I can just see the European and Asian research labs rubbing their hands in glee...

My reading is that, for the most part, there is no intent. Too many photographers are just happy to have a nude model to work with, they never think about what they're trying to express through the image or even why they shoot the image. Not that different from any other photographic field, I guess.

Off unless I’m doing multiple exposures with one part of the subject’s body not moving.

A note for those of you not in the states, the USPS charges nearly $12 to ship one of these to Europe. We don't have the ❤️ to pass this along to you, nor the margin to eat the cost. If you are interested in 2+ titles, we can make that work, drop us an e-mail. F2.8Press@outlook(dot)com
Cheers!

I think I'll try and time something for next time I'm in the states. Meanwhile, I might just submit something to you.

I have just updated the Photosynthesis page on my portfolio with additional links: www.benfphotography.com/portfolio/ph...

I think so, at the bottom of the Photosynthesis section there's the vimeo video, and I think a link to some of the articles. I'll update that.

I've never tried that, but I do very similar things in camera ;-)

Great image. Can you clarify what "double negative" means in this context ? #believeinfilm

Oh, I'm not aiming for perfection. Drives the other guy in my lab nuts, he's the kind that would redo an image 15 times for some small margin of improvement. I don't have that patience ;-)

Still needs another pass, the blacks aren't quite as black as I'd like. I think this may be because the negative isn't perfectly flat, but that's the nature of a paper negative ;-)

Looks like I had a brain fart. I meant to write "nudes". Guess I'm not as over the flu as I thought I was.
