This picture was made with an Ebony 4x5 and 150mm lens (unfortunately my longest lens for the 4x5) at f8, 250s, using Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film. Key light was a Paul Buff Einstein shot through a 24” beauty dish with an Alien Bees serving as a backlight on the seamless (I can’t say the backlight worked perfectly). The negative was scanned with an Epson V850 running SilverFast 8 and post processed with Photoshop and NIK Silver Efex Pro2.
