Self Portraits

[Laurent L]

Thanks ! I just hope that our Russian friends won't be offended by this silly photo full of stereotypes ! Having Russian and Ukrainian family is pushing me to toy with my eastern roots.

Hans made a great view camera, it must be nice to use it to shoot portraits, on top of that I love Tele Artons lenses that give a soft image great for portraits.

Hi Laurent I'm not in La Chaux de Fonds I live near Lucerne Central Swiss. The Artons are only fully open tiny bit soft up to f8 at f11 and f16 I could not see a difference between the Arton and a APO Ronar 300mm.

Like your portrait to!

No this is a Hans Fröhlich Camera from La Chaux-de-Fonds a City in the Jura Swiss part! Hans was a portrait photographer in this City. It has two Tele Arton 270mm which is very nice and I think he build it by himself.
I got it from a magazin photographer from Zürich.

Thx Armin, very grateful

regards

Andrew

Hah, I had mine grown while we were closed for the covid. Now that I'm back to work I had to shave.

That's some wisdom tooth!

I bought myself a 5 string bass guitar, found a bass teacher and working hard to teach myself how to master this instrument. Then I wanted to make a self portrait to celebrate this new whim. Sorry I couldn't afford a Fender... Yeps...Getting old, and my Apo Artar at F16 doesn't spare me much !

Sinar P 5x7", Apo Artar 16" 1/2 (420mm) at F16, HP5 5×7", Ilfotec HC 1+47 scan V700. I used my air soft release which has a 5 meter long "hose".

Excellent, introspection too

Eyes closed is also one my recent endeavors
