I’ve previously espoused my love for Platon here and David Hobby at Strobist.com makes note that Timothy Greenfield-Sanders is another portrait master working with one soft light. Light that I too truly love. And dude is doing it on film with a large-format camera. Crazy!
Keeping it simple is something that doesn’t come natural to me… For some reason I always feel compelled to add more. A side-fill. A kicker. Perhaps a hair light. Or a gelled background light. I think it takes a great deal of confidence to work with one light and even deeper than that, a great rapport with your subject.
Starting now, I intend to embark on a series of portraits done in this fashion with an aim to connect on a deeper level than I’m currently accustomed to with my subjects. Any takers? Let’s see what happens.
And Mr. Greenfield-Sanders’ take on backstage portraits during NY fashion week.
And no blog post would be complete without some hot go-go boy action, now would it?
