[QUOTE=MarcinAnton;989609]If someone's claim that it looks like passport photo, I must admit that we have here in Poland this standard of passport photography. There must be one ear on the shot and breasts with nipples. Best regards!!!
I enjoy your humor as much as your photographs, Marcin.
Just shows we don't need to spend thousands on a Cooke soft focus lens.
Lovely work!
Well I was trying to get an image to pase in my reply but don't seem to have the trick.
Anyway I'm responding to the beautiful soft focus image from a few pages back shot with a magnigying glass.
Very nice.
Stretched Nude
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ilford Ilfobrom IB4.1P photographic paper, image size 24.5cm X 19.5cm, from a 8x10 Kodak Tmax 400 large format negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a Fujinon-W 300mm f5.6 lens.
Titled, signed, and stamped verso.
The stretched pose is exaggerated by the geometric distortion introduced by tilting the back of the camera in order invoke the Scheimpflug condition and place the focus plane through the figure from near to far.
