Caitlin, a portrait

I’ve had my Mamiya RB67 for almost 6 months now (the 3rd one I’ve owned) and I have been slowly finding a place for it in my workflow…sadly at the expense of my Hassy. I am loving it for portraits, something I am really growning fond of.

The room Wen and I use for our office has a window that gets really great light that is made even better when you cover it with a white sheer piece of fabric. The light gets even and softer and makes for great images.

Stormy portrait

On the day I shot this portrait of Stormy it was cold, wet and the light coming in the window wasn’t the greatest. I also forgot to switch my light meter from incandescent to spot so how I got this…call it luck. I’m liking having a 6x7 camera again (a RB67 for the 3rd time). I can make a style of portraits I want that I can’t do with my Hassy.
