We’ll stick with the Canon A1 for a bit longer,
as it’s actually one of my favourite cameras and a collection that’s still far from complete !

This artist from Brussels posed for me.
She is a jewellery designer and part of an artistic couple who are also active here.
Both are artists and pose for one another, and above all they are draughtsmen and painters.

She has already featured in a similar photograph...

My “Models on Film” collection:

The portrait was taken with my Canon A1 and an MD 50mm 1.4 lens.

I was able to buy the A1 years ago for next to nothing, and it has always been both a travel companion and a camera I used for #model photography.

I’ll add the photo to this collection as well

Canon A1? That's not a camera that the social media influencers say you have to have! You have to buy all the newest things and go into tens of thousands of dollars in debt otherwise you won't get a picture and there'll be a an earthquake! Without the newest camera with 1000 megapixels and an AI computer inside you won't fit in with the club or look cool on the internet!

winkwinknudgenudge + love from somebody who still uses a beat up 15 year old Canon.

I do love all your comments on the picture / a laugh with influencers ( Who and what are they and who wants to listen to them ) and the Canon A1... There is only one thing you have to know, The A1 is not 15 years old but over 40 years old !!! And it was a period when they made things to work and keep working ;).

@LievenSymaeys Oh I know it's that old, I was talking about my Canon! Rebel T3, they also sold it under a couple different names depending on the market.
