That 120 film in my Hasselblads showed every little detail. To have flawless features was a real blessing. Many used a soft focus filter to hide facial features rather than do a retouch, which was done with pencil lead and a magnifying lens.
I was doing three-quarter length photographs to full length of her. That’s what was called for there was no close-ups unfortunately. She would do a change sometimes between each number. Also other people were added into the photographs as a grip and grin. Not being able to talk to her just made it very difficult at times. Not quite as spontaneous. But at the end of the day it all worked.
