4x5 portraits

I've been sitting in on a large format photography (4x5) workshop these last few weeks.  Beer, pizza, comrades, cool cameras and last week a very nice portrait session with Natasha.  Here are my 2 shots from the night.  Both are happy accidents, but with a little split toning in post these two Polaroids are, in my mind, quite intriguing and worth repeating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and to work on my metering, and because I had some 8 year old Polaroid quick load film sitting around, I did a couple self portraits after class.

From the second image, I'm happy to learn my meter is working very close to spot on.  The second image was also shot with a DIY haze filter to soften some of my hard edges.

nice work, Mark! These portraits invite me to spend time with them and give me the sense that I can peer into the soul of the subject.
