Urban Photoshoot in Hackney Wick with Ricoh Caplio R5

Stepping back in time with a true photography gem, I recently did a photoshoot using the Ricoh Caplio R5, an 18-year-old camera that brings the nostalgia of film back to life. The key to the magic? Its CCD sensor, renowned for producing images with a rich, film-like quality that’s hard to find in modern digital cameras. It's perfect for those who appreciate the authentic, grainy texture reminiscent of analog photography.




For this photoshoot, I ventured to Hackney Wick, one of London’s most vibrant and eclectic areas. Known for its urban landscape, Hackney Wick features a picturesque canal lined with stunning street art and graffiti, creating a gritty yet beautiful backdrop for any urban photo shoot.




The Ricoh Caplio R5, despite its age, didn’t disappoint. The graffiti-covered walls, the reflection of light on the canal, and the industrial charm of the area were captured in stunning detail, evoking the timeless feel of film photography. The CCD sensor in this camera truly brought out the colors and textures, giving each shot a unique character.



Hackney Wick is a treasure trove for photographers, offering an array of dynamic backdrops. From the vibrant street art to the serene canal paths, this location has everything you need to create standout images. It’s a place that allows you to play with the contrast between urban decay and artistic expression, perfect for an urban photography session.
