Some great info on your site. Thanks so much for sharing :-) I've wanted to try this style of lighting for ages - finally got some Arri junior fresnels 150 & 300s. Did my first attempt today. First thoughts...... A lot harder than I figured. Difficult to get that butterfly or loop shadow just right. But hardest of all - not blinding my subject all the time !!! Guess I'm probably making some schoolboy errors, but I'm loving the learning process. Any tips on the 'not blinding' bit? When I get the light where I think I want it, it seems to be a bit too strong in the face. Your shots are amazing! I'm shooting digital at the mo, but when I get more proficient, I'm looking forward to giving an old Mamiya RZ67 I picked up second hand a whirl. Cheers, Nick. Hey! Some great info on your site.

Any thoughts on the best medium format film (for scanning) for this genre? I'm leaning toward color neg for minimal grain, better exposure latitude and versatility in post processing (channel mixer). This is only a hobby for me so it will be a while before I try film again, but I've got several Fresnels to play with. Thanks! Great work, very inspirational.

They are from the 30's and 40's. It is time to let them go to someone who knows how to appreciate them and how to take care of them.
