On LF portraiture

[Jeremy Moore]

I've been doing some LF portraiture and it is very fun and always a challenge (for the photographer and the sitter). My next obstacle will be learning wet plate for a project I want to do :-)

I feel more like a movie director than a photographer when shooting a LF portrait. My camera is usually pre-set so I can completely concentrate on the subject, then I just stand next my view camera and give direction while talking to them.

That's the best aspect of LF portraiture!

Would you like to submit some of your lf portraits to us for review? They are very good and interesting.

I have been making portraits and nudes on large format for years and find it a wonderful way of working. Here are a couple of mine.

Hi,

I'm new. I'm just getting back into shooting 4x5 so I decided to join this wonderful forum. Anyway, here's on from me. Portrait was shot with a 75mm. Inspired by Platon.

Frank...
And although it's only a med format shot, I couldn't resist adding this one of my daughter:

I'm still in the process of reading replies but that is absolutelywonderful! Only a medium format shot

Portraits don't always have to be taken close-up. Nor must they be made indoors.

Here is one taken with a 5x7 camera and 300mm Fujinon A.

Here are three with Heliar 36cm lens.

Seeing the variety in your portraits has given me a lot more confidence than when I posted the first post. I think I'm going to shoot some, perhaps post some scans, think about it, and then shoot more :-D

Do a search for Jim Galli's portraits... they're really great!

Cheers
