Behind The Lens

Location

Taken in a friend’s studio with North light.

Time

Afternoon.

Lighting

I truly wanted to get the wonderful gradient effect of greys to be subtle and enhancing. I have found that natural north light works best for me to get this effect... The gradient greys become soft.

Equipment

Hasselblad 6x6 camera with 80mm lens. Ilford HP5 B&W Film.

Inspiration

The inspiration initially came from my friend’s painting... and a willing model.

Editing

No post processing... just digitally scanned.

In my camera bag

These days I shoot using a Nikon D750 digitally and Leica CL and CLE rangefinders for analogue using Ilford B&W film.

Feedback

Never underestimate the value of natural North light...! Always use your full frame as a painter uses the entire canvas.
