Harold Edgerton Reproduction

[stevo104]

As my last official assignment for school I reproduced a Harold Edgerton image. Edgerton invented the flashtube and was the forerunner of modern flash and color photography, his original images of bullets going through apples, cards or baloons are timeless.

This project was shot with a TOYO 4x4 view camera, with a 210 lens using 4x5 Fuji 100f Transparency Film. Proving that photoshop (however wonderful) is not always necessary.
