Hasselblad - 2024
In my freshman year at Drexel, I was given the opportunity to use a Hasselblad 501CM to shoot on for my classes. I had shot film before, but medium format made me slow down a step more. I learned to take my time, balance exposures manually, and create level, well composed photos,
During my time with the Hasselblad I shot portraits, landscapes, and street, but I fell in love with urban exploration. I explored apartments, churches, factories— all abandoned. I took particular interest in the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Plant in North Philly.
Pictured below are some of my favorite shots from my time with the Hasselblad. I loved taking a different approach with a 120 camera and taking it to some places I probably shouldn’t have…
