The Boydell Sisters

Steph and Vicky wanted to go to the studio today to shoot some plates. Vicky hadn’t been before and was visiting from London/Cambodia/Paris?

As soon as they were in they were amongst the prop shelves and hats.

We threw up one of the painted backdrops, window light was poor so I turned on my two 9 bulb heads and Johns 8 bulb monster unit….still wasn’t enough. Standing seemed to be a bit of a problem.

These are whole plate clear glass ambros using the Watson studio camera, Ross Xpres f4.5 for 20 – 30 seconds.

Once again the silver bath, collodion and dev are warmed on a heating unit.
