Leica M6 or Mamiya 7ii?

Ive never tried a 7ii, sorry cant say.

Do you scan your negatives yourself? If so what machine do you use/recommend?

I scan all my Polaroids, Instax and sprocket rocket shots. I use an Epson 750. For standard 35mm shots, EOS-3, Leica M6, I just get those scanned at the lab.

Ive used a few Epson scanners and love the 750 the most.

Well, show me what you can do. Id be more than happy to be proud of you.

I love the photo you just posted, but is it wrong that the first thought that popped in my head was wondering if either lady farted in your ear? I’m such a strange person, I’m terribly sorry…haha

Hahaha. Im sure you’re not the only one having that thought. In fact at the time Julie joked she would.

Nothing like creating some art, hanging with Mallory, my lovely lady Julie and practicing some good old fashion booty worship. One of my favorite things about art is it brings people together; sometime literally.

What kind of models do you shoot? Do you shoot amateurs? Do you do trade work?

It all depends on the model and the situation. Its a conversation with every model. I like to shoot creative people that inspire me. There is no hard and fast rule on what type of people those are; so contact me at derek@derek-woods.com and lets chat.
