Leica M - Post your Portraits

I have not taken a portrait of someone who asked, or I at least knew, for years but if I were to, I would use my Leica CL with a Zeiss 50mm and go for available light, b/w, indoors with a reflector near a window, in the subject's own surroundings. That is a real portrait for me.

Then again, I would probably choose my 6x6 Rolleiflex 80mm or Bronica 150mm over a M for such a job.

Whatever camera, it would be on Fuji 100 Acros exposed at 200 and pushed a in Rodinal for deep blacks.

You have reminded me that I want to do a set of a watchmaker up the road. I must ask him one day soon. Luckily I have a couple of broken watches so I can bargain with him.

Love everyone's portrait shots

Love everyone's portrait shots

Greeting from new comer. I love everyone's portrait shots here, they're beautiful. I love mostly because I can feel the relationship between the photographer and the subjects in the images. Love the family portraits especially, just simply beautiful and very touching.:):):)
 
Great portraits on the last pages!

Renzsu these head on shots on famous and not so famous people are very cool!

These two are great!

I didn't post much photos, as work, bla, bla, bla ;-)

Just finished another scanning solution design and finished a few rolls scanning (scanning tethered right into Adobe Lightroom is sooooo cool).

Here is one of the three rolls, that really makes me ask, why all the pains with digital, when a simple dirty JPG from scanning TriX without post just looks natural.
