2012 has been an interesting year for me photographically.
I started this series in January as a way to dispel the stereotype of the Occupy movement.
If someone would have told me that I would photograph Dr. Vandana Shiva, Ralph Nader, Dr. Jill Stein, Pulitzer prize winning journalist Chris Hedges, S. Brian Willson and more, I would not have believed it.
I am almost two-thirds of the way toward my 99 portrait goal.
Not really trying to provoke politics just wanted to share the photographic side.
Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party presidential candidate.
All were shot with my Hasselblad 500CM, 250/5.6 Sonnar lens (often with extension tube), except a few shot with 120/5.6 S-Planar.
Fuji Acros developed in Xtol 1:1.

Some excellent portraits there. Good work! I suck at portraiture so I am envious...
Cheers, Kris.

Thanks very much Womble, Attila and poilu!
It's been quite an interesting project. I plan on shooting 99 people, representative of the 99%. I have 35 to go!
The Hasselblad was my stalwart camera when I shot tons of fashion ads in the '80s.
Still love it and the 250/5.6. |

I know nothing of the politics involved, nor have I heard of the names you mention.
I do know your portraits are excellent, if a little strange.

I like these a lot. You've captured the personality of your subjects well. The range of different people is also impressive.
I'm not sure about the black backgrounds though. It's probably just me though. I always prefer environmental portraits. Just my taste I guess. |
