Behind The Lens
Location
This was an assignment to shoot metal. I was a student at Madison College, Madison, WI.Time
It was a studio, does it matter?Lighting
Straight up light boxes. I was trying to use white reflectors but wasn't getting the look I wanted so I pitched them aside and went straight up light boxes.Equipment
Large format black & white film on a tripod. I wish I still had that large format camera. I miss film, the simplicity and the anxiety waiting to see if I captured what I was trying for.Inspiration
I wanted to cook more and have it be appealing.Editing
Not much besides scanning the film.In my camera bag
Light meter, pencil and paper, extra batteries and today, several SD Cards. Then, I had a whole second bag for film rolls.Feedback
Experiment! Try several scenarios. With today's digital abilities, there's no reason to fear failure in 20 shots.
