Monochrome Monday: Girl on Film

in #monochromemonday7 years ago

I made this photo of a friend on a train some 35 years ago. It was shot on Ilford FP4+ film, which was developed in a non-standard way to enhance the grain. The original wet print required some exposing trickery to get that silky, 1930s-postcard effect.

The version you see here was scanned from the negative and postprocessed to get the same effect. The grain doesn't show the way I want it to, because of downsampling to screen resolution, but the silkiness is still there:

Thanks for watching!

I've been looking at this for too long!!

Fantastic! Very sensual photo!

Thank you!

It does work to give it a dreamy vibe and a vintage feel to it

The dreamy feeling of the picture is so good, my friend.
Especially the softness seems to shine more with beautiful woman.

Thank you! 8-)

It's silk alright. You say girl on film, I say film on girl. Pretty.
