So, a few snapshots for your viewing pleasure (I hope)
I'm not sure if you remember my work - I'm the guy with the thing for Hollywood lighting. But black and white Hurrell copies are not the only thing I do. So - colour this time

I. And Good God Created a Woman

II. Porcelain

III. Summer Kiss

IV. Wild Things

V. Look Into The Sun

VI. Kinda Blue

VII. Maravillosa

And, a selfie for a good measure:

The Portraitist Without The Full Frame

Depth of field on some of these is just INSANE!!! (in the good way lol) What are you shooting with?

Hackbone · March 15, 2014

Absolutely lovely!!! Could you describe your processing?

I'm usually not a fan of extreme shallow DOF, but these are incredible. In love with #3. Great job on all aspects (lighting, processing, mood)

Spectacular portraits! Very professional looking for sure... I really like the shallow depth on these, it works well on these beautiful women. Well done!

Glad you like it

I'm shooting with Fuji GX680 (it's the one in the middle on the selfportrait) with Fujinon GXD 180 3.2 lens. I have to admit I'm a sucker for a razor thin depth of field and this is just the camera for people like me.
Process is simple - I shoot, drop the negs at the nearest lab for developing, scan them and fix whatever needs fixin using standard Lr/Ps combo.
As for "professional looking" - I understand it's meant as a compliment and thankyou, but I don't really like this particular phrase

Professional in my book has nothing to do with the quality of work. All it says is that money were involved, which is not the case here. It's a rare thing I'm happy enough with the things I do professionally to showcase it to the world. Mostly because your standard human being is not interesting enough

Since it's a film camera does it have a mechanical "aperture preview" button to let you see the dof before you shoot? It just looks like in a couple you've got the eyes at the very rearmost point of sharpness, and I'm trying to imagine how to get it that accurate (I too am a shallow dof junkie). Realllllyyy impressive!

Love it all! - Great job

Our company shoots with the RZ67 ProII's and 645 - The lab did a great job! - did they do your scans?

It does (or actually the lenses have it), but it doesn't matter since I always shoot wide open. Focusing is a breeze, you wouldn't believe the viewfinder quality on this camera. It really only compares to working on the matte screen of a LF camera.
