How about a New Portrait thread?

[BradS]

You know, Brad...it was your portraits and other LF shots on Flickr that got me started in LF in the first place.

Great shot of Grandma...

(sheepish) Thanks Paul.

domenico,

Is that portrait part of the women portrait project you mentioned to me a few months ago?

Very nice. It does not look like natural light. But I don't know you use studio.

Hugo, no it's not and...it's not.
It is natural light, reflected by a huge white wall right on her .
It is one of the most difficult print I have done, I am not looking forward to print it again, and my neighbours as well,...

That sounds like you expected less of him ;-)

It is incredible but I'm not surprised.

Hugo, it`s was the sweet Chamonix 4x5, 150mm Symmar-S wide open. An Alien Bee 1600 with a grid. I just placed the light to the right, and guesstimated the focus.
I was originally playing with dof and "soft focus", and by accident some parts of my face ended up in focus The rest is that fantastic Polaroid 55, I wish I could afford using it more...

I have an aero ektar too :-)

I really like that first one Harry. The light, subject, and depth of field all come together nicely.
