Victoria’s Summer
Another from the archives. Taken back in the summer of 2003 on a Contax G2 loaded with Ektachrome 200 which was eventually push processed 2.5 stops and with my home made filter.
From the Archives
Been having a look through our archives and came across this 10×8 transparency taken back in 1987. This is a straight scan from the Epson V750. Faye’s hairstyling and set design wonderful as always and a fantastic location. Daylight and Ektachrome with a Gandolfi and 12″ Dagor.
NEW MODEL
This afternoon Faye and I were working with a potential new model. Faye obviously did her usual wizz on the styling front, hair etc. and I asked for lots of jewellery and Faye duly obliged. The majority of the images were taken on the 10×8 with FP4 film stock and several are in the wash right now and looking good. Faye shot some images on her D300 and I finished with a couple on the D700. All window light in the studio with reflector camera left. Exposure on the 10×8 was wide open @ f9 for 1/2 a second. The first is my processed image followed by Faye’s and I hope to be able to scan the 10×8 film over the weekend and post early next week. Sooner if the weather is bad!
VOLUNTEERS @ LOXLEY!
Those of you reading this post and who were @ Loxley’s on Monday will recall that later in the day, and to prove a point that you can produce a good portrait in an unassuming location on a very dull day, I press ganged 2 very surprised member of the audience to appear in front of my camera as the subjects. Both ladies, and please forgive me but I have forgotten your names, were reluctant as this was a complete surprise, not only to appear as models but in front of the other 38 delegates was quite a daunting prospect but both girls were wonderful and followed my guidance faultlessly. I only made about 6 exposures of each and these are my 2 selected images. I do hope the volunteers like the result? As with the previous images what little natural daylight we had on the day and Faye is holding a small reflector to camera left.
