This is Charlie. I took a few shots of her with
the Blad (Hasselblad 500c) at the derelict hotel
at Corbiere. Using the Blad is a slower process
than using a digital SLR and she was curious about
what I saw through the view-finder.

There is something very gracious about using this
kind of camera. You bow to your sitter and present
yourself humbly. You dont have the "bang in your face"
scenario. The process is slower and you realy "create"
rather than snap. The light and focus become more of
an essential element rather than second nature.

Most of my models have revealed that they prefer to be
photographed this way, but the post processing just
takes a few days longer.
