The Pacific Northwest

[Vieri]

Hello everyone, and apologies for the long absence - I have been extremely busy these last months, both with the usual stuff and especially with the preparations for a new step in my photographic journey: going back to analog, and in particular to 4x5" black & white photography. I have been working exclusively with this setup for the last month during our fall Workshop season, and I am loving it! But, results will start to be ready next year when I'll be back home and will be able to develop, scan and process the film.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share my latest developed Portfolio, shot last year with my Phase One IQ4 Achromatic and Alpa 12 STC and dedicated to the Pacific Northwest of the USA! The Portfolio is over 60 photographs strong, here's a few photographs for you:

You'll find the rest on my website, here: https://www.vieribottazzini.com/2024/09/the-pacific-northwest-a-portfolio.html

Comments are as always very welcome. Enjoy! Best regards,

Vieri

Hey Vieri,

It's awesome to have you posting again! You have been missed. Your work is always so inspiring.

I will enjoy your journey back to film. These images here are world class!

I will come back to these again later today to enjoy them more and maybe pick some favorites.

Gorgeous set, Vieri! A very different take on some classic sets. I particularly like the driftwood in the foreground of #2. Multnomah Falls & Smith Rock look nicely foreboding.

Stunning B&W work Vieri. A lot of very familiar scenes I have shot many times but you have given me some new ideas for my next visits to these locations.

Hey Jim, thanks for your comment, it's great to be here! I have been real busy, so much so that I pretty much stopped posting anywhere - but, I lurked and kept looking at the forum from time to time. Thanks for the kind words, I am happy you enjoyed the series!

Hey Monika, thank you for your comment, happy you liked the series! That driftwood was huge, something around 6 feet if my meter-to-feet math is correct, but it had so much character - and, driftwood itself is such a strong, defining presence all along the PNW coast that I even thought about doing a series dedicated just to it...

Stunning B&W work Vieri. A lot of very familiar scenes I have shot many times but you have given me some new ideas for my next visits to these locations.

Hey Alan, thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the series! Honoured if my work serves as food for thought!

Best regards,

Vieri
