| View Full Version : Rocky Schenck John Simmons 04-03-2006, 12:30 AM Is anyone familiar with the work of Rocky Schenck? I would like to know about the techniques used by him to achieve these effects. Here is a link to some of his work for you review http://paulkopeikingallery.com/artists/schenck/index.htm Thanks, John Donald Miller 04-03-2006, 01:22 AM John, If I were to hazard a guess I would say that this is all done in the printing. The appearance reminds me of a split grade print in which diffusion is used in a part of the hard exposure. Beyond that some quite noticeable edge burning and high contrast. But then again, this may be the second time that I have been wrong today.

When I looked it his images, my response was Holga?? clay 04-03-2006, 10:23 AM I read an interview with him in Camera Arts two years ago. He shoots everything with a 35mm Nikon SLR, and then does extensive darkroom manipulation including diffusion, bleaching and all other sorts of orange-light legerdemain. Cool stuff, isn't it? |
