A very early assignment for a computer magazine based in San Francisco, this image is of a seamstress. The project had me photograph six different people in various fields, with the same cross-processed film. The background is lit with hot lights, not LED, but actual tungsten Pepper hot lights, while the face is strobed. I vigorously shook my Hasselblad 500CM while exposing the film for a full second. The subject was frozen by the strobe, then she was instantly in relative darkness as the exposure built and 'moved' in the background during the remaining full second exposure. Fuji Reala negative film was over exposed by 2 stops and then E6 processed as a positive transparency (slide). The techinique took precision, but then the results were random.
