She does very little post processing, and uses a combo of film and digital.
I love the compositions. She really brings inanimate objects to life.
From her website:
The first panoramic camera that I took with me to Antarctica was a Fuji TX-1 otherwise known as a Hasselblad Xpan, This versatile friendly rangefinder type camera produced lovely negatives, but I was eager to create larger prints and after 2005 decided I needed a larger negative. I used both the 45mm and 90mm lenses for that camera with Kodak Portra 160NC & 400NC Negative film.
The second Panoramic camera I used was in 2006 in East Greenland, I rented a Linhof 617 III which produced amazing negatives but was a solid metal camera and was unfriendly to load and use in cold weather. I almost lost my fingertips to frostbite using this camera. So in 2006 when I returned to Antarctica I purchased a second hand Fuji GX617 with three lenses. They are the 105mm, 180mm and 300mm lenses. This camera is friendly to use in the hostile cold and creates lovely negatives, again I used only Kodak Portra 160NC film.
The Epson RD-1 6.1 MP digital rangefinder body with Leica 28mm Summicron and Leica 35mm Summilux lenses. This stealthy little camera allows me to hand hold up to a half second (I dont drink coffee) with no movement or blur in dark huts and interiors. I do not like flash light and have not used any light other than what is provided by the more than adequate ball of Hydrogen in the sky. The excellent quality of Leica lenses allows me to make nice sized prints from the meager file size.
The Canon 5D 12.8MP digital camera body with the following Canon Eos L Lenses; 24mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4,50mm 1.2, 70-300mm 4. I use prime lenses as fast as I can afford. The canon performs well in cold weather conditions is not too big or heavy and creates superb image files.
My old trusty Rolleiflex 2.8F TLR. This 45 year old camera needs no batteries, is solidly built and creates wonderful square medium format images. I used this camera in 2003 when I first traveled to the Arctic Region of Svalbard.
Leica MP with the following lenses; 28mm Summicron, 35mm Titanium Summilux, 50mm Summilux, 90mm Elmarit. When you want to use a superb tool and create amazing stealthy images or just need to hand hold at slow shutter speeds this is the ticket. My all time favorite camera. A true joy to use.
