I'm very excited and humbled to say that I have been asked to exhibit my bodyscape collection at the Saint-Petersburg Photo Vernissag. This photo exhibit, will be hung in September 2010 in St. Petersburg Russia at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege".
For the selection of my images to show I am going to depend heavily upon the process of social selection. I have set up a voting gallery at my website along with a comments section to share any specific thoughts you had (your comments here would be very welcome as well).
I would be extremely grateful if you would follow this link (http://www.doug-peterson.com/bodyscape-social-selection-for-manege-gallery-russia/) and cast a vote. Note that the link contains images of the natural female form. The imagery is not meant to be erotic, but is "not safe for work" (NSFW).

Some technical details. These were shot with a variety of backs/bodies/lenses including:
P65+, P45+, P40+, P30+
Phase One AF, Phase One DF, Hasselblad H2
HC120mm Macro, HC100mm (rarely), HC80mm, HC50mm, HC35mm (rarely)
Phase One 120mm D Macro, Phase One 150mm D, Phase One 80mm D, Mamiya 45mm
A HUGE thank you goes to my generous employer Capture Integration which encourages me to use our rental digital backs and camera bodies for my own shooting as part of our companies' philosophy of hands on experience and testing.
Every shot was done tethered into Capture One and a Style was set so that the images came into Capture One with the look you see in the final product. This included a black and white profile drawing mostly off of the red channel (which reduced blemishes and blotches which are often less apparent in the red than in the green/blue data), an increase in contrast, a S curve with a aggressive floor to provide a pure-black, a slight increase in clarity, and a slight vignette. I must say shooting tethered for this type of work was incredibly helpful for three major reasons:
1) it's hard to fully visualize how the scene will appear as a contrasty b+w
2) seeing the image 30" wide at high resolution a few seconds after the shot allowed me to see how the focus and fall-off of focus would appear in the final (large) print much more than simply seeing the ground glass through the viewfinder
3) as you change angles to the light the exposure changes (since part of the light is now reflecting off of the subject and not just illuminating it) and the highlight warning tool gave me a highly accurate, easy, and fast way of seeing whether my exposure was accurate.

This is a great place to exhibit.

Hey Doug
Congratulations on the show.
It makes a huge difference when guys supporting photographers are photographers themselves.
Some technical details. These were shot with a variety of backs/bodies/lenses including:
SNIP
HC120mm Macro
Re your quote above there is a review of that Hasselblad lens on some site (Capsure Intergration or something) that says that Hasselblad lens is really bad, so I just wanted to give you a heads up as I would hate for you to ruin your work by using inferior gear
Regards

This may sound corny, but spending so much time on here and getdpi I think of many of you as friends. Even the ones I haven't met. And yes, even you Nick, though we often disagree.
Ya'lls support means more to me than I can say.
As of last night I had over 1000 votes in 24 hours to help me make my selections. I can't thank you all enough.
