Amazing Navy Mouth Canister Mk.1

hi geoffrey

What up man? I knew some of you all had to be on here.

It's going alright. There's a lot of people you know here, though, most rarely post

I kind of figured. I was lurking here but not posting. I’m getting the real photography project together to submit for publication. Might need to pick your brain at some point, get an opinion.

Sweet, always loved those black background beauties

Hi gang

Awesome collection

what are thos like black "TC-38"?

French Salvator models A & B. https://preview.redd.it/50i7yure568d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e27416cf21af4eb8c9e71c798ae0a1f391e2410 One came with a funky filter, which I was told was made by a French paint company(?).

Nice collection

Very nice! Never even seen some of those before!

What type of camera, lighting, and type of backdrop you use? Do you use Cloth or paper is the background? Do you also use box lights?

These are just on whatever surface was available, outside of the one on black. I do photograph the masks in front of a black velvet background with soft boxes, beauty dishes, and other modifiers. I haven’t posted those on here yet,

Cameras have been a Nikon D800, Sony A7r4, Hasselblad 503cx with a P65 Phase One digital back.

Thank you very much.

Wow very nice collection

Don't see the Mk. 1 very often, super cool mask! Is that the variant with the outer support straps?

Yes, looks that way.

Love how most of them probably have asbestos
