unauthorized use taken very seriously
so don’t do it.
Solarization
sometimes, even when i’m really careful, i make mistakes developing my film. this one wasn’t terrible, but i think the exposure was off just a little bit. so, when i scanned the negative, i wasn’t entirely happy with the contrast on the negative. and as i was playing with curves and such in photoshop, i kinda stumbled on this slightly solarized look and i just liked it, so i’m going to go with it like this.
love it? hate it? leave a comment!

Hereafter
i opened up my last box of Polariod Chocolate film and tried out some double exposures with Erica while she was here. for whatever reason, the emulsion on this one didn’t hold up too well, half of it was left on the backing paper. but sometimes accidents like this make me really happy.

Untitled Nude (3:13)
Incident Projection
first art nude shoot of 2013. shot 18 frames of Ilford FP4 4×5 at a slow, studied pace. i’m feeling like the results speak for themselves.

Nude and Chair – Polaroid
working in the studio near the end of our stay there, i’d found an old Polaroid 250 camera on eBay that i bought for $17 and started trying to use it with studio lights. the results were usually unpredictable, but often interesting. if i remember correctly, this was old, expired polaroid sepia film and i loved the response it had to the studio light and the tones of the final prints.
this scan of the original polaroid print is included in a section of polaroids in the book Jordan Street: Studio Nudes, 2008-2011 available now in the iBookstore.

Keira – Talc
Going back to September 2009, this was one of the first times I did a properly rigged overhead shoot. I’d clamped my monstrous Mamiya RZ67 to an overhead support, shooting straight down on the model. When I told Keira that i was going to cover her in talc, she looked at me with a worried expression and said, “what’s that?!?” When I told her it was simply baby powder she smiled and said, “Oh, okay!” We both ended the shoot smelling fresh like a baby’s bottom!
Another shot from the book Jordan Street and available as a signed and numbered fine art print.
