2009.05.14 Robert Hall's New Headshot

Robert Hall, an Edmonton and Vancouver actor, came to me for a new headshot upon Nikolas recommendation. I was looking forward to this shoot. Not that I don't enjoy shooting beautiful women in their late teens to early twenties but there's a lot of character to be found in the face of an experienced, older male actor. Nikolas was responsible for hair, makeup, and styling. Robert's own clothes complemented by my wardrobe which has begun to double as a styling kit for male subjects on photoshoots. Thank you to Derk's for having all of the cool clothes that I like. At time of posting, Robert is represented by the legendary Darryl Mork of Edmonton.

Darryl selected this photo to use as Robert's headshot. It's one of my favourites from the shoot. Shot with the Nikon D3 and 24-70/2.8 AF-S Nikkor at close range on the western side of the high level bridge. It was a particularly cold day and Robert was able to wear my favourite winter coat, a Tiger of Sweden peacoat.

My absolute favourite shot from the shoot. Shot with the Zeiss Ikon and the Leica Elmarit 90/2.8 (39mm filter variant) on the new Kodak Tmax 100 pushed to ISO 400 in Kodak HC-110 developer, dilution B. Scanned with the Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED. For so long I have avoided shooting film due to its inferior technical quality in terms of resolution density, exposure latitude, colour gamut, and cumbersome workflow. However, there is something beautifully organic about silver halid grain that I have grown to love. And there is no digital Zeiss Ikon yet.

One of my favourite shots that Nikolas took. Shot on the same roll as the previous photo. There's always something interesting on the roll or memory card when Nikolas picks up the camera.

I know Nikolas hates this shot because the tie is flipped over and in a strange position but I like this shot because of how naturally Robert managed to pull off a walking in an awkward line across a steep incline and in someone else's pants. Hahah.
