Thistle 16
One thing I truly love about large format photography is doing still lifes. I It may look simple but I’ve found still lifes to be hard work. Everything has to be perfect and its always a challenge to get there.
Thistle 16 was taken on Ilford FP4+ film, 4×5 sheet. I developed the negative in Pyrocat-HD developer using the extreme minimal agitation technique. My “studio” was set up in the backyard, draping a spare dark cloth over the grill for the background. The sun was high and to the right rear.
Rose 2006
Rose 2006 was done indoors on the dining room table, natural light, using Polaroid Type 55 positive/negative film.
Hope you enjoy!

Those still life images are well done, Alex. I like your notion of using a spare dark cloth for the background.
