No not really. Cropping refers to the removal of the outer parts of an image to improve framing, accentuate subject matter or change aspect ratio. Depending on the application, this may be performed on a physical photograph, artwork or film footage, or achieved digitally using image editing software. The term is common to the film, broadcasting, photographic, graphic design and printing industries. Other images from Melbourne/Inner city suburbs and city streets

This was shot on on my Nikon FM2 with Ilford Delta 100 B&W Film. It is the first roll I ever developped myself, as part of my Black & White Course at the ACP. Random shots of my life in Como. Scanned of the negative. There will be heaps more to come over the next few weeks. I hope you like them. Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog . Cheers, Alex
I was a young fashion photographer’s assistant who had also photographed racehorses trained by my father. ITV heard the story and wanted to interview me with pictures of girls and horses. In this picture shot for Biba’s, a world famous boutique in Kensington High Street in the 60’s, I decided to combine them both. I borrowed the 20mm lens and the 250 exposure back from my boss, John Cowan, whose studio was used in the 1966 cult film Blow-Up and set off for Sussex. The 20mm lens had only just been introduced and was the first of it’s kind.

Too close to the performer to get any full length shots and virtually no light, this was a bit difficult, but came out better than I could have hoped. Shooting Ilford Delta 3200.

La Recoleta in the centre of Buenos Aries, is a vast and extraordinary necropolis that has become relevant historical and artistic monuments of the country. Its were the remains of Eva Peron lie. And its just staggeringly beautiful and massive. Its a world class expamle of funeral architecture and has been declared a heritage site. Still using film here. Ifford HP5. Then given its dark sepia cast to intensify the nostalgic and removed qualities in the image.
Every major city I’ve been in has its own prominent neon Coke sign and Buenos Aires is no exception. The coke sign in Sydney is the gateway to Kings Cross and all that goes on there and the coke sign in the city of Buenos Aires seems to be located in a fairly equivalent part of town. Shot with a tiny Russin lomo camera with Ilford HP5 b/w film on my recent visit to this amazing and vital city in Argentina.

A view with the dark inside of a tunnel forming a silhouetted outline to the jagged roof line and distant cliff-tops beyond, taken at Dunnottar Castle. From the first roll I developed in Moersch Tanol, a staining developer with gorgeous tonality and low grain.

another local lighthouse shot…this one is straight blackandwhite though… since I found out what time the lights get switched of on this lovely gothic old lighthouse…..(5.30 am)....... I’ve been determined to catch it in it’s very best light when it’s still wrapped in darkness but has opened itself up to the light….. this was shot from the carpark on the southern side of the lighthouse and I’ve used the headlights of my car to illuminate the council works doors in the side of the embankment….. the lighting in this actually reminds me of a hobbit house….. a lighthouse as stylish as this one would have to have some sort of hobbit totem spirit hanging around….
I waited and waited, for the crowded O’Hare airport to part for a second so I could take this photograph. I love it so much. Holga / Ilford 400 / negative scan Buy this print! Thank you for any comments and fav’s!
