Portrait photography on medium-format film

Honest, cinematic portraits created using traditional analogue processes.
I’m Michael McCudden, a photographer and filmmaker based in Bray, Wicklow.
I create cinematic portrait photography for individuals, actors and families.
Many of my portraits are photographed on medium-format film using traditional analogue processes.
Each portrait is captured on medium-format film using a Mamiya RB67, hand-developed in the darkroom, and carefully scanned.
This deliberate, cinematic process creates portraits with presence, texture, and permanence — slow, deliberate images for life. Portraits that exist beyond the digital world.

Sessions are relaxed and collaborative, focusing on honest expressions and quiet moments.
Portrait sessions can be booked through the site.
