Your most welcome Bob. My ex-wife had a great body and she let me photograph her for my graphic B&W that I was real into back then, still have my darkroom and have lots of out of date film.

My first 4x5 was a Graphic View II. I upgraded to, and still use, an Arca Swiss 4x5 F-line. I had a custom front standard made for me by S.K. Grimes so my Graphic lens boards are interchangeable between the two. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with a Horseman. However, I'm also thinking of selling the Horseman. So, that project is on a major hold.
Unfortunately, none of the women, with whom I've been involved, cared to pose. However, they were agreeable to my photographing other models, as long as it was only photography activities. I had no problems with that at all.
I did a couple of pseudo calotype nudes with the Graphic but have yet to photograph anyone with the Arca Swiss.

That's a nice 4x5, I made one about 50 years ago, still have the plans, but the camera got crushed in a move!
As to my wives, my first wife grew rapidly after our marriage, my ex only posed if I gave her the negs so they went by the wayside! You certainly have some nice cameras!
I repaired Pentax 6X7 cameras as a sideline so I was into the medium size, had a nice Hassleblad (sp) but sold it when I got into Pentaxes.
I shoot older Nikons now and have a nice camera collection, shoot with a D200 which I bought new, has 186'000 clicks on it, do all my own repairs. Pushing 83 now so I don't get out much anymore, that's why I depend on you guys for nice photos!! Keep in touch,
Dick

Bob, this work is an example of when "incorrect" is "correct."
Interesting effect and brings to mind the old art of silhouette cutters that would display and sell their ability to see and cut. When I was young they would make the rounds of 5 and Dime stores and people would stand in line for a quick silhouette,
https://www.roving-artist.com/I know exactly what you’re talking about - my wife & I still have a set from the state fair from when we were newly weds. {Fantastic Artist!}
This piece looks a lot like an experiment that I did in a darkroom with a topless model & a table lamp. I never was satisfied with them because the b&w’s were never “clean”. Either underexposed in shooting or overexposed in developing. (Both mine & this.)
I like the subject matter, but I can’t agree with the others about the lighting. The placement is fine, but needs more to get out of the dingy greys.
Minor point - the shadow by the nipple makes it look collapsed. Either angle the breast away or bring the light forward.
Keep having fun!
Cheers!
Interesting stidy good job with light.
I really like the creativity/lighting.
A truly beautiful image, Bob.
