Spedman posted:It says on Flickr it's an enlargement, what size was the paper neg? Or was it a contact print? It's an enlargement, on a 16x20 inch sheet. The paper neg itself is 8x10. You can make enlargements of paper negatives. The exposure is quite long though, because the paper obviously blocks a lot more light than a transparent cellulose negative. The result is very low contrast, too, so be ready to compensate with high contrast filters.

This is pretty cool, with a minor nitpick that her top is blending in to the machine behind her. Helen Highwater posted:Got asked to do a short notice shoot with a local hobby model friend and her friend from out of town. None of these are lit.

Helen Highwater posted:She does have a wide, flat face though. I shot her with an 80mm eFOV (50mm ƒ/4 macro Takumar on a crop Canon). I don't mind the wide/flat thing going on, but that highlight on her left nose/frame right kills it for me. It doesn't flow with the framing.

hi liter posted:Anyone have good tips or advice on finding models to work with? Model mayhem feels creepy/outdated, and I'm messed around on instagram a bit but don't really have the connections or experience I feel like I need to start approaching people for shoots. I've worked with probably 50 models through MM over the years with a 98% success rate. If you're not creepy about what you're trying to accomplish by networking there it's a good resource.

Spedman posted:Just because the client/model wants these photos, does it make it okay? What are their motivations for having these style of photos taken? Why is there a need/demand to view such photos? Etc, etc If the client and model are happy, then is it really a problem? Something that hasn't been expressed clearly is what's the harm here? A lot of the critiques on these last couple of pages have been toeing the line up to puritanism, and that used to the be the domain of stuffy old conservatives. EDIT: ansel autisms posted:photographs of women gazing lustily into the camera are a dime a dozen and not particularly interesting. That's a critique worth discussing. But the moralizing around this is really tired. McMadCow fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Dec 11, 2019 |

MrBlandAverage posted:I'm surprised to see you so dismissive of this conversation, because I've always thought of you as committed to and effective at making photographs of women that weren't centered on the male gaze. I appreciate that you say that and you're right that I do try very hard to treat my subjects as people and not objects. It's actually very important to me. But in my experience, there are people out there (not many, but more and more) who complain about the male gaze and my work to them is no different than a babe in a thong bent over the hood of a car. Because to them, ANY depiction of a woman by a male is exploitative. I feel like a bit of a canary in the coal mine and I don't trust in the common sense of people to distinguish porn from art so I defend all of it even if I'm not personally into it. Because if I don't, then I'm next.

MrBlandAverage posted:Since you're clearly more intentional about your work and in a different space than the people who have answered this more obliquely, I'd like to ask you directly how you think about it: why are your photos of men always fully clothed and so much fewer in number than those of not-completely-dressed women? The answer is the same for both questions: Women volunteer to sit for me all the time. From regular models to insurance actuaries, I have a pretty steady stream of interest. I've even had a local gallery owner who likes my work send her own daughter my way. I tend to only actually ASK women who are models, and leave my female friends alone unless they volunteer, which they often do. Men on the other hand NEVER volunteer. I've asked many guys from my friend group and periphery, and the answer is usually no or a noncommittal yes which never pans out. I obviously shoot guys, but it's much rarer as you've noted. Literally never once had a man volunteer IRL.

RangerScum posted:So what drives you to make portraits of all of your volunteers? It depends on the project, but it's ultimately a desire to make an interesting and multi-layered photo that implies a story. I don't particularly care to make a moral statement beyond that, because as I said, there are some that see my work on the "good" side of a line, and some who don't.
