The Teacher [print]

Beautifully printed Thomas. Great work indeed.

Lovely tonality in this print. Keep them coming!

All the best,
Daniel

good photograph. I am impressed with the tonality of this print.

I too love the tones and light in this image.

Thomas, what's your view on dodging/burning in a print? It's a (very) minor point but her face is a touch dark to my eye. Normally I'd either put a fill card and bounce some light back in while shooting or else dodge just slightly during printing. Your views?

Anyway, a great series of images.

Thank you all!

Colin, it's tough to get the tones of the print to match on screen. I did actually dodge her face a hair to adjust tonality. I can't seem to raise the mid-tones any higher without impacting the highlights too much in the scan (read: blocked up and ugly). So I left it like this... My Mac has a pretty bright screen, and when I post images here from that computer I usually don't like what I see on a PC. Mid-tones and high-tones usually have problems in their tonality.

Thanks for the ideas!

It's perfect, I wouldn't touch it. It's the way the window light fell and just feels very real.

FWIW, I use a Mac also. Curves palette (apple-M) brings it up and allows you to tailor it quite finely to match the print more closely.

Nice work as always, Thomas!
