Ally Fane works across formats to photograph her muse Taya. The first portrait uses a Toyo 45G with Fujifilm X-ray film, producing a high-contrast studio shot. The obstructions add tension to an otherwise clean composition. The second image is an SX-70 Polaroid with Polaroid Originals film, saturated in magenta and purple tones with heavy softness that dissolves facial details into color. The third moves to a Graflex with Polaroid 665 negative film, shot outdoors with a blurred urban backdrop and sharp focus on the subject.
Fane tests different materials and approaches with a single subject. Each frame treats Taya differently: obstructed, abstracted, direct. The technical variety keeps the work from settling into a single aesthetic.
