french balcony

part of a ttv (through the viewfinder) series

Theory:
TTV (Through The Viewfinder) photography is when you use an old medium format camera and a digital camera.
These old medium format twin reflex cameras have large viewfinders. Firstly you compose your image using the medium format camera (in my case i have used a mamiya c33) then you actually take the picture using a digital camera (here i use my pentax K10) of what is in the viewfinder of the old camera.

french balcony belongs to the following groups:

***Amazing + Analogue***, ***♂♥♥QUORN♥♥♀, Diptychs & Triptychs , Live, Love, Dream: , The Woman Photographer **7 Submissions a week only please** and TTV: Through The Viewfinder Available for sale as

    absolutely stunning piece…composition, concept, styling and light…and i LOVE the way you are using film combined with dig, and your creative approach with the mediums, brilliant!

  • aglaia b replied

    thanks so much michael. it does look like film doen’t it. in fact, it’s all digital. the top frame is shot though the view finder of an old medium format camera, those specly bits and dust etc are actually on the viewfinder. a pretty cool technique i must admit i discovered here on this site. ;-) xox

  • Michael A. Morrison

    Michael A. Mor...
