Couple Negative (Nude)

I liked the way this looked in the negative as well. When I had first talked to this couple I had planned on doing some shots against a black background but had changed my mind and decided to do some contrastier shots against a light background. I should have done both. I really like the way the negative of this image looks. I'm going to be playing in my darkroom sometime this weekend making a print that looks like this. I tried to increase the contrast in a way to reflect how this would look with a paper negative. If I don't have good results I'll get some sheet film and try that.

I love this idea~! Maybe less light on the arm in the man...would make the foreground less dark in this..which I think would make it better... What an idea to light the shot with a negative in mind... a whole reverse of lighting techniques... Shadow areas will glow... Very interesting image.. I like it~!

This is great! Thinking in reverse. Love the idea.

 

Tom, this is very cool, I like it!

 

Liked the way it looked in the negative. Will be printing it this

way once I get some lith film

I like it when technique is used to show a great idea and not for itself. Your visual idea is brilliant and the technique helps to make it real.

 

Congratulations

Tom,

this is very cool. It forced me to spend quite a bit of time trying to think about how to light a scene to accomplish this effect. Congratulations on a fine shot.

I love this shot. Will you be posting more from this shoot?

AH, now i know, sorry of last comment, hate to know were the light is! hehe, nice change of tones, and good negatives
