      Portrait with Ilford FP4 125

      Sorry @Marc2706 I am not a camera person. Is this film?

        @Marc2706 I keep looking at your last picture and I have questions. Is she a professional model? How much are you involved with posing her,getting her to look a certain way etc? Are you processing and printing the images? I once took a portrait photography workshop with Sue Bryce and she had this you smile with your eyes philosophy,and I think for me,a lot of what makes your photographs so compelling/interesting is your subject’s eyes.

            @Jett129 yes, she is a professional model. In most cases I work with models with a TFP (time for prints) contract: after the shooting gets the model the photos which she likes. Some days before I start the shooting I send a moodboard with approx. 20 photos to her to talk about different styles, poses and clothes. I do not much post processing with digital photos, I hate to sit in front of the computer and wasting time. In some cases I print the photos. I have to admit that I send the films to a lab for developing and scanning. And I totally agree with you, for me the most important part of a portrait are the eyes. This is what‘s makes the difference.

              Very cool - I love b/w film. Was really into Ansel Adams when I was young.

              The bus to Ilford goes past my street, which makes me think of the film.

                    I was out in Yosemite 3 years ago,and at the time I was fooling around with a Lensball. I took this shot and entitled it If Ansel Adams had a Lensball. He’s probably turning over in his grave at the thought.

                      @Bridger I love Ansel! I tried recreating his Snake River image, but the trees have grown and you miss the curve of the river now.

                            @Marc2706 Pretty much whenever I go to take a picture of my wife,the first thing she does is tilt her head,which I guess is her way of showing some level of annoyance that I ,at that point,want to take her picture. Subsequently I'm always telling her don't tilt your head,which further annoys her. but in this picture it ,totally, makes the shot for me,along with all the other components. I guess the answer is Professional models know how to use/make the head tilt work to their advantage,as opposed to spouses being asked to pose for vacation pictures.

                              @Jett129 I totally agree with you. I did a lot of portrait shootings but I think I will never take a portrait of my wife which she likes 100%. I think in comparison to professionals they do not feel comfortable in front of the camera and (especially my wife) they have no patience at all. And thanks a lot for your positive feedback.
