i'll add this to the inspiration thread after a while but figured i'd give him his own thread for a little more attention first.
would love to see his PP work flow.
very sensitive and emotional photography...I enjoyed the link! :)
This is really nice stuff. Would like to know what lighting he uses and what lens he uses - the Rebel is a fine camera - stick a decent lens on it and properly light/compose your shot and I suppose you don't need anything more.
Good find.
Glass is definitely more important then the camera. Camera sensors are pretty far advanced now so even a rebel series are packing some power. it's mostly form factor for the lower end models that make them different.
also a resized flickr photo on a screen is going to look good because of how small it is no matter what camera it comes from as well. it's the 100% views for the pixelpeepers where you can see the finer differences and also in large prints.
The lens really helps, and of course you need to have a good eye. These photos are very dramatic and thought provoking.
However, you need to know how to post process to get your desired effect. In this case, you need to know how to take the photos so you can apply your desired post technique.
this one is really beautiful http://www.flickr.com/photos/scarrol...7623024240040/
The contrast is very well done, and I bet it's not just using the brightness contrast tool. Also desaturated and a bit cool. There are lots of ways to recreate what the dark room does to film, but combining layers, dodge burns, shadow/highlights, sharpening and all that. Just my 2 cents!
