New, b/w pics..... thank you for looking.

Tremendous shots!

IMHO, with the onset of digital, many are so busy trying to get the 'perfect photo' that it 'seems the most important parts are missing. The moment and the emotion. I fall for it too. Not sure if this is digital or film as it doesn't really matter. Either way . . . great photos you captured a moment AND an emotion . . whether it were staged or not, I 'feel' something when I see these and that makes s a great photo to me.
 
USM = Unsharp Mask

Are you using Photoshop for this? And would you mind a quick outline step by step of what you do in post processing?
alle these one are done with 17-35mm f/3,2
then greyscale, contrast curves in PS, and sharpening in PS...
best regards Stefan

I've looked at these images over and over, trying to come up with some feedback that has not already been given. I can't come up with anything new. All I can say is that they are wonderful images, and they have inspired me to improve my own craft. I love non-smiling portraits, but they sure seem to disturb a lot of people. These images remind me of the work of American photographer Walker Evans in the 1930s, which is classic stuff. Thanks for the inspiration .

A strong instinct for survvival
Romanticaly insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain
Manipulated rebels
With a total misregard for the rules
...
You move closer to the truth

Looking again I understand what I like in your shot

It's the time suspended!!!
I will think about it

Cheers

Hello Pete, yes I use USM... in PS

1. if needed light and white balance in NC3 (save as jpg in 3000x.....

2. if necesary some cleanings in 3000x...... then convert it into 800x... for the net
3. kontrast, tonal range curve and USM in PS

thats all, best regards Stefan

And yet such powerful images. I suspect a lot of the power comes from the original aquisition, your lighting is superior on both subject and background.
