T.A.E.s Art Reviews Leaning In And Listening
In Leaning in and Listening, the viewer is confronted with an intimate, psychologically charged portrait executed in dense oil pastel upon an organic, hand-cast paper substrate. The work immediately enters into dialogue with early 20th-century Modernism, operating at the crossroads of School of Paris portraiture, Fauvist chromatic intensity, and German Expressionist structural directness. Through an astute integration of deliberate technical mark-making and an unapologetically tactile,Ideal for large group portraits:

Portraits Cristian S - ClassicTaken with the trusty Minolta AF 9000, this was mainly an experiment to see how the camera behaved in the studio. Cristi decided to take on a "Classic" look and I think the results came out pretty nice!

Im going to take a break from the Contax G2 collection for a while.Not because Ive stopped taking photos with this camera, ( I've sold it )
but because Ive just had a recent roll of film developed
and Ive got quite a lot of half-frame film shots sitting on my hard drive.
But of course were not going to take a break with a mediocre photo. On the contrary, I think this ones really brilliant. Of course, E. is a fantastic and dynamic young woman, but this shot was taken whilst we were out walking, it wasnt posed. It really is the cameras speed and the lenss sharpness that made this possible.
Ive sold my Contax G2, I wasnt using the camera nearly enough myself, and its not the sort of camera that should be left in a cupboard gathering dust. But I can now look back on a few shots I took with it.
I found the Contax to be a particularly fantastic camera for taking a series of portraits. I took it with me to many meetings with people Id never met before, where the aim was for both of us to be happy with the photographic results.
Ive already shared some photos taken with this camera here, but now, as a farewell, Im putting together a collection:

In The Fifth Seduction, less attention is paid to the affair between the two female leads than to how their work relationship and friendship survive the breach of professional boundaries. Featured in this October Love promo, The Fifth Seduction is a contemporary look at messy relationships, true love, and abiding friendship, with an emphasis on HEA.

Between the first photo or series taken with my Contax G2
and the last series,
there was, of course, a lot in between. And lots of photos and portraits.
For example, a series of photos I took just after my Contax G2 had been repaired
(one of the shutter curtains would sometimes get stuck)
The test went well, everything was sharp and fast again...
Oh the picture must have been on Insta before but we don't post anything on that again.

The previous photowas from my first series taken with a Contax G2.
This one is from the very last shoot I ever did with that camera.
Its not the first photo Im showing from this last series
but it was the last time I used that particular camera.

Its done Ive sold my Contax G2. I hope the new owner will be delighted with it. And that shell take some fantastic photos with it. I wasnt using the camera nearly enough myself, and its not the sort of camera that should be left in a cupboard gathering dust. But I can now look back on a few shots I took with it.When I bought my Contax G2, there was something odd about it right from the start. Every now and then it would take photos like this... So I sent it back to the shop and they gave me a different one !
