The Setup and the Shot
I try to make reference snapshots of the general scene when I’m shooting large format. If someone makes snapshots of me actually shooting, I like to see those, too.
Why? For two reasons. They serve as a valuable reserve of information that I can reference later, like the films that sports teams watch to analyze errors and strategy. Secondly, when paired with the final large format image, I find it fascinating to see how a prosaic scene can be filtered and transformed by this medium into something new.
If you have diptychs you can share of a setup (with or without you making the photograph) and the final image, please share them here. I, for one, would love to see.
If there is already a thread like this, maybe someone could point me to it.
