It's kind of comical that at one point it was acceptable to contrast out so much detail, but I was only following the norm at the time. I was home-printing in those days, too, and I'm sure I used the darkest filter possible to get this effect. Ilford paper (always), but I don't remember what grade.
I used an Olympus OM-1, a long lens, "always on" lighting, and a home-made reflector box to do head shots from a little apartment I had in Phoenix, AZ. I did this one of myself by setting the timer and running into place. Totally lucky shot, because I could only guess what part of my head would be in focus depending on how I was leaning. I love the semi-shallow depth of field, and I wish I remembered what lens I was using. I met lots of interesting aspiring models and actors, MOST of whom were also good to work with. Pageant moms were the worst by far.
