A continuation of the 'Intimates' series. Hasselblad 500C/M and 80mm Planar, Kodak Tri-X.
The first series of my new ‘Bipeds’ project. I love the randomness of old, expired Polaroid film, with it’s weird and wonderful developer marks, scratches and emulsion defects. This series was shot on Polacolor 100 film which expired in 2004 (camera was a Hasselblad 500C/M). Many thanks to my good friend Dee for continuing to tolerate my experimental shoots (and experimental materials)!
Hasselblad Proxar Close Up Filter
I found a Proxar diopter tucked in a side pocket of a bag I got when I bought a used Hasseblad and thought I’d try it out on this Swiffer victim. Proxars are glass filters which you mount to the front of a lens to allow it to focus closer than with the lens alone. This is the 2m Proxar which I believe was designed to be used with a 250mm lens but here I tried it on the 80mm Planar.
Hasselblad 500C/M
Hand-built in Sweden, the Hasselblad 500 series of cameras is one of the most popular medium format systems of all time. The brainchild of Victor Hasselblad, the original 500C model, launched in 1957, was also one of the first true system cameras, embodying a modular design that allows components to be mixed and matched with ease to create the perfect camera for any specific assignment.
I’ve been collaborating with Jessika for three or four years now and we’ve had many successful shoots. These first images are from a session in early 2010 and were shot on location in an incredibly photogenic home in North Knoxville.
Jessika – Mamiya RZ67 ProII with Sekor 110mm F/2.8 and Ektachrome
I lit the entire shoot with a combination of available light supplemented by a single large softboxed strobe, and used a Mamiya RZ67 ProII camera loaded with Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Pro films.
Although I love black and white photography, there are times when the light, subject and location demand the use of colour film.
Poppet
For this shot I used Fuji Velvia 50 transparancy film because of it’s highly saturated colour rendition, which I knew would enhance the contrast between the blue of the pool and the red dress. I used a Hasselblad 500C/M camera with 80mm Carl Zeiss Planar lens, and shot from the top of the pool slide. A single silver reflector was used to push some sunlight onto the face to reduce shadows.
Nashville singer and songwriter Kendra Chantelle, shot with a Hasselblad 503CW and 80mm Carl Zeiss Planar lens on Fuji Pro film (except the last image, which was shot int he studio with a Nikon D2X and 70-200mm F/2.8 VR Nikon lens). After her appearance on the last season of American Idol, you can expect to hear a lot more of this genuinely talented singer in the future!
