Experimental Portrait

This morning as an experiment I tried an ICM (intentional camera movement) portrait of my friend Ori. The exposure was 0.8 seconds and I moved the camera in my hands. I quite like the results!

Hand Tinting Revisited

I am getting back into hand tinting, but using a digital workflow. Using an iPad, the Procreate app, and an Apple Pencil, I find the process of laying down digital “pigment” and then thinning it out to get the desired level of transparency to be very reminiscent of how I used to do it with darkroom prints and photo oils.

A New Year

It was a bright but chilly morning here in Toronto on January 1st. I was out with photography friends on a walk that included the University of Toronto campus. I liked the look of the clouds and the steam from the smokestack.

Allan Gardens With a New Lens

A nasty cold/flu bug has severely curtailed my shooting and posting recently, but I did get out this past Friday to Allan Gardens here in Toronto, shooting with my Sony a7ii and new TTArtisan 75mm f/1.5 lens. This lens will take some learning, but I love the look!
