Adam
Saturday, December 18, 2010 at 11:46PM My friend Adam was willing to sit for me last week before he headed off to San Francisco and then to Eqypt. I've photographed him before, but not in a formal setting. These are shot with my 6x7 Mamiya - a very satisfying camera to work with when doing portraiture. I have some B+W shot with the 4x5 that are out for processing - After Christmas they told me, lots of film being shot these days, and I don't mind waiting for it. But it would be nice if it came sooner.
There is a bit of PS in post, but only to clean up a few spots on the film and to do a bit of work on the color and levels. The lighting (background fall off, contrast, etc.) was the product of my strobes and a bit of soft filter (photos one and 3) over the lens.
I am going to have to talk a bit about my color correction / selection at some point. Maybe when I figure it out for myself. For now I'm enjoying the shifts in some of these images, maybe the product of my use of the scanner and my attraction to Matisse's paintings. It seems to me the filter and the color have the effect of unifying the subject and the background, and allowing the background to become a three dimensional player - a space that the subject exists in.
