I just love natural light, this was part of bridal lingerie story for Elegant Bride Magazine. Just gorgeous north light and lots of big reflectors and a fan.
If you don't mind my asking, what is your workflow for scanning C-41 negs? It seems like a never-ending journey for me. For me Nikon Scan 4.0.2 on my 9000 gets it bang on in "negative" mode a large percentage of the time but it doesn't always leave as much shadow tail as I like. I have spent a time with an ImageMagick script called "negfix8" and also with the ColorPerfect plugins. Lately, I have even resorted to inverting directly with the "Curves" panel in PhotoLine and I am even experimenting with a workflow from a batch of Photoshop actions called "DonzRGBActions". I like the results but I'm looking for something more consistent and less labour-intensive.
I'd love to see an article on whatever you do since clearly it works well!

My name is Richard Israel and I am a photographer who lives in Charlotte, NC with my beautiful wife Beth and our three amazing daughters, Ferris 11, Sophia 8 and Priscilla 4. I love life, I love photography.
I had been shooting digitally for nearly 8 years and recently fell back in love with film, so much so that I'm now shooting a large percentage of my weddings and portraits with film.
This blog is not a film versus digital debate as both have a place in my work flow but to hopefully inspire photographers to give film a try.
This is gorgeous! Great natural light photo. Keep the posts coming!
