This has so much character, looks like the cover of a novel.
You look fantastic too.

Thanks everybody. I think maybe I should explain the look of the photo a bit more. Its taken with b/w film then solarized in the darkroom and then sepia toned and then allowed to seriously degrade. I’ve been know to line pictures up and drive the car over them not to mention using kitchen scourers etc. Then scanned and into photoshop for a bit more fiddling around and hey presto. In the portrait challenge no 2 the image is framed in a template which I made by painting out the negative with opaque red ink and then scanned so I was left with the film strip edges. Then I use it as a framing device on various images. Sometimes this one had that tempate and if you look through my portfolio there is a series called ‘After the flood’ which all have this same template applied to it. I have several different types of templates now which get put on different photos depending on the mood I’m in. I hope that helps a bit.

I’m a big user of alternative methods of image making using all types of analouge as well as digital imaging depending on the mood of the image I’m after. But all the images on my site have started life as negatives from film and then added to one way or the other. If I start to load digital picutures I’ll specify that that is what they are so its very clear. Not that I mind one way or the other but I have TONS of film work and as I’m sorting all that out thats what I’m uploading at the moment.

Thanks again for all the positive comments everybody, I just love to get some feedback especially as its been so much fun to participate in this portrait challenge :)

Wow, I didn’t know so much work went into them

Hey Dennis this is not really work. I love it beside artists don’t really have lives other than fiddling about with their pictures. Maybe I should get a hobby or a pet or maybe even a husband then I wouldn’t have to spend all my time being psyhco with my paintings and photo’s. :)

Love the texture and feeling in this shot – Great work!

Beautifully degraded hahahaa, nice work Juliee

oooh yeh. i love how you have made the image look like one of our old great grandparents photos….textured with history and time.
