Hidden Gem
Updated: Aug 20, 2021
The unpredictable time of lockdown has provided me with a few gems.
Whilst keeping myself busy going through my files to finishing off a couple of books (which details I shall furnish you with very soon) I have uncovered a few unpublished shots.
Here is a beautiful unpublished shot of #IanMcKellen. It was taken during a project I was working with #VivienneWestwood 7 years ago. This was just a lighting test before the actual shoot...as I was playing with a VERY shallow depth of field. I wanted to make sure I had his eyes in focus and not just the tip of his nose...so there was lots of tests going on...moving him forward and back just millimetres.
I actually love this test shot and find it a shame it was never used, just kept in my files. So I thought I would give it a well overdue airing!!

https://sanslicencecasino.com reading about how many test shots it took just to nail the focus on Ian McKellen's eyes makes me appreciate how much invisible work goes into a single portrait, especially with that shallow depth of field where millimetres actually matter. The idea of a "failed" test shot being the one you end up loving is something I've experienced with my own photography, where the accidental frames often beat the planned ones. Seven years sitting in a folder feels like a long time for an image that clearly still holds up.
Your article was very interesting to me. I am looking forward to reading your post when it finally appears. I hope you have success with your next upgrade. This is an essay that is both quite intriguing and very helpful. Attempt to relax and enjoy the game: tiny fishing 2
Great post. It's clear the author knows the subject matter very well.

What a beautiful gentleman. And what a beyond description photograph. As a painter I see everything as an oil painting. and this would be a stupendous painting., For too long photography has been deprived of it's due as "fine art". The argument that the machine does the work is wrong. It's the eye that does the work, just like mine. Rarely does one see a photograph like this one. It's just excellent
