Emil Schildt... and Haleh Bryan
Emil Schildt is one of my favourite photographers. It's very hard to describe his work. Let's say... If the idea of beautiful sepia-toned pregnant naked goddesses in fairy-tale half-darkness does it for you, it's worth a look. It's not all like that. He does single portraits as well. I love this one, which was taken with a Diana F toy camera - not something he uses very often, though. It's an exquisitely beautiful photo. Just enough light to see, not enough light to see. Perfect. Here's the whole gallery.
He has also a gallery on photo.net (where else?) and another on a Danish site that I can't pronounce. The content is much the same but arranged differently - the Danish site might be easier if you use a modem.
If you like Emil Schildt, you might also like this p'net folder by Haleh Bryan, which is a bit... well... brighter than Emil's work and somewhat more middle-eastern, in tone. Have a look and if you like it, then click Haleh's name at the top of the screen for more. There's quite a lot more, so it could take a while on a slow connection.
Neither of these photographers uses toy cameras much. I just happen to like them and it's a vaguely Holga-sepia-arty-6x6 look.
Lunchtime! :-)
