1. Name Sarah Prins 2. Residence The Hague, the Netherlands 3. Years Shooting I've been taking pictures with eager interest since I was 9. But shooting for other purposes than personal albums since 1 year. 4. Years Shooting Film 6 months 5. Why Halfframe? About seven years ago my friend (he's a great photographer, you should look him up - David Galjaard) gave me a customized Olympus Pen EE3. He was sure I was going to love it as he knew Im a profound storyteller. I immediately fell in love with the idea but it took me a while before I literally picked it up and truly got into it. 6. Why film? As I still had this halfframe camera standing on my desk looking begging at me only catching dust, I always kept the short-story idea in mind. When I started an IG account I took this set-up as a starting point. But I still didn't take the effort to use the camera, so I was manipulating and editing my images to look like half frames. Hashtags led me to @halfframeclub and scrolling away through all this great images I felt like a big cheater. So I decided to finally take the "big step" and going full-on analog. And how my friend was right! This is so much more fun, and refreshing for the brain. Im addicted! Still have a lot to learn and find out though... 7. What's your favorite halfframe camera? What are your favorite films with halfframe? What's your favorite combo? For now I only use my Olympus Pen EE3. Would love to try the Olympus Pen FT, to shoot portraits and to learn more about aperture as I like the depth it adds to images. I use Ektar100 and Fujichrome Sensia-films for their bright popping colors. 8. What are you trying to do or show with your halfframe work? On IG I compose short stories in series of 3 (triptych out of diptychs). I started shooting this series with a journal-like idea of my daily life but I'm looking for more styled shoots/ collabs as well these days. Recently I started adding my digital drawings to the images too - everything is fully under construction as you might notice... 9. When you aren't shooting halfframe you are shooting... With my Phone (Sony) or Nikon D3300 (nikkor 50mm 1:1.8G) 10. Anything else you'd like us to know about you? Other hobbies or interests? Where to follow you besides on IG, etc. I love to make a fire, fresh croissants, hot coffee, my job (running a care farm lunchroom with/for psychiatric clients), trips with my 2 boys, taking a bath, good food, nights (okay I admit, evenings since Im a mom) out with friends, moments alone (rare), family Sundays, secondhand treasure hunting, uhm... I can go on like this for a while, overall I'm very happy with my life and I feel very blessed with the whole course of it. Besides IG (@missesprins) you can find me at the playground or at home - where I truly love to spent a lot of my time after many years of traveling and adventures on the road. PS. HALFFRAMECLUB (DAN) ROCKS!
