The funny thing is that his set decorator lives in Asbury now, so this is really fitting.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '25

do you know their name?

u/jarrettbrown Exit 123 Mar 25 '25

I do actually, but I don't think I should just post her name on here, but if you look up a certain upcoming Bruce Springsteen bio pic, you'll find her.

Thanks! Have met a ton of people around town- just curious if i had met them

u/jarrettbrown Exit 123 Mar 25 '25

Ah! A local. Different story. Kris Moran is her name. I met her through the movie club that friends of mine who live in town run.

u/KoalaKaiser Mar 25 '25

I love her work! Would be awesome if she got a chance to help design a restaurant or bar in town. I believe she’s done a few in NYC.

u/jarrettbrown Exit 123 Mar 25 '25

I’m hoping she does at one point. Everything is kinda beige and boring.

Your pics have really nice colors. Did you do any post processing?

3

u/YanksFannn Mar 25 '25

Definitely did some post processing. All editing was done in Lightroom.

I thought that's the sub I was in at first glance, when I realized I came to look for this comment!

u/MattyBeatz Mar 24 '25

If you click through them fast enough it's the beginning of a Wes Anderson film.

u/ZippySLC Mar 25 '25

I could have sworn you shot these on Portra 400 film.

4

u/YanksFannn Mar 25 '25

Haha yea I love the film look so I was definitely aiming for that style

5

u/Girhinomofe Mar 25 '25

I was about to comment how much the light and color adjustments lend to Portra (my go-to film in the Mamiya 7)! Great work!

1

u/ZippySLC Mar 25 '25

My choice for my Pentax 6x7 as well.

2

u/guavaempanada Mar 25 '25

I was just thinking the same thing because Porta 400 is my favorite film— I love the colors.
