Renee Zellweger and I were just playing around in the studio and I decided to do a portrait with one big light only. I used a 4 foot by six foot softbox driven by a Norman 2000 flash system. Back then I put extra layers of diffusion on the front of the soft boxes because I liked to soup my film a bit contrasty and I needed to tone down the light.
This image was done with a Pentax 645 and Agfapan APX 100. Lost to the ravages of time is my memory of exactly what printing paper I printed this one but it's a good bet that it was Ilford Multigrade fiber, toned in selenium.
Night all. I have to get some sleep so I can spend the day tomorrow the same way I did back in 1993. Making portraits.
Loving the one-light portraits.
ReplyDeleteThere is a subject waiting. Don't delay a single day to create another timeless portrait.
