Projected transparency photograph of scratched metal, projected onto subject, rephotographed onto medium format negative film, hand-printed in the darkroom, and flatbed scanned.
I took these photographs when I was 16 years-old. Now that I’m almost three times that age, they seem like curious pictures for a 16 year-old.
They were the first photographs I ever took that other people wanted. I was often asked to make reprints of them. I learned that there’s a difference between people liking a picture, and people *wanting a picture.
I decided to produce a set of nudes, which I had never done before. I went to a bar, and saw two strangers that I liked.
I asked them if I could take nude photographs of them together, and they agreed. Before I met them in the studio, I walked about my home town, photographing textured surfaces; rusty metal, walls, anything that took my fancy; I asked a butcher if I could photograph the inside of a cow, and he agreed.
I used transparency film slides so I could project these images onto my nudes. (This was before the days of photoshop.) The final result was fixed the moment the shutter was released.
