A few shots from an early morning trip up to Cades Cove with Dee this past weekend, all taken with a Rolleiflex 3.5 E on Kodak Tri-X.

Rolleiflex 3.5 E Test Roll
I wanted to test my newly repaired Rolleiflex so I enlisted the help of a work colleague to model while I shot a quick roll of Tri-X. There is a little bit of flare in the contre-jour shots, but I wasn’t using a lens hood so I expected that. Overall, though, I’m very pleased with the results from my bargain bin Rolleiflex!

Rolleiflex 3.5 E (K4C) Planar
I popped into a local photo store the other day to pick up some C41 processing and noticed a Rolleiflex Automat in their used used camera display. I already have two Automats, but I still gave it a quick once over. Noticing me looking at it, one of the sales staff half-jokingly asked if I wanted a cheap, non-working Rolleiflex to repair. I said, “Sure, what is it?”. He went to the back room and returned with a 1956 3.5 E with Carl Zeiss Planar lens.

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.

Portfolio – Jessika
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.

Portfolio – Poppet
Although I love black and white photography, there are times when the light, subject and location demand the use of colour film.

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.

Portfolio – Kendra
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!

Hasselblad Macro Setup
I wanted to take some still life close-up shots a little while ago but, not being what I normally shoot, I didn’t want to invest in one of the superb Hasselblad macro lenses. The solution I settled on was to use the 80mm Planar mounted on a 55mm extension tube.

This setup got me more than close enough for what I needed while still remaining fairly manageable (I discounted using bellows because of this). Focusing is a little tricky as you lose a few stops of brightness on the ground glass screen with the extra extension, but this wasn’t an issue in the studio where I have plenty of light.
