Black & White Nudes... all shot on film (Pics)
 

I shot these all in the last few months... mostly on TMax 400 but a couple were shot on TMax 3200 and pushed one stop... a mix of 35mm and MF and all were developed at my kitchen sink. Anyone else still shoot b&w film here?

Great work :thumbsup

Very nice!
Haven't used film in years...but on occasion, I digitally modify to b/w and assorted film types.
{There's an app for that! j/k}
But, I do admit, I miss darkrooming...started that when I was abut 14/15...made on i the closet in 1976/1977!

Good job, pics are looking good :thumbsup

looks nice

Looking great!

Good stuff :thumbsup

Great work :thumbsup

Hot :thumbsup and the black and white shots make them hotter :)

Question for you. The pics are nice, but why bother doing it this way? I understand the film purists out there, and I think film for movies will always have its place too, but why bother shooting on film for the web? You can't preview the work, you need messy chemicals, then you have to scan them in, etc. Couldn't you reproduce all of the effects above in photoshop? Or am I missing something?

(Sorry not trying to be critical, just asking).

Why buy a car that cannot get you any great distance?

Nice pics!!!

Great looking shots

These aren't intended for the web--I shoot them with the intention of making prints in a darkroom, and I only scan the negatives because I want digital versions of them. I just finished a year's internship with a master printer in a pro lab here in LA because I wanted to improve my printing skills... it's just something I enjoy and find satisfying.

And yes, I can manipulate images in PS and make prints, but the prints are completely different to the silver gelatin prints made in a darkroom--digital prints are made by spraying ink onto paper; silver gelatin prints consist of silver metal that's created by the effect of light and chemicals and embedded in the print.

KODAK and my hometown thank you.

Really nice girls :thumbsup

Got it. thanks for clarifying.

WOW! Those are very nice pics :)

Nice man, shooting film is becoming a lost art for sure.

The guy I interned with just doubled his prices for b&w printing because there are only 3-4 other guys in LA who can print at the level he does. One of those printers now charges $85 for an 8x10 and one variation print.

^^^ This...sadly.

i lik yoo

nice pics!

This...and I feel as though they have a far better shelf life.

...i'll take a number 15 with a side of girl in the bushes.:thumbsup

lots of nice shots here. good work!

Honestly, looks like a nik filter.

Reminds me of Eric Krolls work sorta...

Hot babes and fantastic photos... ;) great job man... :) :thumbsup

Interesting content!

nice :thumbsup :thumbsup

Digital black & white
 

I like to play around with black and white too, but I just take a color photo and play with it to see what it will look like BW.

Yup, because that is how good Nik Filters are ;) :thumbsup

Nice! I still love shooting film as well. :) The cost of printing has gone up dramatically but the cost of film cameras is incredibly cheap! I just picked up a couple more Nikons on eBay including a Titanium F3 :thumbsup

Dude the shots are awesome!!! I still shoot
35mm shots, both color and b and w and still use a full darkroom. I don't use it for my sites, I shoot stuff for me. I love my camera and it's never failed me. Keep up the good work.

Thanks
