Thanks, I'm inclined to agree The panoramic was just a crop I liked from a wider shot.

And thanks Prin for the UA

Has nobody mentioned 'Jupiter' yet ?!

I do like these, I reckon large prints of these images would make beautiful artworks.

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.

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.

Makes me think of the film out at the moment - 127 Hours.

Nice, like the soft balance between natural and artificial light. Could use a little distortion correction I think. You might get a few more lights on on a weekday, too Sounds like an interesting project, look forward to more.

I was also out in London yesterday doing some personal work for the first time in ages. The afternoon/early eveing light was fantastic, although I managed to find myself on a train when the sky was at it's most spectacular...

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..)
