Shot with new model Kate yesterday. I used AF lenses for about 2/3 of the shoot, but here's a few with the Trioplan.

Off camera flashes used main or fill light (in the harsh afternoon sun) as I dislike natural light for modelling photography.

B&W conversions in SFX.

Vignette apparent in original, but enhanced and WB set to Tungsten

OK, you might dislike natural light for model photography, but Kate_15 comes close to what I like most as there was no (apparent!) flash used.

Great series, not only because of the Trioplan rendering...

I especially love the backlighting in the third one, and the colour, lighting and composition of the fourth.

Thanks for the comments - The backlighting was courtesy of the sun.

Thanks - Yes, it's just used on low power to fill in the shadows. I only made the comment as I'm a Strobist and it seems many here dislike the style.

Well, disliking is maybe a too harsh word to use. Strobism is a great technique, but for me it stops where I see harsh flash shadows. But that's just my opinion; apart from this I realy like the compositions and choice of your model. Finally a real woman! Very Happy

Peter - Possibly too harsh, butas you've said, when flash is obvious you don't like it. I get your point. Laughing

I quite like the effect of obvious flash, but I also like the natural looking images, so you'll find a mixture in my work.

Thanks for the comments.
