Welcome to another episode of Film vs Digital challenge, but this time with medium format in mind. Today, I challenge Reggie Ballesteros and his Fuji GFX 100S with my Hasselblad H1 or Fuji GX645. Reggie is a Fujifilm ambassador + wedding photographer, so his skills are to be reckoned with. 2 Photographers will shoot the same model @seemaraman and see which medium stands the test of time.

Thank you for having me! What an honor! Both of you are some of the kindest and coolest photographers that I’ve worked with.
You're the best!! We both loved working with you!
What a lovely model you are. Thanks for joining in.
FILM!! as always. The digital looked crisp and full of detail, rich in color and contrast and present. But, film transcended to another place, it was never real to the eye and that's what makes it desirable, just magical. Great work from both of you guys though, great pioneers for both formats. Keep 'em coming.
Couldn't agree more! Tysm
So good dudes! Loved both of y’all’s takes! Hard to beat the color on some of your frames, Chris, but definitely think Reggie showed up with some 🔥 comps as well! 🙌
man I always enjoy so much your energy and your mood. Sometimes I´m having a bad day and it´s just as simpler as watch some of your videos!
I prefer the film color rendition when not in mixed light. The digital handled the mixed lighting better... The film created more of a mood, while the digital looked very clean which could also be a bit sterile for some purposes... Great shots by both.
Such a great idea and production ! Exactly what i wanted to see ! I am a 100s shooter but i think the film is really nice ! I think maybe 100s just provides that easy of workflow , but film for sure has that magic color ! Love both ! Awesome job guys !
both are the winners
So freakin good. Love this series
thanks, GENE!
as a Hybrid shooter myself (GFX and P67, Hassy) i loved both, but ultimately film wins for me.
I’m appreciating this masterclass on posing tho 🔥🔥🔥
I feel like we could've both done better on posing. It's tough in a competition setting
Nice photos! I really enjoyed watching this kind of video of yours 🙌
Thanks so much! 😊
THIS IS AMAZING! TWO OF MY FAVS... IN THE SAME VIDEO!
Reggie is THE MAN
well 1, the Hasselblad film looks so clean, its hard to tell that it was film but the main take away is not the film vs digital but just see two photographer's approach and style of portrait photography.
Both awesome...Reggie...just too solidly good
Nice to see you both shooting together!
The film image at 4:14 is stunning! Colors and tones are just so rich. The shot on the left at 4:32 rocks as well. Long live film!
The film looked a lot better! I also enjoyed your posing more chris, good job boi! Both did great!
Thanks a ton!
I think Chris wins just cause he had the funniest moment during the video 😂 - the sound of money going down the drain.
Rest In Peace, Portra. That felt like a shot to the chest too
@@whoschrischu I have a Portra roll with your name on it sitting in my office.
You both did great on this shoot. But I'm gonna be biased because I am a Fujifilm shooter and I'll go with Reggie 😅😅😂. I love both of y'alls images. Great job!
dang it...
@@whoschrischu just messing with you 😅😅
Beautiful set, beautiful camera and a beautiful video 😤
Thank you very much!!!
Great video! More videos with the H1
GFX shooter one this one all day… Blowout in the first round, the second was closer tho.
FILM, ALL day long!!!, but Chris, how did you stop any flare from ruining your shots, I just did some city shots around my home town with a 500c\m and 180/80 mm lenses, near a river, but all of them got a lot of flare in them, is it the case you have to use a lens hood All the time?, or ND filters?, or what would you suggest.
one other tip Chris, Hasselblads (H or V system) don't have a shutter lock H's can be turned off; so ALWAYS keep the darkslide ON (for H, with the camera turned on), RED dot in the window,or IN (for V) until the instant of shooting, this is your "firearm trigger safety" as the shutter will NOT go off, until this is removed, as the whole system is interlocked for film safety. (for the V system this is ultra important, when adding or removing the cable release!, as it is on the Trigger itself, and it is SO SO easy to nudge this, and set off the shutter by mistake!).
Reggie murdered it in the first roun. His composition and lighting choices were fire!
Seema is beautiful. I’m biased toward images showing more environment for fashion. I personally think the lenses that were used were a little too short in focal length for closeups of the face. When there were strong sun light spots on the model’s dress as the model is standing by the door, maybe popping a fill flash would help to capture all the details of those bright spots instead of having them blown out? It will be interesting to experiment. Seema seemed to have a little bit tendency of lowering her chin. It’s up to the photographers to keep remind her to chin up a little to show her confidence. Just my two cents. Art is very subjective though. I can see you two are having fun shooting, that’s the most important. Thanks for sharing!
This
Quite likes the close, wide shot from up high though (on digital).
I can't choose. I saw great work from the both of you.
I prefer the film photos as they have a dream like quality to them. Thank you
I'm more of a film shooter, but really can't pick between the two. Both were excellent. My only thought is that the digital might have had a bit too much detail for female portrait photography though. Would love to hear a bit more of your analysis/ opinion of the two. Well done to both.
I think the film looks more aesthetically pleasing, but as you commented at the end of your video, the focus kinda brought it down a notch. I liked Reggie's photos a lot, the lighting, and his compositions, but the 'super crisp/see every pore and strand of hair' aspect of digital is something i'm not a big fan of...so i'm gonna make it a draw....heh
Agree with you there. Fashion and portrait editing is something I’m still not used to. Especially with the gfx. Even with - clarity and - texture adjustment it was too crisp. I contemplated using a 10% diffusion filter snd regret not going for it haha
Round 1: Reggie wins
Round 2: Chris wins
dang 1:1
I would say you were both winners in that you were able to capture her beauty from different perspectives. That said, Chris your close-up portraits especially those utilising the reflections of the windows were your best shots. They were clean and sharp. I think Reggie got good photos overall but where he got you was with the environmental and full-body photos, the colour rendering in my view was better. The film shoots were too warm, given the colour of the walls and her skin tone. They seemed to blend too much as opposed to providing contrast and separation. Those are minor subjective details on my part.
All and all, you were both having fun and doing this shoot on the fly. Under more controlled studio conditions I think the results would have favoured the film medium format. Keep shining.
I will say this is the closest I've seen digital get to 645 as far as tonal range. Other than the focus issues, I preferred the look of the Portra shots over digital. Did you shoot the Portra at 800? If so, I think the digital shots should have been at 800 as well. :P. The only other thing I can really call out is that the GFX lens has almost too much micro-contrast for female portraits...Tonal range and colors to film, micro-detail to digital (not really a win here tho), but I must say, you each had some really amazing shots. LOVE your shots thru the window!
I mean film is usually color temperture graded so it's harder to edit if its in mixed light usually you should make a test shot with a white balance card or color checker. The video was cool its kinda hard to compare because both had such great results
If you want accuracy you go digital. If you want some other type of look filmy go with film. It's a personal preference. With digital you can adjust to look like film, not the other way around. Same with CD vs vinyl records, accuracy is digital; some other type of so called warm sound or whatever go with vinyl. All user preference. Years ago when digital was in its infancy I'd have a different opinion, but not today. Newer isn't always better but in some cases it is and I've been around long enough to see and hear it. But again, whatever floats your boat.
As Tarantino states it, digital artists are spending hours on post processing to make it look like film and with todays technology it’s getting close, similar to a veggie burger. Also, vinyls offers a warm sound but other than that digital music are superior in most cases, not the same with film vs digital. As digital offers an instant gratification, and ease of use, film are superior in color rendering, resolution, dynamic range, grain (compared to digital noise) and don’t forget the variety of formats.
Nice wholesome content. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
v wholesome
Both were so good. Honestly didnt see a lot of difference when I didnt pay attention who was shooting. So for me its a tie! 😄👌🏻
sheeeeeeesh
You both done well 👍👍👍
nice challange, but Chris, you should have used the 100 or 120 macro lens on the H1 as this can go to f2.2 so you could keep up with the fuji (as these can go to f1.7 or 2.8), so you could make sure if Reggie went "bokeh" you could go BONKERS BOKEH!! as the MF with these macro lens options can really show off the dof this system can offer, and you could have really blown the background, esp. with the model indoors, and this would have KO'd the competition!!
1:34 - Sus lol
You just earned a sub from me because of the beautiful images you both took.
Too hard to choose between the two
The both are generally very good. I prefer the look of film myself. if you want a real challenge, shoot positive film. No post possible when shooting slides, its either perfect or trash the second you pull the trigger.
I am partial to the film exposures.... But then again, i shoot 3:1 film to my H5
H system is so underrated!
What was the film scanner?
1:33 Did shots?? SUS!!! I saw Chris vent!!!
xD
film pictures look really good
Thanks!!!
That house is incredible
it's really nice!! When you're in there photographing, it's pretty easy to run out of ideas, especially doing 2 rounds in it
@@whoschrischu Where is this? Is it an air bnb?
Came for the photography, stayed for the lo-fi beats
my Boyyysss
Dude next time, 3 Photog challenge 🙌🏽
Come to the Bay!
Indian style ❤
like window film shot🎉❤
Your skillful was superb.
Why do you think you missed focus?
film is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
it sure is!!!
"Two photographers shoot the same model" damm RIP
Film...FIlm...Film...
YESSSIIRRRRR
Definitely prefer the colours and tonal range from the Film and I thought the model looked a bit self conscious in front of both of you, I think u guys where worried to much about the challenge and not directing your subjects in a fun and playful way where the subject forgot you guys where there, she looked very conscious of u both and also like I said a bit self conscious. I definitely didn’t see her soul.
Fujifilm digital camera definitely has more character and clarity than Hasselblah the images coming from film camera seems more soft.
They looked like they came from the same camera, be it film or digital.
Thats how low the variation was.
oh interesting!!! Once you print it, you can definitely tell which is which
your video shoot color is good more than your photos :))
No 🧢 Chris caught an L both rounds😶🌫️😶🌫️🤣🤣. Team Reggie!!!
SHEEEEEEESH
😮
The thing about film as that it gets digitized making a comparison somewhat moot. Great photography though with both!
the colors on the fuji just looked a bit orange / magenta compared to the film stock chris used either way the say the film wins in this one
FILM FILM FILM
Smh smh why use the smallest medium format cameras waste of a opportunity
390th view!!
my favorite 390th viewer!!
Did u shoot digital at ISO800 as well?
If not, then this comparison is pointless
He did
@@whoschrischu cool!
That Hasselblad H1 was made mostly by Fujifilm as well, so in some strange ways they are kinda related in a previous life 😀
