    1984 Agfachrome film portrait of my daughter

    Had some old negatives scanned and found this gem from 30 years ago. Contax 139 Camera, 100mm planar, Agfapan color film.

    it is a gem Travis, skin texture, eyes, lovely capture of the hair too. Looks like it could have been a candidate for a Vermeer style portrait.

    Wonderful image. Consider converting to monochrome.

    Your daughter looked at that age amazingly similar to how a 20-year-old friend of mine looked at that age.

    Hi Travis I agree with Pania about the Vermeer style portrait. I like the shot

    Agfa made some good color slide films. In the '80s they made the color more neutral, which made for nice portraits. They still produce decent films, just not sheet film. Their APX B&W film makes for really good photos, but is out of production the last I knew.

    This photo is a good example of their quality. As a dad, I can say it's a real heart warmer!
