Jean on 4x5

Jean is a model we brought in for some body painting. But I knocked off a couple of 4x5s before the day was done.

More 4x5

I'm beginning to think I can market these b/w art portraits. I like the idea that they are relatively simple to produce, yet the results are often unpredictable.

This one of Kandy Face is mis-focused, but I like the rawness of it. It's not so polished as the sharp, bright one of Bindy in the previous post.

We're on a roll

Been super busy this week with studio shoots. Mike and I shot a lot of digital stuff, but I also cranked out some 4x5 and a roll of 120 that I've yet to process.

Here are a few 4x5 images. To the purists I apologize for going to some Photoshop compositing on the edges of the frame. Like I said before, my scanner won't yet let me see the edges of the neg. And these images especially were calling for me to enhance them.

My favorite out of these is Bindy. The other two of Stephanie are OK. They just don't have the impact of Bindi's image. I think that's due to the makeup artist's work and intimacy of that composition.

Finally!

OK. It took a while, but this is a 4x5 from a shoot we did in my garage. We built a "Candyland" theme set and shot two models wearing some tu tu's from a local business called Chrissy Poofs. Yeah, kind of weird.

But this is a 4x5 image of Sabina, one of our models while she was not on set. I added the black borders because I can't yet get my scanner to see the edges of the film like I want. But rest assured this is an otherwise full-frame image.
