this is an exploration of a fashion shoot. i was given the opportunity to assist a good friend on his photo shoot and really got to study the artform of this style.. i've never really shot fashion.. but learned a great deal. i wanted to cover the event, if you will.. this is a documentation of a fashion shoot.

i was given the opportunity to work with medium format as well.. so the whole day was really one big learning experience.

a documentation which is probably more witty and interesting than the fashion photos themselves.....

Brilliant!!!! Better without text
I understand your point of view as a journalist. Actually you made me acces the Pulitzer Photography web site and there isn't a single one without an explanation. Im more poet than journalist, and sometimes silences (or music) are my explanations. I still believe in that typical sentence that an image is worth than 1000 words. And still take it literally. Even though sometimes i share an extra explanation with you all

I'll follow your trace!

I really like the contrast, the dark backgound and the white of the model's clothing . . . Great shot!

londn In reply to avotius [2006-03-05 18:31:11 +0000 UTC]

ilford xp2.. it was weird.. some of the roll turned out contasty as hell.. the others turned out great. i shot this @ 3.5... michelle sessions 2 was @ f8. shrug.

its all about meetering for the right spot.. not the shadows.. not the hi's..

but it also depends on lighting and even more, the source of that light.

glad you liked it.. i'm thinking of expanding on these photos.

hm....I have used xp2 400 in my canon 35mm camera recently, before been using hp5 400 and delta 100 pushed to 400 or 400. It seems that xp2 like a little overexposure, somewhere around iso 320 seems to work really well ive found. If I had the choice I probably wouldnt use it, for some weird reason I really like the results of delta 100 pushed to 400 with an extra 2 minutes in the developer passed the regular stated time doing 400 with ilford lc29 (such a forgiving developer for us ham fisted blokes)

londn In reply to smalasussie [2006-03-01 03:38:39 +0000 UTC]

no.. he would have failed me.

he's turning out to kinda sucks.. doesnt like pushing boundaries..

this nudges the whole "fashion photography" thing a bit.

i shot some really nicely lit product shots on this model though.. i wanted to get your opinion on them the other night.

smalasussie In reply to londn [2006-03-01 04:37:30 +0000 UTC]

I know! Why didn't you send them? I was connected & waiting.

That's too bad that Lippincott's not meeting your expectations... just keep doing your thing, you've only got another half semester with him. These look really great, regardless.

I already had "what-the-heck-this-is-not something-I-would-expect-you-to- do" coming out my keyboard, but then read your comments. heheh. Not a fashion shoot after all. I love the the way the camera is in front the model's head. A comment about fashion perhaps, or just quirkyness..hmm. Maybe both. Great shot, no matter what. Sweet grain and DoF.
