Burke and James 8x10 camera, B&L petzval lens, 1/2 plate clear glass ambrotype.

I like that a lot. It's nice to see a traditional process with a more modern composition like shortsiding your subject.

I had a senior portrait session with Abby on the right. I asked if I could take a 4x5 of her and her sister Amy.

T-Max 400

(I tried a dozen times to lighten this image...it darkens everytime I upload it)

Violin player by Sergei Rodionov, on Flickr

Sergei, that's one fantastic model you got. Were you doing a long exposure and tripping the flashes by hand? Her face seems to have some motion blur going on. Same thing seems to happen with the color take.
If I may, I would have placed the violin somewhere else. It blends with her dress in a weird way. Also the hand bag and violin case? in the back are very distracting.

Very nice series either way!

Thanks. It was hand tripping, with packard shutter.. Normally i can do it very easy, but i seem to have timing issues with packards.. need more practice It was more of test session - we worked first time together.. It meant for her to be a bit blurry and moving on colour one.. this one - not so much, but you right - still visible that she moved a bit. Oh well

I know, right? New-to-me B&J Ajax #2 Portrait on 10x12 Ilford (this is a crop, but the lens covers the format fine for portraits!).
