Jeffery,

I developed in Xtol, 1:1 for 10 minutes.

What helped here is that I used the film latitude, or lack of latitude, to
create an effect.

I don't have lights. I would like to, but I don't have any. I have a few
tricks to make do with available light. Window light, coming from the side,
usually makes for nice portraits:

I wanted a dark background, to neutralize it.

I asked Rebecca to stand on the threshold of the open door leading from our
living room to our backyard and I metered for that positon, of course.

The light from the door drops off rapidly in the room and it recedes into
dark in a hurry.

The contrast between the correct exposure on the threshold and the
underexposure in the room helps to create the nice effect.

It's something similar to this one, when it comes to exposure:

That one was also Xtol and Agfapan APX 400.

Thanks for asking!
Daniel
