I have been working on a series of photographic portraits of students and other members of the De Anza College community. Recently, I photographed Aahana, whom I did not know prior to this photoshoot; my friend Ivie just saw her walking around campus and asked if she wanted to have her photo taken. I thought it would be a nice opportunity to show how I construct a set and direct a subject who I've never met before. I've also noticed a number of comments requesting to see me making a silver gelatin print, so I included some footage here (you can also expect a more in-depth video on the silver gelatin printing process coming to this channel in the near future). I also made a couple of platinum prints using the negatives from this photoshoot; those are shown here as well.

This video references two other videos from my channel that you may find to be of interest:

    J'apprécie particulièrement les portraits à la chambre photo 10 x 12 c m ou 4 x 5 i n c h, on fait des très beaux portraits sans aucune granulation, et avec une certaine netteté.et une certaine profondeur,et avec le papier photo traditionnel, que l'on peut développer jusqu'au bout, on aura un travail d'une très grande qualité.
