That looks great! If you don't mind me asking, where did you do the framing? That's been my dilemma when doing larger prints as I usually do my framing and mat cutting myself, but I don't do it enough to invest in a larger press. I used to always use Seal dry mount and good cotton rag board to frame things but for bigger prints I've sort of been at a loss as to how best to do them.

I frame everything in my studio and this time I purchased 51" press to mount on aluminum. Its always fun when toys are delivered on a truck:)

a couple more.

The press is quite easy to use, I suppose in part due to a very thick release paper on the adhesive, which makes it all easier to handle.

So awesome, Michael.  I've been geeking out lately, myself.  All the darkroom gear is assembled and awaiting the move to the new space.  Then yesterday, ProGear, my local heroes delivered my Foba stand.  OMG... this thing is like heaven.  I'll post some pics tomorrow...

I've been sequestered in my sanctuary for days on end pretending that the commercial work doesn't exist, focusing my attention on the minute minutiae of things botanical...

 

Arca Swiss F Metric 8x10 / Schneider 305mm G-Claron / Fuji Acros / PyrocatMC and a pile of strobe... the overhead softbox was driven by a Profoto D4 4800 at full power.  Boom!

It really is amazing the (lack of) DoF and blur of the larger format, and how smooth the image goes from in focus to out, and something that I never really thought about until working in digital so long. 

Nice work CB.

Chris, so poetic! Such a paradox that such delicacy requires such a heavy artillery:)

Lovely work and great presentation. Any longevity issues mounting to aluminium?

Shaun, since the mounting film I use is archival and also serves as a barrier, aluminum is naturally inert metal and the board is manufactured to retain its flat shape I don't expect any issues with longevity.
Larger size work requires a flat substrate and since I am hesitant to do facemount, mounting on flat aluminum composite board seems ideal.

Hi Michael,
What film are you using that is archival? I'm not familiar with pressure mounting. I've done Seal MT5 and Colormount (both using a heat press) for mounting but from what I can tell from your studio photos you are using some sort of pressure/cold mount technique.

Thanks!

Hi Craig, I am using Coda cold-mount double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive film. According to them the Getty museum evaluated this product in accelerated testing and selected it for its archival properties.

Chris, really love these. For me, 2 & 4 have technically perfect compositions (if that were actually possible) and lighting. Love that you leave some warmth in your whites.

Really lovely project we recently shot in D.C.

Thanks, Owen.  Yeah, close... but commercial work always seems to have me running around making little compromises.  The minor imperfections will haunt me to my grave.

As catharsis, a simple poppy in the studio.  I dig this one because it feels like fabric floating in water...

The bloom is lovely, but the stem detracts. The black background is awfully stark. I think a subtle bit of light, just enough to separate the flower (or a part of the flower)  from the background would be desirable.

If you are interested in minimalist backgrounds, white generally works better with white flowers. I know that that sounds dogmatic. At one time, I sold a fair amount of fine art botanical images. The ones that drew people in had some interplay of light and shadow between foreground and background.

Your technique, as usual, is impeccable. You really captured the poppy, and working with flowers is difficult. Poppies are particularly delicate.

Very classy, even though not as many curves as in most of your photos.
