I used to rifle through my mum and grandmother's photo albums, of which there are many since both of them were fiends with their 35mm point-and-shoots. The pictures in that video was like a journey through my childhood. And what he says about uniformity in composition and distance etc. is spot on. I picked those same habits up, hard habits to break.

I was listening to a back episode of a comedy podcast while doing some cleaning, and one of the things they were ridiculing was the inanity of the posters on the apparently-thriving message board of JeffBridges.com, which is as you might suspect, the personal website of actor Jeff Bridges. I mosied over to see if said message board was still up (it is), and also checked out his photos section, which is pretty drat cool. Mostly shot with a Widelux, provides some interesting and intimate looks at life on set. JeffBridges.com Photography Kinda off topic, but I'll take pretty much every opportunity I can to introduce people to said comedy podcast. These aren't from the episode I was listening to, but are a good introduction: Craigslist Dad Hey Dad You Killed Mom Again Pedophile House Party

I've been really getting into wetplate recently, and I came across this guy Ian Ruthers who makes HUGE tintypes using his truck as the camera. Check out this video: https://vimeo.com/39578584  He's from LA and is going around the west coast in his truck shooting these great images, he's a couple of my favourites:   http://ianruhter.tumblr.com

Advan Matthew (who's younger than me, ugh)  Christian Ferretti   Helmut Newton     William Vanderpere does mostly portraits, often of celebrities (a practice I hate), but I like his stuff

Dynastocles posted:Helmut Newton If you like Helmut, come visit me at work! I'm not a huge fan of his work and think his actual fashion portraits are better than the nudes he was known for, but I have to say that his prints look pretty great in person. The Rue Abroit series (the first one you posted) and Elsa Peretti's Bunny Girl are fantastic. He loved giant pieces so some of them, like his Big Nudes, are 6-feet tall. He seemed like a pretty funny dude, too, based off the documentaries we've got playing right now. Axel Serenity fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Aug 20, 2013 |

David Pratt posted:So I should be able to get a similar effect by using a yellow/orange/red filter while taking digital b&w photos? You'd want a blue filter, but yes. In Photoshop you can achieve similar effects by using mostly the blue channel to do a b&w conversion with the channel mixer. Like so, but more blue channel: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/black-and-white/channel-mixer/

If you dig around a bit, you can find spectral sensitivity charts for pretty much any film out there, which would be an aid for "faithful" reproduction in post. But to completely geek out about it, I guess you'd have to take into account the sensitivity of your sensor as well. I'm sure it's possible to merge the two curves but I would have no idea how to do it.

They were probably shot on a large format camera with dry plates, which also helps with bringing out the rich details in their features. Rollei still make an Ortho film, it's quite slow at ISO25, but that's fairly typical.

That's really cool. Telephoto compression brings out some really neat geometric patterns. Reminds me of http://9-eyes.com/ in the sense it brings up interesting attribution and artistic process questions. Would the creator of the series have as much importance as the person that took the photos? Is self-censorship as much a part of the artistic process as actually taking the photos?

I think it falls into the "remix" category. That is, it's a unique expression but it couldn't exist without someone else doing prior work. The guy who recorded the amen break was an artist in his own right but he had absolutely no role in the electronic music revolution.

It's the same with the artists who make collections of Google Street View images. The pictures are already there, sure, but it takes a lot of time and effort to trawl through them to find the good stuff.

No, but good practical effects are way more impressive than good digital effects. I'm always a little disappointed when I find out a photo is more of a digital painting than a representation of what someone was actually able to capture with their camera.

So you only shoot film right? You don't rely on things like "digital cameras" or "lightroom" or "photoshop" at all, right? Right?

Mr. Despair posted:So you only shoot film right? You don't rely on things like "digital cameras" or "lightroom" or "photoshop" at all, right? Yes, because tweaking contrast and exposure in a photo and literally adding objects and backgrounds that were not there when you shot it are basically the same thing. It's like saying putting make-up on an actor is the same as mo-capping him into an 8 foot CGI monster. I'm not saying it is bad or wrong, just that I personally find it less impressive and compelling than a photo that has only been minorly altered. Those curtain photos would be really cool if they had been shot that way. Knowing they are composites significantly dulls their appeal to me. You are entirely free to disagree with my opinion but you don't have to be obtuse and act like you either have to be entirely anti digital alteration or you must accept it all equally and nothing else makes sense.
