Contact sheet: With intention

A photo gallery by Nicole Donis

I prefer to shoot with film. I appreciate the challenges it brings and the results it creates. It’s raw and authentic in a way that can’t be duplicated. It also forces you to take more time and consideration with each shot. You really have to be intentional and I think that helps me grow.

I love shooting creative people. I find their stories and backgrounds fascinating. I want to include them but I also want to include their lifestyle and outlook on life as much as possible. Every detail in the photo counts. I just want to try and capture an ounce of their spirit and hope that can be perceived by others. My photography is always going to be different because my subjects are different. That’s what keeps life interesting.
