"Looking into the lens" Film Ilford 400 ISO and a camera Minolta manual with a 50 mm and 100 mm lenses. The models have been illuminated by means of two simple strip lights 100 W each. The subdued lighting made it necessary to increase the number of ISO in the camera, to a higher level ( mainly to 6400 ISO ) By this way the film was underexposed during the shooting and then it was overdeveloped.
