Portrait of Camille
October 24th, 2007
Camille contacted me via my myspace page (yes 2.0 application that is more hype, which was full of friends that we never saw coming and you stick full of spam on your page ... Unlike a Facebook application which is 2.0 hype when it was full of friends who offer to participate in 40 tests per day ...)
The goal of our collaboration is to make portraits a little more based on atmosphere and working with natural light / artificial city (large aperture reflector and perspective).
Camille decided to work with several photographers to have different styles and different looks, I would not fail linker to images of other photographers when they are realized.
Here are some pictures of that first meeting, which allowed us to discuss expectations of each of the series perform and perform some fairly simple portraits in natural light. As I already explained before with the post about the photos of Lara , this first meeting is essential for me, it helps create a climate of trust and agree on the content of work performed.
I worked with two color temperatures corresponding to the light colder and warmer of two parts, giving the final images on one side and warm enough contrast and other images with lighter values and a softer contrast. The light of the sun is filtered through different thicknesses of the curtain depending on the desired light intensity.
Level goals, I stayed on my two primes the nikon 50 1.4 and 1.4 with 85 openings of 1.6 - 2.0 (to keep both eyes net when they are not on the same plane).
As is customary Capture One for the "development" of raw files with a setting of white balance, contrast and saturation.

Hello BenB
It happens to you or to chômmer let stand your D200
Well, despite an unorthodox pose, I hook especially the last.
I do not know if it's laying in itself, framing and lighting. But there's something going on besides.

Hello Ben,
I am your site so hidden for some time ... I had my eye on you d70 forum! And as I really appreciate the quality of your photos, I always look forward to the new series via RSS!
I'm not here to tell my life, this is not the object.
Just to say we do pretty encounters on myspace! However, I found a slight softness except on the last picture in the series. Is it a slight blur? At what shutter speed were you?
Anyway, I continued to feast their eyes because your portfolio is a true gourmet restaurant!

as usual, BenB, I hang a lot on your portraits and your approach to photography.
Few people have this quality in terms of picture and it's really enjoyable to watch.
I have one thing to say: you can persist in the task and continue as a really undeniable talent that few people can boast that more is that you do not have a style but more.
@ + And good night

Still a great series! We would like to say "as usual" ...
I would still have liked to see compositions may be tighter? But surely the model had its criteria too?!
Good luck anyway!

There's nothing to say you've mastered the portrait. Some would say that a beautiful model to play a lot
This approach interesting to see several photographers to get the best. Interesting for the photographer to be compared on the same model with its personal touch.
I love the 3 and 5 ...

Superb.
I prefer the photos "dark" (first two and last) to the other two. They have something exciting while others are more "mundane". That said the pretty banal
