Given that his latest song is called “Lens,” it is fitting that the musician Frank Ocean should have spent much of the Met Gala gazing through a Contax T3 35mm at guests like Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, Zoë Kravitz, and Jaden Smith (plus his freshly shorn dreadlocks). He is old school that way, preferring the authentic analog grain of film over digital immediacy. The results are as sharp as the Balmain ensemble he sported all night—and while no one wants him to give up the day job, Ocean’s images suggest a whole new evening job could be his for the taking.
Ciao Contax T3 (:
