I’m always in trouble with the guys who comment on forums. They all tell me what I’ve done is technically wrong. Ultimately I’d rather have a beautiful flawed photo than a technically perfect boring one. I think that’s often the other outcome. *I sincerely believe that flaws make images believable.

Right on that man!
Maybe we should invite him here, I can't imagine he would get in the sort of trouble he gets elsewhere!

I wonder if the rollei in the photo is his?

Edit ... No, it's not ...

The extras in this shot are my assistants. We rented some old cameras and I put them in suits.

His tips around getting light into the 'air' in shots is something I'm really going to be thinking about.

I'm sure it's his cinematic experience - using some fogging is just genius!!!
