Assignment 3.2 - 4x5 photo and enlargement

A 4x5 film enlargement on 11x14 paper in the style of Richard Avedon of Kort Woycheshin. I was inspired by the framing of Avedon (both film borders and subject in relation to negative space of the background) and the Western look of many of his portraits. I asked Kort to wear clothes that he felt comfortable in/wanted to be photographed in for the portrait.

 For my final assignment I chose to do two series; one as a narrative/artist’s self portrait, and another in collaboration with Polina, a friend of mine who is a Ukrainian exchange student.

-to get the detail in the wagon wood I had to use dodging for about 1/5 of the exposure time
