Peter, just as I thought I'd got over it, put it firmly to sleep, you ignite again my lust for lost/betrayed Hasellblad 500 cameras!

When that lottery comes home, stops being just a couple of coffees, I shall get my hands on an unused collector's set, find a top scanner, and never look back again.

Next, I shall probaby have to buy a film company. And then a chemical company.

If we pool our resources we might just have enough to go broke...  : )

But Peter, can we afford the lawyers to do that? I think I told my legal eagle granddaughter never to do freebies - so I guess I spoke too soon (to her).

I'm sure you have a huge warm spot in her heart. I'm counting on it.

Grab of one of the artists at the recent gallery reopening.

Shame it was a 50mm; should have been at least 105mm! But...

Her pix are really interesting - light, ethereal and a bit like she seems to be: slightly and beautifully somewhere else... Still hope one day to shoot her properly without so many lights and people!

Great shot Rob. having just spent the final day of a conference in Lyon snatching photos of colleagues in and around the auditorium with its horrible lighting, I wonder if bad lighting can sometimes help. A bit like the mantra that if you can't shoot without converging verticals, just go all out and tilt the camera to make it clear you didn't want to get a nice level horizon and vertical verticals. For me, "standard" 3-flash portrait lighting makes about the least interesting portrait possible, even if it makes the sitter happy...

Graham,

Your 'sitters' seem to be quite happy at being photographed - which makes a difference, too. (I particularly like the quizzical look on the woman on the left in the top shot.)

Three lights: I dislike too many lights with people images - outdoors I sometimes used reflectors, but almost never flash - didn't marry very well with Nikon's top bodies and only the FM/FM2 variety went up to a 1/250 synch. if memory serves. I think my F and F2 were maxed out at a sixtieth! On indoor locations it was usually a brolly on the subject and another flash on the background if I thought it helped in contrasting person with b/ground. But mostly this was black/white photography. In studio shots it was brolly on subject, perhaps a direct flash behind the subject to rimlight, and another flash onto the background roll to kill off the person's shadow. But usually two was the most, and often just the brolly on the person and forget the white roll - let it go grey.

All depended on what they were wearing, really, and contrasting it with the background. How wonderful Photoshop would have been!

Rob

This is Ghislaine... she considers herself the "opposite of photogenic" ! So a bit more work was required to get a shot where she didn't look intimidated by the camera.
We shared the same psychopath boss for many years, and in fact she is still under him... despite being far better than him at everything except sleazing and BS.
That's probably why her hair is prematurely grey...

By the way, a couple of years back she worked out from the pattern of mutations in tumours that people in Romania were somehow ingesting aristolochic acid, and that it was killing them via kidney cancer. It seems that a plant containing the substance is used as a "natural remedy" in the region. So she may just be responsible for saving a lot of people from nasty deaths in the future.

So after a week I get back my SD card that I handed over so someone could copy off the videos I shot. There were a few still on there too: this was a present surprise :)

Is this a bondage music I see before me?

Possibly... Madame has other projects I do not photograph, I have no Araki ambitions (although he did some wonderful stuff without rope).

But on tiptoe to catch a better view; no double-selfies. We would not be amused.

Graeme,

"The Stables at Boscobel House, Shropshire, UK."

Hey, this site only has a family viewing certificate; stay cool with the S&M motifs!

Thinking about which, great minds must be thinking kind of alike or, as some claim, not at all:
