I have the privilige to work for a number of non-profits. This was part of assignment I did for the Stellenbosch Trail Fund. I was tasked with the job of taking photos of a number of Stellenbosch artists. The most famous the of the lot, Richard Scott and Lionel Smit are also some of the nicest guys around. I take all my portraits using a 1938 Graflex Speed Graphic using the papernegative process. This means I deal with low iso's of about 5. This means that light becomes very important. I develop these at home in my darkroom and scan them in. The photoshop work on these are minimal and I mostly use it to take away the dust particles that show up during the scanning.
