The last wildflowers of spring

Effects made in-camera

My first results from "real" large format photography on actual film (as opposed to alternative methods like direct cyanotype).

Quick phone pictures snapped and inverted after development, while I wait for a chance to 3d-print the film holder for my scanner.

Shot on Arista Ortho Litho (rated for ISO 6) and developed at home in Cinestill df96 monobath.

Production Processes (Supporting Post)

For the rural scenes there were physical challenges and risks mainly with equipment moving. For the entire piece my main camera was a BlackMagic design, Pocket Cinema Camera 6k Pro. Whilst being a compact form-factor camera, hiking equipment up rural hills became physically difficult due to weight distribution when combined with lenses and a tripod. The weight and size of the kit caused challenge and risk with getting up and down the locations I wanted during daylight hours as to prevent any risks associated with limited light. These risks were thankfully further mitigated where I was able to get help to securely transport myself and kit by car to these locations which always ensured safety of myself and the kit. 

For the urban scenes I used London as my backdrop due to its ease of access from Kent and Leeds as well as for its stark iconography. For the first 2 filming days in London, I used a compact rig of the 6k Pro, taking minimal equipment, with no tripod and fewer lenses. This was to mitigate risk associated with equipment safety like theft as well as weight risks. This meant that I had to be careful in my lens choice and limited the type of shots I could get from the lack of a tripod. I ended up opting for a 58mm Petzval Lomography lens which provided the rounded depth of field bokeh control in the two shots below that made the final cut. Secondarily I used a 24-105mm zoom lens which provided greater versatility and produced most of the footage from those dates. On the third London filming date I only took a DSLR camera with no video function which is where I took all the ‘frame by frame’ sequences of the final project using 100s of photos. These three days were well planned and involved exact routes and lists of the types of edits I wanted. This helped time factors and made the production workflow more efficient. 

The shoots at home in Kent filled in all the gaps of footage I needed and provided many of the more conventionally narrative sequences of the project. I used my living room as the backdrop for the shots below, which proved to be smooth filming sessions with minimal risks and complications where I had a controlled and private location. For these scenes I had unlimited amounts of time to experiment with the angles, lens choices, mise-en scene and lighting. For the ‘Sofa Shot’ I framed the shot with as many plants I could find which created a delicately, natural contrasted mise-en-scene. I was also able to film this scene with only natural light by positioning the curtains in a specific way to shape the way the light entered the scene.

"Apple Tree" by Erika Masterson

Apple tree This image was photographed in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. I used a large format 8x10 view camera with an 1800’s brass Petzval lens. I hand developed the black and white film in my darkroom. I call this camera “Sally”. This image to me speaks of innocence and raw beauty. What do you see?
