Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the student studio at the Savannah College of Art and Design.Time
Since this was shot using artificial light in the studio, time of day did not factor into this photograph.Lighting
I wanted to create an even light while maintaining a separation from the black background. To achieve this, I used two medium Chimera soft-boxes placed symmetrically on either side of the model, while using a reflective Profoto umbrella as a rim light on the hair.Equipment
I used a Dearforff V8 8x10 view camera with a Schneider 300mm f4.5 lens. My tripod was my trusty Slik Pro 700 DX. I used a Profoto Acute 2 power pack with 3 Profoto ProHead Plus flash heads. The film I used was Ilford Delta 100 Professional since it is, in my opinion, the sharpest iso100 film available.Inspiration
I was inspired by the idea of permanence and impermanence of the often instantaneous nature of our personalities. I wanted to capture the essence of change in who we are as 1/25,000th of a second.Editing
Once I digitized the negative I simply removed any dust spots in photoshop and tweaked the curves to mimic my darkroom printing.In my camera bag
In the studio, I typically shoot with either my Mamiya RB67 or Hasselblad 501 C/M. When I’m shooting the Mamiya, I like to stick with the 180mm lens for most purposes b cause of it’s beautiful focus falloff. I usually use either the 80mm or 150mm Zeiss lens when I’m shooting Hasselblad. In my bag, I also have my trusty cable release, a Slik Pro 700 DX tripod, and Sekonix 758 DR DigitalMaster light meter.Feedback
If you’re trying to freeze moving water, you’ll want to either shoot at 1/500th of a second or faster, or use a high speed flash sync. Since I was using a leaf shutter, I was able to sync with my flash unit at 1/500th of a second.
