2.6 - "Solid" 

Bridal fashion advertising shoot. Shot on Polaroid Type 55 Pos/Neg film using Calumet 4x5 camera (1980s) with Schneider 150mm lens (bought new in 1995). All natural light capture of fashion model cooperating with the unwieldy process. The negative from the Type 55 carries a good amount of sharpness and dynamic range. The neg was processed in sodium sulfite to remove the developing gel. Once dry I had a high resolution scan made at my film processing lab preserving the iconic film edge.

I love the backlight and the fact that you still preserved all of the shadow detail. The fact that it's on Type 55 and has that awesome edge is just icing on the wedding cake. Great image!
