Ink N Iron | Queen Mary | Photo assignment

June 24, 2013 by Nicole Caldwell

Last Year was my first time at Ink N Iron, and I had the pleasure of photographing the Most Talented Artists for the Sullen Art Collective ( which got me a top 10 spot in the Hasselblad Masters!) This year was Self Assignment, 35 mm, xp2 film, 16-35 and the Fabulous 50mm. I don’t shoot just for me very often, and was inspired by APA LA “Off The Clock” competition, featuring photogs in their “off hours”.
