So I mentioned my little experiment on Friday on the shoot w/ Michelle – I was shooting just film with no way of checking my exposure other than my light meter. No polaroid, no digital camera. Everything pre-visualized and carefully setup.
Earlier in the day on Friday I had just Jerry Avenaim’s blog post about shooting white-on-white and decided I wanted to try that. One might argue, that putting both of these experiments into the same shoot would not be the best choice, but hey – sometimes you have to just go for it.
So today I got the film back from the lab and scanned it – and I have to say, I’m quite happy:
I followed Jerry’s general direction. I setup a beauty dish high camera left. I then setup two heads with shoot through umbrellas pointed at the white studio wall. Michelle was probably some 10’ from the wall. I metered the lights to one stop below on the back of Michelle. And then I shot one roll of film – 10 exposures.
Saw all of the exposures from the shoot, and they all worked out. Still have to retouch the remaining picks before delivering them tomorrow.

I shoot a LOT of stuff on my cyc wall (which is really nothing more than a roll of 9' white seamless), but I certainly don't have the balls to do it with film--that's for sure. Nice job with this!
