Yes, it is, well spotted. Occasion of the Queen’s visit, I forget exactly which year [Edit: it was 2012]. She was very small, and it amuses me that there was no chance of spotting her in that crowd, or even sense where she was unless you could spot one of her very tall equerries. Anyway, what I really liked was that the scene was hardly different to the fairs that would have happened here in late medieval times.
Why the pull? The contrast is not excessive.
It would have been without the pull - the home-made fixed grade emulsion is equivalent to about grade 3.5. So I needed a flat negative. And I still lost detail in the hair.
Gorgeous. Print and model.
Thanks. I'm almost certain the Iines are from a crappy scan. This was an old reject print that I just kept. I know it's a reject because of the awkward burn above and around her head. It was scanned many years ago with an office HP scanner. The darks are kinda milky looking too. Sorry about the poor quality, but I just didn't keep many of my prints and I haven't printed anything since the 70's.
Don’t apologise, I’m just interested. I can see through the scan. I have to do that a lot, from the dark contrasty printing that Salgado insisted on, to misty Steichen pictorialism.
That's utterly gorgeous.
Thank you! My college girlfriend's best friend asked me to take some headshots a few years after we graduated because she was thinking about pursuing a modeling/acting career, but I had pretty much given up photography at that time and had sold most of my gear. Plus I didn't have access to a studio anymore. So, we went to my parents' house, threw a sheet against the wall in the dining room as a backdrop and used the only reflective umbrella I had left as key light.
Oh she’s Angie Bolling! I thought she was familiar. She looked after herself 00:15 on:
Gorgeous, and I love the way she hasn’t messed with her face. She looks as amazing now as she did then.
