While in Uganda we visited this cool water filter production site of a startup called Spouts of Water. For a sequence I needed someone to make a fire the traditional way and Mariam did the job. She was something like a cook, organizer at the factory and beautiful. So afterwards I asked her for a portrait...
Van Dyke prints of nudes, done some years ago. I think the printing method is perfect for this subject, as it shows a more painterly and abstract effect. I don't want the viewer distracted by the person, I want them to be immersed in the structure of the body and how it occupies space. Given that, I opted to use extremely high contrast neagtives and dramatic lighting in my final prints..
I have some good-looking friends who are patient enough to indulge me with portraits. Not all the time! At this point, everyone was very hungry and impatient to get to the restaurant. I whined and said that the light was so perfect - please let me take a few pictures! Photography can be a social challenge, as well as a technical one. ;-)
with the help of a piece of cartonage which i fixed on the right side between the lens and the film, i exposed one time only the left side of the film. for the scond exposure i fixed the cartonage on the side which was already exposed and did a second run exposing the right side. i had absolutely no idea what was gonna come out :)
