Revolog makes some really cool film stocks, and I decided to shoot some of their Snovolox BW film while traveling around Berlin. This stock is really cool because it emulates snowflakes around the frame. The challenge is shooting frames without knowing where the "flakes" will be positioned. Berlin has a really neat, industrial vibe, and I thought it would pair with this film really well.

I really liked the snow effect outlining my friend. I thought it added a nice depth to the portrait.

Here, I enjoyed the framing and leading lines of the shot, in addition to the added texture shown by the snowflakes.

I really loved how well the highlights are shown in this shot, and how crisp the building came out.

I liked the framing of this shot, and the snow contrasting with the darker structure.

I liked the somberness of this shot, and the touch of snow seemed to add to that feeling.

Here, I shot a candid of my friends standing on the sidewalk, and I thought the snow effect made the whole frame seem a little more jovial.

I liked the collision of these two structures in the frame, particularly in black and white.

Finally, I enjoyed this more classic feeling shot of the German flag blowing in the breeze, backed by the architecture of Berlin.

Berlin has a lot of cool history, and the aesthetic really lends itself to gritty black and white work. The snow effect was a cool experiment for me to shoot, and I was happy with how many of the shots turned out! I have some other films from Revolog that I am excited to try.
