Melchi, Halloween, 2008

Here's my Nosferatu style portrait of Melchi.

I did a little etching on the neg to tone down the hot spot on the bench and the front leg, will probably do a bit more for the final version.

This is a really wonderful image. So handsome and how much he has grown since our dinner party !?

Was that was almost 2 years ago...? Oh my..

Thanks, folks. Yes, he'll be 2 in December.

The light is pretty simple, but if anyone's curious I've got two lights here, one in a plain 5" reflector with barndoors pointed upward just in front of the camera, and another with a Norman cylindrical background diffuser with two barndoors on a boom over the organ. The main light is about two stops brighter than the background light.

The blacks also separate much more nicely on the print than I can register in the scan.
