| Portraits of Swindon Artscape Artists by Mark Pope | |||||
|
These portraits were taken as part of a collaborative exercise by a group of portrait photographers studying with Boo Beaumont at the University of Bath in Swindon. They are hanging in an exhibition that runs from 1st to 30th September in the Harlequin Bar at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. All of the portraits are of artists who participated in the Swindon Artscape Open Studios weekends that were held as part of an annual Arts festival in the town. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph six artists. For those of you interested in the technical details, I used a Leica M6TTL rangefinder camera, 21mm, 28mm and 50mm lenses. The film was Ilford HP5 plus, rated at EI320 and developed in ID11 1:3. The prints were made on Ilford Multigrade IV warmtone paper and were lightly toned in Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner.
