, it's a chance to capture those unforgettable moments together.

  5. Memories that Last: Long after the trip is over and the tan fades, those photos will still be there to bring back all the feels. It's like hitting the replay button on your favorite memories whenever you need a dose of wanderlust.

So, why not add a photoshoot to your travel itinerary? It's a fun, hassle-free way to create lasting memories that you'll treasure for years to come. Say cheese!
