The Schnetzler Vortex

The Schnetzler Vortex

At September’s workshop, Manu and Greta Schnetzler wanted their portrait done using this gigantic sci-fi movie prop.  Done with a minimum of equipment, this set up was colossally difficult, made worse by this being a very tight space (the camera was right against a trailer and the space was closed in on both sides leaving [...]
