working with Brooke, i wanted to create some abstract figure studies and we tried to work slowly and deliberately. To me the results are at once anchored in form as well as connected in emotion. These images were shot on film, scanned and split-toned in Photoshop. The prints of these photographs are lush and fullContinue reading “Brooke – Abstractions”

keep looking you will find it like the stars find the night and like the ocean finds the shore and when it blossoms inside your heart you will know it well and you will be home details: models: Brooke Lynne, Stephanie Anne – film: Fomapan 200
salted paper prints
well after about a full day of curve design and some tweaks this morning, i finally got a curve that produces a fairly linear curve for salted paper prints. the salted paper process was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot, known as The Father of Modern Photography, in 1833 while he was on his honeyContinue reading “salted paper prints”
Palladium Prints
a little while ago i ventured back into the darkroom armed with some new ideas for tweaking my palladium printing techniques. i wasn’t happy with the prints that i’d made before. there were issues with clearing the prints and the density of the blacks wasn’t exactly where i wanted it to be. i’d read onContinue reading “Palladium Prints”
my reflected self
the reflection in this shot is not photoshop trickery again. this was a pool of still water that we found out at ringing rocks park. the mirror like surface is just what came through the lens! shot on Ilford Delta 400, pushed to ISO 800. 1/8th of a second at f/5.6 if i recall. scannedContinue reading “my reflected self”
Ringing Rocks
this chaos is killing me just a few frames from what turned out to be the last roll we shot that day. shot on Ilford Delta Pro 400, pushed to ISO 800.
4 rolls later…
and with 2 of them dry, i was able to scan a few frames last night. this was shot out at beltzville again with Keira Grant. i think we were at 1/30th or 1/15th of a second with a mild breeze. so, there’s some motion in the young ferns.
Beltzville, Revisited
for the past two years, i’ve started the summer season of landscape nudes out at a location near Betlzville Lake. i couldn’t resist the temptation to revisit the location since it has treated me so well in the past. it was a wonderfully warm-but-not-hot day in early May and we shot some film down byContinue reading “Beltzville, Revisited”
Sarah Ellis – White
a few more frames from the series we did together. i’ve shot other figures from this overhead perspective with lots of different textures and elements that i thought would add dimension and character to the images. in almost every case this has worked exceedingly well and i’ve been most pleased with the images. however, somethingContinue reading “Sarah Ellis – White”
