How to shoot badly on purpose... how can a make an image like this one? I'm shooting large format 4x5 film in the studio. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/giddygen/k08.jpg

That is a "Photoshop" job. You have to use some editing program (like Helicon Filer free) to achieve this. In Helicon Filter: remove all saturation in the colors tab, in the brightness tab, reduce contrast and make it a little "too bright". Then go to the retouching tab, use the erase changes brush set to ~80% intensity and feather the brush, then brush over the edges. Then, use the saturation brush to re-de-saturate the areas you brushed over.

It would be that or I would even say the photographer put a silk scarf or something like that over the lens and shot the subject with a flash, thus the vignetting around the sides. so either that or photoshop most definitely.

Also, if you are shooting 4x5 I presume you have more or less regular access to a darkroom for processing and printing. Experiment with localized burning in of certain areas of the print and see what you can acheive on your own.

That could easily not be a photoshop job. Could be a flash light aimed at the lens for flare. Could be done in printing. Could be an accident when developing the film. Having the negatives stuck together on the reel during developing makes white patches. However it was done, doesn't do much for the picture.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Greg on this one. Could just as easily be Photoshop as non-Photoshop.
