Those of us who are follicly impaired enjoy your whimsical treatment of those with hair.


Great shots that show why you are sponsored and we (me in particular) are not!


Which Holga lenses did you use in these sessions?

Hi Ben, that is awesome for more/additional exposure for you!

I've been busy and missed out on more than a few of your posts... I'll have to dig around...

Best Regards,
Marc

how many separate lights did you use? It's nice to see your work has a consistent 'style' that makes it recognizeably yours. That is, you can produce work that varies in subject and setting, but it's not just one trick that risks becoming a cliche. (pardon the anglophone keyboard)

I am Anglo Canadian...No problem. For my most recent shoot "Men Love Dolls" which is featured in the Pentax Forums gallery, I used two light sources, but I suggest you read this article by Steve Jacob that may be somewhat more useful in understanding my philosophy of photography.

What is shown in the link above are images from several shoots, one example from each photo session. These productions vary from 8 to 18 pages. Therefore I cannot answer your question, as there were several different techniques employed.

Your work never ceased to amaze me. Always so classic with your signature look in all your photographs.

I really love them all. In awe of all the complicated and sophisticated use of lighting with unqiue themes
