A Portrait of Elegance: Mutmai
Mutmai. She is a model who embodies beauty and sensuality with every pose, and capturing her on film was an unforgettable experience. Following her at IG @mutmai.miraruch
The Cameras
For this shoot, I worked with two cameras: a 135mm film camera Contax S2 with 85/1.4 lens and my medium-format Pentax 645NII. The Pentax, loaded with Fuji Pro 160NS 120 film, delivered stunning clarity and depth, perfectly complementing Mutmai’s radiant presence. Additionally, two of the black-and-white images were shot on Berlin 400 film—my first time using it—which added a distinct, moody texture to the session.
The Concept
The goal was to highlight Mutmai’s natural allure using soft, natural light. Every frame emphasized her elegance and the intricate play of shadows across her skin. The results were both intimate and timeless, a testament to the unique qualities of film photography.
The Experience
Shooting with Mutmai is always a joy. Her confidence and poise make every moment feel effortless. With film, every shot counts, and each click of the shutter was an intentional celebration of her beauty.
