[Culling / Revision] Who am I (2004 till 2014)
« on: May 19, 2024, 23:50:59 »
I am in a new phase:
Less production, more revision
Kinda self exploration: Who am I as a photographer? What did I do where do I want to go?

Your introspective mind seems to be working nicely, Frank.  I like the color rendition of the second image that looks to me like a print from a color negative film.

Thank you, Akira




Currently I am culling experimental studio shots from the year 2010, the year I got my Sinar monorail cameras I use for table top work with Nikon DSLR as Digibacks

Why experimentation? Because I want to deliver the best for my customers and I do have to learn and practice.





In one case study I took a huge series of old and rare apple varieties like this "Geheimrat Oldenburg".
Yet the experiment was about how to make the apples appear as 3D-popout as possible tuning the positions of the front and read standart on the monorail as well as light diffusion and direction [Apples: 15. October 2010 with Apo Macro ED Large Format Nikkor 5.6/120mm ,,, Artichokes 27 September 2010, same setup,,, Brokkolli landscape 24. September 2010]:

It worked very well for the apples and tulips.

I like these Frank especially the B&W and crop which gives a sinister atmosphere.

Sorry to say that but in that area a lot of creepy mood spills from the roadsides

I like the ethos of this thread, plus a renewed vitality I'm detecting from you Frank
(the result of your "daily sports & veggies"?!)

.....2010, the year I got my Sinar monorail cameras I use for table top work with Nikon DSLR as Digibacks

Was this tulip image was from the Simar/Nikon combination ?
It looks luscious :)

I just found a series that I immediately sorted under athe "ART"-Denominiation in my "NEW ORDER"

It is that I visited my younger brother on May 17th 2008 and at that time called the series "definition", even started to write a text about "how to define a place and time through a photo series". A tad over the top I guess.

On 6 January 2007 I really seem to have been lost in the Matrix (or what can happen if you intentionally throw wrong parameters to a panorama set and let the software get really far out of her comfort zone):

the picture was

all soft and lovely
yet I needed to add
some aggressive edit to it
to make it appeal
to my bleeding heart
So eat or vomit
