About Yosuke Suzuo

Age: 29, Location: Kobe, Japan

Bio: Born in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1982. Currently live and work in Kobe, Japan. Started shooting film photos in 2005, when I was working as a 35mm cinema projectionist at a movie theater in Kobe. I love film photography. I’m mainly interested in a street photography. My aim is taking a photograph as if it has own scent or sound. Tells history behind people’s faces. As you know, we hit by the terrible disaster on 3.11, and its effects are still ongoing. At now, we share the firm belief that we rebuild from the devastation. We are deeply grateful for your help from all over the world.

I am still néw to color film and didn't know if there was a film that produce warmer tones? If it exists.

And also what film would you recommend for someone on an extreme budget but is still good quality or at least decent.

You can try Kodak Portra, is specially designed for natural looking skin tones. I believe there is a NC (natural color) and VC (vibrant color) so you would want to try the NC. You could also have your prints done on a warm toned paper, or shoot through a warm toned transparency. You can also pull film to reduce the contrast for a paler, flater look. If you don’t know how to Pull, I posted a link to a tutorial a little while ago: http://istillshootfilm.org/post/454922463/how-to-push-and-pull-film

Hope that helps :)
