Portraits of Nature

I'd like to bring to your attention a little video about photographer Urs Bernhard titled Portraits of Nature (http://youtu.be/PrWWRLXPexI) - sharing his thoughts about photography...

Enjoy.

Hmmm… he certainly seems competent enough. The title didn't fulfill my expectations. Seems as though for some reason he was shooting 5x7 with an 8x10. I did visit his site in order to attempt to discover something else that I may have missed.

His method of developing film is interesting---manually processed in a rotary day light tank, then the stop? And fix under a safe light??

Great b&w images. When I see images like these, I always regret that I've abandoned b&w photography...

I think he does the same thing that I've done. Develop, Stop, Fix and Wash in the processing drum . . . and then toss the film in a tray with Photo-Flo. I like how the video was put together, even though I didn't find the subject matter very interesting. If I were to make a video of my operation, I suspect the results would look very similar. Though at some point during the filming I'd probably step in a hole and break my ankle.

I enjoy videos like this. The simplicity and focus on the process is very interesting. I wish somebody would make something like this of my work, lol.

I also enjoy this video. As you people knows that portrait photography is not only about the location and subject. It takes a truly skilled photographer to get the actual thoughts and fascination behind the topic while focusing their own identity.

The most important thing I observed, use of light. No doubt photography is about light. So, by far the most complementary lighting for most portraits is delicate as well as off-camera (http://bradkay.com.au/). And in this video, show off use of light very well in portraits.
