How Much Longer

I’ve always loved the idea of shooting from above and when I had the chance to shoot in a large studio space with a custom built table like this, I needed to make this happen. From a technical standpoint, it was a bit complex to set up and execute. The camera was mounted to aContinue reading “How Much Longer”

New 55 Film – Round 2

New 55 Test: Nude Figure with Window Light

I’m finally getting back to shooting a bit more and had an afternoon scheduled with an art model yesterday. I wanted desperately to give my stock of New 55 Film another chance after I’d disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my film holder. The results I got were much better and far more promising than my earlier experiments,Continue reading “New 55 Film – Round 2”

But there are some that might be less than perfect (slightly soft focus inContinue reading “Rhus – Ferns, Rossland”

Keira Grant – Pabatco Hodaka

There are a lot of things that I like about this photo. The graceful model, that interesting sign that I knew nothing about when I saw the side of the building, and the light is soft and light. There’s real meaningful contrast between the model and the background. It all comes together to form theContinue reading “Keira Grant – Pabatco Hodaka”

Invisible

Torso Study

I haven’t had a chance to work with the new Fuji camera with my studio lights yet. And given my setup at home, there’s very limited space, so we pushed the dining room table out of the way and set up a single small soft box with a grid. The grid tends to give theContinue reading “Torso Study”
