Introduction to Hasselblads
Never having even held nor used a Hasselblad before, this task was quite daunting. So, Using the new digital hasselblad cameras we worked with tethered capture in the hassleblad's Phocus software. The set task was to approach two portraits (one full length & one head & shoulders) with a CEO of a particular industry in mind. Working with Joselyn Eling & Anthea Clarke we came up with the idea of someone involved within a gallery or similar.
For our portrait orientation we used Anthea, having her act as if she was an exhibitor. We attempted a full body shot but with minimal time, room & competing with her height we were not able to position the camera to get the ideal composition we wanted. Working as a group there seems to be much competitive talk of how an image should be composed, this we did run into. In the end not so much focusing of technique (exposure & composition could have been tweaked). Though this was our end result. Whilst exporting the software corrupted the image but it still gives an idea of our approach.
Our landscape orientation (double page spread) I was the subject, acting as an information guide type. When I think of an artsy information guide they're always whacky & unusual, as per the expression I had on my face. If I was to be composing the image myself I would have have the background frame more to the left of me to give impression that was what was being provided in the way of giving the viewer a taste of what my gallery provided.
