Double Vision

In my progression from film to digital imagery I have been experimenting with different ways to create similar effects without the use of film. The three images in this week's blog are the result of this experiment.

As I began this experiment I tried each of the different blending modes and played with different opacity levels for each, trying to duplicate the effect one gets with film. None of them duplicated the effect, but the method I used to create these images creates an interesting alternative to the film approach.

In the final image of the three, the overlap of the two images creates a kind of halo effect around the interior image.
Expect to see a new gallery on my website in the near future filled with other images like these as I continue experimenting.

Mark - IR

Since Kodak discontinued their infrared film I have been experimenting with alternative films. This one from Freestyle is pretty much a total wash when it comes to IR effects, but I still like the image.
For anyone experimenting with Freestyle's IR film, the problem with it is that the negatives come back very "thin" after developing (i.e. light like they were underexposed) and there is zero IR glow from the skin of the model.
Back Study

This week I offer a study in back musculature. The model is Bruce. The photograph was taken several years ago.
As can be seen, Bruce was in fantastic shape when this was shot, with very low body fat and thin skin.
The composition of the photograph might be a little unusual in that the model is facing away from the camera, but as Bruce pulls and pushes on the railing with his arms, the muscles of his back come into amazing relief.
The image was shot on black and white film, scanned from film and then toned with a slightly warm cast in Photoshop.
