Fashion Portraits on Medium Format Film // Mamiya RB67
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2020
- I've never done a fashion portrait session before on medium format film, so here's my first video on that road! Growing up, I've seen tons of designer photographers use Hasselblad's and other higher end cameras. The fact that I'm shooting on a medium format film camera is, yes, an experience anyone can have, but one that allows me to really feel like those designer professionals from back in the day. I'm no established artist in that industry yet, but it was fun being able to practice it with good friends
Portra 400 and Fuji Pro 400H were used in this video.

It was so great to be outside again for an outdoor shoot! Look out for more of these, but definitely gonna try to do one fully on Fuji Pro 400H
Hi! men I would like to know what type of fonts (typography) you use for the thumbnails of your videos
I am a simple man, I see Mamiya RB67 in the title... I click.
A tool built for champions
"You can look at the back of my Hyundai" is the most underrated joke of 2020
Nothing better than the feeling when you think to yourself "I wonder when Chris is gonna upload another vid".
Notification pops :)
ayyyy, my man!
This might be my fav vid of yours so far. and them shots be lookin' fllyyyyy my dude.
thank you thank you!!!
Chris Chu of course dude! It’s dope seeing people give the RB some luv
Love everything! The sea series are my fave 💫
Fire video as always man, love it!!!!
It makes me feel like "lets go out and shoot"
one of my favorite up and coming film youtubers, keep it up
Wow, thanks!
Dang, those were really good shots! I love seeing the behind the scenes of photoshoots.
Amazing portraits! And the behind the scenes is so well shot too 👌
thanks, bro!
You are the most underrated photography channel on TH-cam imo. Sick vid mate!
Legend! I really appreciate that, being underrated is actually such a high compliment
Subscribed, thank you so much for the beautiful music, instead of looping lofi in the background for 10 minutes 😭 Photos were great! I love the atmosphere you created.
beach shots came out really nice! I think the blown highlights on the dress work here
i like the thought that goes into shooting with film. more intentional that digital camera . great video !
Wow. Can't wait to get out and shoot! Glad I found this channel
let's goooo!! Get out there!
Beautiful work. The tones you created on the beach with p4H were sick 🤟
yess another fan of Pro 400H
great stuff dude. these medium format photos look sick!
Glad you like them! more to come!
BANGER
Amazing pictures! I really liked the sea series :)
I love to shoot in medium format! And film photography has that tones, textures and colors that are so beautiful!
The texture and colors are sooo different. I really understand that "digital look" that people talk about now, and although it doesn't bother me like others may feel, I can definitely see the difference and I really like it
@@whoschrischu Soooo diferent for sure! I love digital too but film will always get my heart! And if you shoot film constantly there's no way you can't see the difference!
Thank's for the answer man!!
great vibes here, nice photos!
Killer content man keep it up!!
So dope 😭🔥
Wowie 👏
Really luv this channel and Content creator! Keep it up!!!
So good! Hope you make more videos like this
Thank you! Will do!
I would be obsessed with that camera! I love how the photos turned out!!
You should totally invest in the Mamiya RB/RZ system. The glass selection is unreal sharp, plus rotating back....cmoooon
@@whoschrischu Can't argue with that! Haha!
Vibes Are on Fire
Hi Man, great video! When you say you're metering for the highlights, do you mean the brightest part of the frame or the brightest part of the subjects face? Also what are you using to meter? Thanks!
Hi from France! Awesome video! This camera is a tool for sure, built for success! I have a question about the film. You marked that it was overexposed +1 stop, but how do you process it in the lab? at 400 or at 200 ISO? Thanks for the great content, it is a pleasure to watch it!
Love the video bro, where'd you get those amazing film transitions from at around 4:05 ?
Your sense of lighting on film is soo on point
awww thanks, bro!!
Love it! I shoot on my RB as well - Obsessed w ur videos, hopefully I can make some like yours some day :)
Okay seriously love the music also! Where did you get it? The first one?
Just found your channel 😍 your work and videos are amazing
you’re so inspiring
you're one of the players that helped get me there
My man back at it again.
Never dissapointed with your content
But yes.
Join us film photography bois
I want to be a cool film boi
@@whoschrischu I bee leaf in you señor
Great vid! what lens(es) did you use in this video?
4:40 💙 I'm gonna shamelessly steal that pose
doooo ittt!!!!
You should think about scanning with your dslr with a macro and using negative lab pro to convert - you'll have a lot more control to mess around with your film images after.
Great portraits man! Definitely feel inspired to keep shooting + post videos on my channel!
let's goooo!!!!
You should definitely check with your lab if they are able to provide TIF-files or 16-Bit JPEGs, since that format does exist by now. It would be a shame to waste all the money for Portra and then get only 8-Bit JPEGs! But the good thing is, that you still got the negatives and send them to a different lab, in case they f'ed it up in the first instance.
one note on the 'outro', the piece sign is with the PALM FACING US!!, the way you did it, looks like a (discrete) rude finger!!, as the hand is facing the SAME way!!
2:35 was very nice, chill vibes and not too posed👌
oh yeah, that was def one of my faves.
Very good pictures: I am interested on buying a RB67 but I have heard this model has a lot of mechanical troubles so you must take it to repair frecuently , is it true? does it worth it? thx
How were those beach ones so bright? The lighting looks so dark! Was it lighter than it looks on video? These are so good, your channel is really great
video uses longer shutter speeds and higher isos usually
If you ask for .tiff files you can do a lot with those images. It’s basically like a .raw file. Fyi and the image is flatter so you can color it your way !
for sure, will definitely do that next time
I find that success rate is either held to a standard for exposure, or is very subjective and based on how we feel about the images. I don't know if a true success rate is achievable without bias.
Lab scans are usually pretty high contrast, I guarantee you that all that highlight detail is all there on the film.
Hey what lenses were used during this shoot!
Very nice images. I'd like to try medium format but I'm kinda lost between the various Mamiya and Pentax options (Hasselblad would be too expensive)
I highly recommend the Mamiya setup (no bias) because of its lens choices. Greatest go-around Mamiya is the Mamiya 7, and the RB/RZ system are incredible for portraits (no bias)
@@whoschrischu Thanks Chris
What are you using to meter? +1 stop doesn’t change much of anything on Portra or 400H. Some of these look like +4. Worth noting that a lot of labs aren’t properly creating ICC look up tables and the color correction is left to their own interpretation. Get flat scans from the lab, don’t let them apply any sort of contrast, saturation, or tonal curves. The difference between an 8 bit JPG and 14 bit TIFF is nominal on a nice flat scan. Or just pick up a V600 and do it yourself. Medium format scans are a breeze even on flatbeds.
yeah I overexposed by +1 stop and I metered for highlights. Definitely gonna try out TIFF's in my next scans
i hit like n its 1k ... what a timing
That dab tho😂🔥🔥
I only showed 2 out of a million in that little snippet. Imagine seeing it in real time
Wow shout out
Did You overexposed the shot itself or u asked the lab to overexpose the process? Lovely work mate
I overexposed 1 stop on every light reading (exposed for highlights), and it was blown out. It's definitely possible that it was my fault haha
First😀
was wondering what lens you were using!
Mamiya K/L 90mm f/3.5!
fuji 400H looks good on asian skin
It's time to do your own scanning with a DSLR & negative lab pro maybe. Those photos on the beach were sick. Wouldn't want to leave it all up to the lab
4:03
NOTHING TO SEE THERE!
You should do a pro photographer, cheap camera challenge I think it’d be fun lol
that is one of the quintessential videos that all YT photographers must do haha
How did you know to overexpose by one stop? Or was that just an experiment. I’m trying to learn 😁
07:30
that's the reason I scan the film myself nowadays, actually.
interesting 🍷
shout-outs for the cameraman !
YOU’RE INSANE
nah, son! JUST GETTING WARMED UP
Good vibes, film, and my man is part of the thicc thighs crew, just what I like to see
call me Thicc Thigh Theodore
Thumbs up for the quick maths 🤣
What camera was this video shot with?
Canon EOS R!
song??
Contact your lab for tiff files if you can pay for higher resolution! Maybe you could invest $180 for a v550 scanner and scan it to have a higher resolution!
Hi do you develop negs and scan them,🎉th en digitise them
And do you then print them from the computer,like a digital camera photo ,or do you old school print them ??
Thanks John😎
I’m obsessed with this song! Can someone help me out? I’ve searched it everywhere but no luck :(
The first song! It’s so cute!
U mind doing a tutorial on how to pose people aren't models on a normal day??
oh I definitely will :)
First song?
It’s called “Control by Josh Gilligan” found it on MUSICBED
@@isaacjaimes6757 TY!! Finally found the song in 4month 🥺
yes, at 8:12 there is a difference if a lab does it, as they assume N = 0 development, ALL the time, if you say NOTHING, and if you over exposed, probably an under development might have been a good thing ?( N - 1 {stop}; N-2); one other way is to say it to the lab, by saying you "exposed this at iso xxxx ", being the 1 or 2 stops over exposed you did ie: if one stop, and BOX speed is 100, then say I metered this @ 200 then they "get it", and do the right thing, KNOWING what YOU did on the camera!!- and that it was INTENTIONAL, not an 'amateur' mistake with your metering!! ( that is to adjust the contrast of the scene in front of you, the light that fell on it, so as NOT to get a flat photo, but one that 'pop's' ).
good shoot, and nice model 🙂 but two errors in the first 5 minutes, that I noticed, first, you didn't wind_on properly, NOT only one cycle of the film winding handle, takes 5 or 6 to allign the first frame (number 1); second error, at aprox 5 minute mark, beach shoot, you have the "multi-exposure mode ON!- you CAN multi expose with this switch this way, the "safety system" is OFF, the shutter WILL fire regardless if you wind on or NOT; however, if the RED dot is COVERED, the shutter will NOT fire, unless a wind-on occurs ( red 1/2 marker on film back goes away)- this is a Second warning flag, to say "you are in iminent danger of double exposing this shot!!" so be careful, this is a MANUAL camera and every step matters, and is crutial to getting a good shot.
Its weird that I know the model in real life.
You mean *lifestyle portraits
124th view
ugh, my favorite 124th viewer
most likely your scans were not properly handled. Rescan your negatives and see what you get
yeah it really seems that way, I'm gonna re-scan them for sure, plus get TIFF's too next time
Not sure why you had her put her hands up in front of her face at 4:35 . Thats just really awkward and unnatural. No one walks around like that.
