I had a lot of fun (except for balky flash triggers!) yesterday in a photo shoot with Kira Hall, a talented Toronto actress. She did an amazing job with hair, make-up and wardrobe, and as an actress, she was able to provide great expressions!
Another Instant Hybrid
Today’s image is another example of starting with the negative from a Fuji FP3000B instant print, with some post work and toning. The model Luna is a graphic arts student. I love working with artists, actors, musicians etc. They get it! 🙂
Stand Back, the Doors are Closing Part II
Today I have taken a number of my recent TTC images, and combined them with music to form a new video, Stand Back the Doors Are Closing, Part II
Dream
Another product of the bybrid workflow today: this image was captured last weekend with a Nikon F2 body, 24mm f2.8 lens, on Fomapan 100 developed in TMax developer. I then scanned the negative, and added some glow using Nik software in post. The look I was going for was being in a dream.
Railroad Tracks
Another view of railroad tracks at the base of Pottery Road in Toronto, this time with a wider angle lens, and me crouching closer to the tracks.
Intense Character
Another intense character on the TTC!
Hybrid Approach
Here is one more image from Michigan: I found I had three more instant film negatives to scan, and I decided to do some extensive post-processing on this one, adding some glow and toning. I love being able to mix the best of old and new photographic technologies together!
Dog-Tired
It’s been a chilly weekend (by Toronto standards) by that hasn’t gotten in the way of doing some street photography. I saw this man carry a fair sized dog, and managed to pop off a quick image.
(Nikon F2, 50mm f.14 lens, Tri-X at box speed developed in Xtol 1:1 , 9 minutes)
Character
Another of the kind of face I find fascinating! He had power and presence, but also a sense of world-weariness.
Post-Valentine’s Day
Taken on February 15th, 2013. Valentine’s Day never ended for this couple :-).
