Shooting Portraits on Film & Digital [Mamiya RB67 & Canon 6D Mark II]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 фев 2020
- FINALLY got round to shooting a little bit of behind the scenes using medium format, taken on the Mamiya RB67! It was only one roll of film, so I included some BTS of the digital work too, shot on a Canon 6D Mark II. Hopefully I'll have some more film behind the scenes coming shortly!

Really lovely work. I dig the vibes.

6:03 WOW. im buying this camera now haha, all i needed to see
Haha it is a lovely camera! Thanks for watching!
Love the gallery shots!
Thank you so much!
your medium format work is incred!!!
Thank you so much!!
Those RB pictures are fire. Bet your biceps were feeling the burn too :D
Thank you! And ahh you already know 😭
Thanks for the video.
When I shoot portraits with my RB67, I usually do the following:
1. To save time, I have my RB67 film backs already loaded with film before the portrait session.
2. Not only do I use a digital camera for test shots, but I also use it as a light meter for my RB67.
3. I love the 90mm f/3.8 for full-lengh portraits. However, I prefer the
250mm f/4.5 for tight face shots and the 180mm f/4.5 for head & shoulder shots.
4 I rarely shoot handheld RB67 portraits. I usually use a tripod or a monopod.
You're glasses are fire!
Beautiful series of portraits, I like the ones of the RB67 more, specially the photos with the model standing at 6:41 and 7:10.
Interesting channel.
Thank you so much! Using the RB67 definitely produces the nicer images, in my opinion, and I’d definitely shoot on it more often if it wasn’t for the price haha! Thank you for your feedback!
@@SophiaCarey Yes, the look that gives the medium format is really different. The entire process makes more fun too but you're right, it's of course more expensive.
These came out nice Sophia!
Thank you so much! Must’ve gotten lucky 😂
Great work!
Thank you!
i absolutely adore my Mamiya RB67 its nice to see some fashion images shot with it :D
Thank you so much!
@@SophiaCarey Aww no worries ive followed on insatgram & subscribed on here i cant wait too see more stuff , i will hopefully be uploading some photography related content soon
Love the way you shoot :D it is nice to see how you all are enjoyiny yourself :D keep it up thumbs up :D!
Thank you so much! Hope you’re doing well Oliver
great shots, esp the art gallary ones, she looks like meryl streep in her queen elizabeth role.
Beautiful portraits
Thank you so much!
Love the video! Any reason in particular you went with the prism finder over the waist level? I have a 645 which is lighter and turning it on its side is still cumbersome!
Thank you so much! I have a waist level too, but it’s broken at the moment! Although I do prefer the prism given that I don’t have to work out which way to move 😂 ah I can imagine!
Cool !!
Thank you!
Your colour grade on this video is clean!
Thank you so much!
Love this location
The first one? Thank you!
Hey i love your video so much, i’m interested on buying a mamiya to star doing film i wanted to know what lense is the one you used to shoot this photos. Loved the result and keep it
These pictures are good. Like real good
Thank you!

Hi Nice video, I use the RB67 Pro S and find it much better to use the WLF for portraits. Much easier to engage the model, do you use it at all?
Thank you! I use the WLVF for most of my portraits nowadays, mostly with the RZ67. I find the prism finder best for ease of shooting and the waist level viewfinder best for focusing, personally!
Thanks for watching!
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
the photos turned out wonderful! :) now i want to do a digital vs. film video on our channel hahah
ah thank you so much! I'm still beginning with the Mamiya but I'm loving how it's going! Haha, you should do!
@@SophiaCarey Yess!! Definitely a slower process than digital, but i saw the biggest upgrade in photos when I switched to primarily shooting film!
metal fingers I’m hoping to see a similar change! I’m definitely loving the process. Just subscribed to your channel. Great content!
Awesome vid!!! love the rb shots. I noticed the jacket of the model in the film shots appears to have a green hue/color cast. Are you converting with neglab pro? If so I recommend not doing the white balance auto off the film mask.
Thank you so much! These were actually scanned by my lab, so untouched by myself!
Great fun. To open a new roll of 120, don’t fiddle with the seal. Stick your fingernail under where the backing paper is folded back on itself and break the seal that way. Much easier😊
Ah, thank you so much! I ALWAYS get stuck on that sticky bit so I’ll definitely try that next time, thank you!
👍
Great video ! Fantastic photos... congratulations to you both 😊 may I ask you which is the preset you use for editing your first part here ( I have see you offer to purchase some picture presets from your shop in your website... ) and wanted to know which one is it please ?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I haven’t used the same preset on all of these photos, but most of them used one of the last presets from my SJC02 pack with a couple of tweaks! X
Sophia Carey thank you a lot !!! Good luck 🍀
great video, and Sophia, Don't stress about the camera issues, as with ALL film cameras, LF included, and esp. these 'system slr's ' every part that comes between the lens and film, has light seals, darkslides, and other places where light can leak in; and so everyone needs the first roll or two ( or two dozen sheets for 4x5" film) to iron out these quirks, and also get used to the camera, as for manual cameras, doing the wrong thing at the wrong time can be disasterous!, as a large Format photographer Mat Marrash says, you need to "learn the dance", not the foxtrot!!, but the daily routine of using the camera.
Love the shots you took with the RB67!
What lens did you use for those shots?
Thank you so much! They were shot with the 90mm 3.8 Sekor C lens ✨
You really should buy a left hand grip for your RB67.....much more stable & secure for hand held shooting!
I’ll have a look for one, thanks!
Great shots! What lens are you using with the Mamiya?
Thank you! It’s a 90mm
Beautiful !!! what lens and film u used in rb67?
Thank you! It was a 90mm lens and Portra 400
What lens did you use with your Canon? Just curious. Thanks
This was the Sigma 35 1.4!
Nice! What lens is on your Mamiya?
This was with the 90mm 3.8!
@@SophiaCarey thank you so much :)
How do you mesure the light, light meter or phone?
I just used a light meter app on my phone! I feel like as long as you have an understanding of light, the phone apps are fine to use!
Why wouldn’t you just use your metered prism finder ?
lovely work. SUBBED
Thank you so much!
Medium format all the way. 😍😅
The only thing I miss in this video is the final comparison of the shots.
Is there a need to wind the film back or do you just remove it after it’s finished shooting?
Just advance the film after you’ve taken your last shot! I like to wind the lever a few times just to be safe (because I opened the back once and it hadn’t wound properly). And then just open up the back and take it off of the spool. (Remember to move the spool back to the old position before you load your next roll.)
@@SophiaCarey thank you so much! Also do you store it in a case after or is there no need for that?
@@olisatasie-amadijr.9212 You secure the roll with a little tab, and then I just put it somewhere safe (like a small bag within my bag or something like that). I generally drop my film into the lab quite soon after shooting it, but if I don’t then I usually leave it in the bag/a case, just so I know where it is and stays protected really
This was awesome! could you make a video about how to take portrait photos? I typically take landscape photos and am having a tough time adjusting to the angles of portrait. Thank you 🙏
Hey! That sounds great, I’ll definitely work on something. Is it the composition you’re struggling with? Thanks for watching!
Sophia Carey yesss composition indeed. Thanks for the response 🙏
how you know the correct exposure before to shoot with the Mamiya ?
Either judge the scene by eye if you’re comfortable with knowing your settings, or else you can use a light meter: an external light meter, an app on your phone or even using a DSLR or other camera with an internal light meter to read the scene and then transfer those settings. Let me know if that makes sense!
Gorgeous stuff. Though, those shots look More like Fuji Pro 400h instead of Portra 400. Maybe it's just me?
Thank you! And it was definitely Portra 400 haha. I don’t know enough about the way that different stocks look to know if I can agree with you though haha, but maybe I’ll try Fuji Pro if it has a similar result!
@@SophiaCarey it's similar, yet different. Er,...earthier??
@@41666bg Ooh, I'll have to check it out!
Is that the “take more photos” strap?
Yes it is! 👀
Sophia Carey niiiice!😭 ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I’m excited!
Love the shots from the RB! I think 7:07 was my favourite. Insane job on the colours! Used to have the exact same digital and film set up at you too! Check out my recent work with the RZ on my channel!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Haha, that’s great! I’ll definitely check out your work! How do you find the RZ compared to the RB?
great use of the location. no one around to bother either
Thank you! I saw it on a walk near where I live and I knew I had to shoot there straight away!
The second camera looks super heavy 😄
Haha, it’s incredibly heavy 😂
Stick it on a tripod....let it carry all the weight instead of your poor hands & arms!
7:20 beautiful
Canon 6D mark II
Nice job! Be sure to overexpose color film! It seems kind of underexposed in most shots. Just a friendly tip!
Thank you! I’ll definitely take that into consideration
@@SophiaCarey They look bang on to me. Love the tones you're getting.
las fotos 💯 la modelo 💯

Hey! Thank you so much! In this video I used a 90mm! It’s a really great and versatile lens. I’d definitely recommend it
