Location
The portrait of 'woman with curly hair' was captured in a make-shift studio. I erected a seamless backdrop from an old large piece of paper I found in a refuse bin...Time
The image was captured during the daylight hours and I used a set of strobe flashlights. The key light had a soft box diffuser attached.Lighting
I didn't have a flash meter available so the exposure was a bit of guess work combined with bracketing.Equipment
The image was capture on film (transparency) on a Hasselblad camera using a 150mm lense.Inspiration
A friend, who is a hairstylist, wanted to experiment with a new curly iron he bought for his salon and this is the result... the curling iron worked a treat.Editing
No. No post-production at all. No photoshop. Only drum scanning of the image to convert it from film to a digital image. This is probably the only image I have in my folio on Viewbug that is 'raw', 'natural', 'original'. So, great images can be created without photoshop or any other post production intervention.In my camera bag
I normally use Nikon gear and seem to use my D810 with Nikkor lenses most of the time. But in the past I have used a variety of formats including 5 x4 and 10x8. But, surely, it is not the camera or format to capture a good image... It is the photographer's intent.Feedback
Don't stop experimenting and take lots and lots of photographs as often as you can. And spend time read, reviewing and appreciating the old masters of the fine art of photography.
