Nudes in LF lenses

[rdenney]

I keep looking in my lenses for nudes, and never find them.

And when I try to recruit "naked chicks in misty artsy fartsy poses", they look at me like I'm some sort of creep. Maybe it's the spittle drooling down my hanging tongue. Or perhaps the stern look from my wife.

I just have to stick with pretty rocks and admire the work of Frank, who is all the more admirable for being willing to deliver to us TRVTH.

I shoot almost all my nudes exclusively in LF. Initially it was because I simply prefer shooting LF. Now, I've become a petzval addict and am shooting primarily with petzval lenses, either in 5x7 or 4x5 format. Its a bit of a pain in the ass but I find it to be well worth the effort.

Dave Your's nudes are great I see I could get som nice effect also outdoor wyth my Cambo. NICE

So what You will say about my lighting system is it ok for starting in LF ?? Well It's ok for me in MF.

I personally like the work of this photographer:

He works with both digital and LF.

This guy started out in 4x5 and moved to 8x10 before going over to the digital dark side.

Another photographer who does 8x10 work and occasionally works with nudes is Herb Ascherman.

I've done a limited about of work with nude models with 4x5, and I'm convinced that not only is it possible, it can actually be a very satisfying experience for both the photographer and the model. However, a critical requirement is that you must have lots of time - it's not something that you can do in a hurry.

I think about 20 minutes for picture would be oki for me. I usualy put the equipment all ready before the model arive

Two 600 J strobes are plenty for 4x5, but pushing it a bit for 8x10 depending on what apertures you need.
