Keen Amateur photographer, camera club member, UK based. Lots of studio and model work in my feed. Have a look at Purpleport.com for my work - escargo2k

Mostly Nikon D850 or Leica M9 and occasionally Bronica ETRSi analogue

No AI!
Probably wouldn't get much of a signal....

Lydia - is she still modelling since she left Russia?

Lots of coffee! And an occasional cup of tea

Thank you, it's a while ago but think it was a single strobe at about 45 degrees to the model up above and to her left.

I think the image top right was a self portrait.

Just visited the exhibition of her life & work at the Tate Britain, on Friday. The quality of her work and her eye for the essentials behind the story really stood out.

Make that the late 60's and I'm with you - by the 80's I had a family and had to grow up!

Totally agree, I prefer to favour individual images rather than 4 at a time, and it's only polite to name the model (unless of course they request to remain anonymous). Also please use their working/stage name rather than their name in real life.

Been debating switching to the Z8, but it's not a cheap option.

No, days of me opening a studio are long gone! The Leica was a result of my wife's uncle leaving his M4 and lenses to me when he died - I sold the body and bought the M9. Loved using it and some of my best images have been shot on it.

Very happy with my 85 1.4 (DSLR lens) so I'm sure that the Z series 1.2 version will be exceptional.

Yes, nikon for most of my photographic life from Nikkormat Ftn to my current D850. Did also have a Leica M9 for a while till the sensor failed.

That's why Billy Connoly said the Scotland has 2 seasons - Winter and June!
