New Background Progress

I’m being taught some new background painting techniques by my lovely friend Hannah. She, unlike me, knows what she’s doing with paint. She’s a real professional, and was the subject of my ‘Inspired Artist’ Panel.

Yesterday was multiple passes of two color washes. Hopefully later today we’re going to regroup and get more daring. Whitewashing is in the air! In the meantime, here’s our progress and a shot of Hannah herself.

Day 54: Chris Keating

It’s not every day that you’re shooting with a $40,000 Phase One 65+. It’s also not every day that your fairly simple post leads to a PSD which weighs in at 1.65GB. 12GB of RAM is not nearly enough.

This is all part of a multi-camera, multi-format shoot-out my friend Dan and I did tonight.  More on that in the next couple of days once I get the film developed.  Anyways, click image to enlarge.

Two monsters of photography in two weeks.  I guess I’m on a roll.
