May 2007
These were shot in my new studio, which is now my former studio. They were all done in natural light - I say this because shots 5 and 6 look like they were lit, but about halfway through the shoot a large shadow from two smoke stacks gradually moved across the three windows in the studio, so bright sunlight would come through only one window at a time allowing me these nice results. I didn't use the studio very much as I don't like to use a location more than once, but the light was nice. As for the process: After being a old-school darkroom jockey for many years, doing things digitally feels a lot like cheating. It is much easier, but probably like most photographers, I get more out of doing the shoot and sharing the images. The process has become entirely secondary. The model was somebody I wanted to work with for a very long time and I was glad to have the chance when she came through town. All I can say is that Iceland must be a warm country.
