Looking for climbers for photography project

[redphotog]

I'm a photographer and professor at a college in Louisville Kentucky. I am currently working on a photography project where I'll be photographing rock climbers using an old 1800's era wet plate camera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collodion_process). These will be individual portraits before or after your climb...I don’t want to bother you while you are onsite to climb. The portraits will be part of a photography exhibit at another college in Louisville in October and I'm hoping to produce a small run art book in the future. I will definitely be set up at Miguel’s on the upcoming weekends that I'm free and maybe other locations as well. If you would be interested please contact me thru the forum to let me know when you will be visiting the gorge to climb so we can set up a time to meet. Each person I photograph will receive an archival quality paper print of the portrait I make of them.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to photographing you

That sounds really cool. When will you be down there exactly in October?

[redphotog]

thanks for your interest milspecmark. I will be there in October as well, but any images I take at that time will be for later exhibitions and the book. Will you be there in October?

Looks like I will be down Saturday and Sunday this week and I'll be set up at Land of the Arches campground. Please stop by if you would like to have your image made or even to see what’s up and talk. I'll be the one with the huge old wooden camera..LOL Can’t wait to start making images, should be interesting!
