Bought a simple used studio flash. Thought a good test be to try to make a "decent regular portrait" of my neighbor.

Hey Nicolas, Liking your shot!
I was thinking this morning about shooting something very similar for myself... Basically, I am preparing the Cambo Maxiportrait with a RangeFinder & was thinking to basically do a series of portraits in identical setting for all the portraits in Photographic Typology style (similar to my Close Ones - Up Close) but with random people. Will basically try to set things up in such way that it all works with Canon Strobes so I can go around China where I live now & portrait people in front of simple white paper background.

Kerik,
This is a wonderful portrait - a very strong image which presents her with a tremendous amount of dignity - excellent!

D-tach,
What a beautiful image of a beautiful child! I really love portraits of children - we see tons of snapshots but few true portraits like this. I think it is always important to capture these more contemplative moments in their lives, as they don't spend every waking moment smiling. Very beautiful -
Mark

Thanks Peter!

Thanks Mark - My sister is always disappointed that I take mostly 'non smiling' portraits of her kids :-) she prefers crappy, out of focus, phone pictures :-) I think a smile hides the real person

Thanks Sergei - Hope all goes well

[koraks]

Sergei, that is a very deeply provoking image indeed. I haven't seen anything near this emotionally powerful on this forum, and not that often outside it either. I admire the way you've been going through this process both on a personal level and as a photographer. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you. I am not showing yet all the portraits i made there (and around there) as part of project, still figuring out details for the presentation.
I have met amazing people (and more on the queue) that went through HSCT and other stuff. Proud that they allowed me to take their portraits.

Lana is easier for me, being wife and my model. I am yet to start shooting her with film, because it takes longer than digital and she is fatiguing really easily right now.

[alanbutler57]

Sergei,
The word that keeps spinning in my head as I look at your new portrait of your lovely wife is, "iconic". We are all united in our wishes for her rapid and complete recovery.

I love your portraits. What is your technique to get the skin smooth. Is it just make up, or lens or is it post-processed? Hope you don't mind my asking.

Thank you. its a long discussion, but basically its light (use of fill , never have harsh side lights to accentuate pores) + lens (some are hazy, some are actually soft, some i just got to play with apperture) + fact that X-ray is way softer than your typical film (annoys some people, but it works fine for what i use it for). Then if i see something i absolutely must dodge/burn or throw texture screen at - i will do it.

Yes Brian it did dry a bit darker. My flash went off when I took this that another reason it looks lighter than it actually is

Wow. I'm always in awe of photographers possessing that courage to veer away from more classical portrait composition. Expecially with the amount of prepping an LF shot, i always tend to approach it in a 'safe' traditional way for fear of wasted shots. This definitely will inspire me to be more playfull with my sitters next time!

[seven]

Great use of the Eidoscope, Stephane ! Makes me want to keep mine (had thoughts about selling it).
What developer did you use with Retropan ?

[Stephane]

Foma R09, equivalent to rodinal, because it is a compensating developer.
But Adriano's portrait is with fomapan 100 (rated iso 20), and developed for 16 min in 16 ml R09 at 16 degC. This sweet 16 rule is great and very easy to remember :)

Damn that is good. What kind of light did you have here? Afternoon light through some trees? Really lovely.

[Jim Jones]

AlesGard -- The Model by the often maligned William Mortensen, first published in 1937, is still valuable. The first and the nearly identical second editions are the best. The later and somewhat abbreviated How To Pose The Model of 1956 by Mortensen and George Dunham (still published as a reprint) is less dynamic. These are not merely guides to a variety of poses, but also analyze many faults to avoid.

I actually think the first one is much more interesting. The less "posed" the better IMHO
So, nice work :)

Damn that is good. What kind of light did you have here? Afternoon light through some trees? Really lovely.

You're doing some very fine work yourself, Alex! That was two-thirty-in-the-afternoon sunlight through the trees. I'd rather have had light overcast, but one takes what one gets...

AlesGard -- The Model by the often maligned William Mortensen, first published in 1937, is still valuable. The first and the nearly identical second editions are the best. The later and somewhat abbreviated How To Pose The Model of 1956 by Mortensen and George Dunham (still published as a reprint) is less dynamic. These are not merely guides to a variety of poses, but also analyze many faults to avoid.

Thankyou for the suggestions, Jim. I'll check them out.

I shared this in the Harman Direct Positive thread, but it also is a November Portrait:
