I have wanted to so some nudes and bodyscapes but give them the feel that images had back then. Back when we really didn't care about grain, it was all a part of photography. We lived with it. It is possible to take digital images and give them grain in Photoshop, but honestly, nothing looks like film except kFILM. I may shoot some in digital but was originally going to shoot film with the Hasselblad but now I am thinkng I more along the lines of using 35mm Tri-X and develop it in D-76 undiluted and at 75 degrees F to bring out the contrast and grain. Below is a model I have been talking with about this project and she is pretty psyched about it. I took a photo from her online porfolio (and no I am not going to give you guys the URL) and reworked it in Photoshop to kind of simulate the effect I am looking to create. Below is a link to the image and it is NSFW! I am only posting a link because Nikonites resizes things so much and the feel of what I want to achieve will be lost. When you click on the link, make sure that if your browser resizes it to fit, go back to full size. It is a pretty large image.<a href="http://scottmurphyphotography.org/images/virginia grain.jpg" target="_blank">http://scottmurphyphotography.org/images/virginia grain.jpg</a>Below is a link to an image I found on the web and reworked it too.
