My name is Yan Bourke, and this is my photography blog.

I mostly shoot portraits and live music, but I like to try other things too. I contribute to Goldenplec and Zest for Life, and you can find my portfolio at the link below.

Oh, fuck it. Instagram may have sucked ALL the fun out of these photos for me, but I may as well just post them. I actually like how these ones turned out! 

It may well be the last roll I shoot on my Diana for a long time, though. 120 film is expensive, and my newer bellows camera takes way nicer photos.

My girlfriend got me an old bellows camera on eBay for our anniversary (an Agfa Isolette, it looks like this), and I finally got the first roll developed. They came out really well! Here’s a shot of some trees in the Phoenix Park.

We found a tree stump that someone had carved into a chair.

A shot from my rangefinder that came out perfectly :)
I’ve noticed that the DOF I get with it sometimes gives the photos a real sense of depth, which I was hoping to get here.

Got a bunch of photos to upload. Some of them are pretty old, but I’m just going to go with the order they’re named in, which means first up is some disposable camera pictures that came out pretty nicely.

It turns out this is much easier to do than I thought, although obviously I need some practice. This was probably a bad photo to choose, but I have another that worked much better.
