Rock Detail by Consulo
Has nobody mentioned 'Jupiter' yet ?!
I do like these, I reckon large prints of these images would make beautiful artworks.- 16 Mar 2011 2:45PM

It's nice to see someone uploading some work to EPZ with a more authentic, contemporary feel, even if it's the sort of thing that goes down like a lead balloon here. It looks like a bit of a departure for you looking at your portfolio, your previous work looks a bit more 'flashy', with the angles, lighting, processing etc., much more 'EPZ-ish', but this stuff is more genuine IMO. It's funny, you see a lot of this elsewhere but it looks unusual here, shows what sort of photographers EPZ tends to attract.
I notice that here and with others in the series comparisons have been made with Martin Parr, I don't think that's really the right comparison. This is straight deadpan documentary portraiture more in the style of Alec Soth, Albrecht Tubke (first 2 names into my head) and a myriad other deadpan portrait photographers. It's not really a style I associate with Parr (that's directed more at the people who keep bringing him up than you).
Keep it up, EPZ needs more of this.- 17 Feb 2011 11:45AM

Geology Study by Consulo
Thanks Michael, looks great, and I bet the full size file is amazing.
I like the way there are no clues as to the scale, it could be 50mm or 50 miles wide, like an aerial shot of a desert or another planet.
I've been busy flogging a few things this week and should be getting a Mamiya 7 next week (I'm so excited, I can't tell you how long I've lusted after one!), so I'm planning on doing a lot more film work and will be in need of a decent scanning service myself. I'll definitely give this guy a go.- 11 Feb 2011 4:54PM

agree with Griffo, I'm also not normally a fan of the Lensbaby, find it too gimmicky but you have made it work very effectively in this. There's just enough to make it a bit different and 'not seen that before'. Nice one. (Does kind of look like his head's on fire, though..)- 28 Jan 2011 9:47AM

Fallen Leaves by Consulo
Perhaps what it needs is a slightly higher, more downward-pointing viewpoint that retains the simplicity of composition and the full aspect ratio. I like the complementary blue and red tones in the image.
(as an aside.. now that the images open up large by default, on a small screen you now have to make them small to do a crop comparison like this so you can see the full image properly, which seems a little backward!)- 24 Jan 2011 10:58AM

Been waiting for this before deciding whether to go this route or D850. It looks great. My first thought was also 'only one card slot'. £600 for a 50mm 1.8 is a bit rich as well.- 23 Aug 2018 11:03AM

I found a great quote today, which could have been written about Bert:
"Good photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field."
This portfolio shows how to bring together emotion, observation and intellect along with a love of classic quality equipment and materials, to just make very good, original photography.- 22 May 2008 6:58PM

Just been having a look through your portfolio. Very creative and distinctive. Are you a fan of Jerry Uelsman's work? I can see some influence in there. I also see that you seem to combine film photography and digital work superbly, I love to see people without blinkers on!

Your portfolio brings back a lot of memories of my time in Australia 5 years ago. Some good stuff in there. I'd love to go back now that I've learnt a bit more about photography!
