Student Portrait Session on the Intrepid 8x10: Capture, Develop, and Contact Print + Platinum Bonus!

I have been working on a series of photographic portraits of students and other members of the De Anza College community. Recently, I photographed Aahana, whom I did not know prior to this photoshoot; my friend Ivie just saw her walking around campus and asked if she wanted to have her photo taken. I thought it would be a nice opportunity to show how I construct a set and direct a subject who I've never met before. I've also noticed a number of comments requesting to see me making a silver gelatin print, so I included some footage here (you can also expect a more in-depth video on the silver gelatin printing process coming to this channel in the near future). I also made a couple of platinum prints using the negatives from this photoshoot; those are shown here as well.

This video references two other videos from my channel that you may find to be of interest:
