Hasselbad or not, all of your photos look high quality and expensive. Proof to me that it's not the gear that makes good photos, it's the photographer.
no, its not just her skills, its the models she gets, she can really pick them!!, they are so beautiful, nothing can replace that, she does a great job, but the model is half of the work.
This just shows that no matter the equipment, Irene will always nail her own signature high quality style of photographing. The most impressive thing about this camera is to see its 100 megapixel in action. I was waiting for this video and excited for the next ones
When I attended Formal Photography School in Daytona Beach I used a Hassy 500cm and it came with a 80mm lens and I picked up a 120mm lens and a angled viewfinder. I still own all my old film cameras and Hasselblad is the best medium format camera, you will enjoy it.
I remember the Hassselblads back in the 90's when they were medium format film cameras- never had one but they had THE reputation for being the Mercedes of cameras. (I had a Mamiya) These shots are SO sharp, crisp, clear and lovely- the resolution is amazing. Great job- it truly is not just the camera, but the person behind it!
The real star of this shot is Sonya's Modelling/acting! I love the way the both of you create stories! I see a young women, figuring out what she wan'ts to do with her life. Beautiful!
@@IreneRudnyk I see someone who doesn't try to pretend anything. I think that state of mind can open a window that person's thoughts, and feelings. In a photo they can return the gaze of the observer with questions. That's what I felt looking at your photos. And what better can a work of art do, than asking questions? Keep up the good work!
I recently added the X2D and 90V to my bag, and I so glad that I did. It’s the best camera I have ever used for portrait work. I still love my R5 for action, but the images from the X2D are stunning SOOC.
Watching you working was a masterclass, I watched the video out of curiosity about the type of photos you would take with the new camera, but as someone else said, your work is incredible with any camera… I learned a lot watching you work… thanks for this video!
Congratulations, because you are considered by Hasselblad such an excellent photographer you got such a gift. Otherwise they wouldn't bother. That on itself is a great personal accomplishment and honor.
It's more than an advertisement. ❤ you my first teacher way b4 the crowd. Apart from all that, I see H.B set you up with 100 Mp. Would love a comparison. Lovely melodious and harmonic work as always 🎉
Listen to that shutter! It’s a like a German car door 😊 And you don’t even have to do frame expansion with the Hassy’s aspect ratio. I think this is the camera for you. Minus all of its quirks.
Beautiful images, as you shoot also with all other cameras. Beautiful model also. The cook makes the menu, the pans are only tools. ;) The one at 16:09 shows what a good cook with the right ingredients and a aweseome pan can do.
Loved watching this and seeing how Hasselblad is getting in the game and working with creators and photographers that make outstanding work. I hope that this helps bridge the gap between high end medium format cameras and professional photographers and consumer cameras. Your work is truly beautiful and you are adding much value to a brand such as Hasselblad, Irene. Best regards from Houston!
@@IreneRudnyk Quick question!! I'm getting R6 mark 2 just 4 months used RF 24-105 4L RF 100 2.8 256 GB card In 3465 USD. Is it good offer or suggest me any other option!! R6 mark 3 expected time ? Any idea? What do you think about R3? I have 14 months of savings so I need your good piece of advice!! Big size cameras impress the clients or not?? I wanted to target small restaurants, food photography, reels.. products!! RUclips videos for my channel. Street photography!! That's all I want to do with 1 single camera. Last Camera is C80 Canon... If only video what do you recommend?
Thank you for sharing your process of the photoshoot. I learned so much! I am trying to do my daughter's senior portraits this year, myself, so I need to learn all I can. You do beautiful work!
As wedding photographers (35th year) we went down the X series route as soon as they were announced - now we have three - 2 X2D's and 1 spare and the 907cCFV100c - which uses identical architecture and lenses - all connected through Profoto - works seamlessly - good luck - nice pics
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Hasselblad. Well done as usual. I have noticed an interesting trend with RUclips photographers moving to or using the Hasselblad system. I do want to get into the system myself, but the price of admission to the Hasselblad Club is just too much for most photographers. Keep up the great work!
Like how you add light to the face but keep the hair not over exposed. The contrast between the backlight hair and her face are very well balanced. Many would add a little fill light to counter the sunlight.
Awesome images. great location and choice of model with the red hair. Works beautifully backlit. I love shooting that style. Now the camera. OMG. I will never be able to afford something like that but that is just awesome.
I have it. It is my favourite camera (for the jobs intended to do, landscape, architecture, people, products). The ergonomics and how it feels in your hands blows away all competitors and I shot with almost all brands for a while (except for Pentax). The IBIS is awesome, starting with the 2.5/38V or wider, I can shot long exposure landscapes hand held up to half a second exposure time, with the 2.5/25 even longer. The one thing I really am missing is a joystick. 2nd in ergonomics and image quality is Nikon, I’m still very confident with my D6 and D850. Image quality of Leica SL is slightly better, but the SL has no usable thumb rest, that’s unfortunately a design flaw and the AF still can’t be used for sports and action. For that, the APO SL lenses are unbeatable and the SL system is probably the best rain and dust protected system. I shot open air concerts using the SL2-S and solely the APO-Summicron-SL 2/75 for 2 hrs in pouring-pouring-pouring rain and had no issues.
FYI. Have your husband check into this solution for the PC. I'm using the Fuji GFX 100II and with files that are 200mb in size it can get slow with an external drive as you have experienced. I had to move to a internal SSD M.2 4TB drive, I import my RAW files to this drive, point LrC to this drive for editing, this drive is only used for editing current sets of pictures, export to the same drive as well, I don't install programs or use it as the operating system. When all done with the set, I then move it over to my NAS for storage, I'm a bit of a picture hoarder.
Irene, the reason the camera is so light is that it's mirrorless, yes, BUT not exclusively an E- shutter, its a leaf shutter (remember the ep. with Drew, and Andrew Bolton?)-yes, that leaf shutter, so no mirror slap, focus sensors, etc. a compact lens and body.
Regarding Capture One. Originally, C1 was the software to use only with Phase One medium format cameras. Later on C1 expanded into supporting other cameras, as long as there were not medium format, as they didn't want competitor cameras to be used with their software. Eventually, c1 software was spun off into a separate company from Phase One. Fujifilm somehow convinced C1 to allow their GFX cameras onto C1. I don't understand why Hassy has not been able to.
As a follow up. I'm a GFX100SII user, so I have same file size issues. I find performance on my Mac Studio, 64Mb RAM, M2 Pro chip, to be perfectly acceptable in Capture One. I do most of my editing there. I'll use Affinity Photo for minor tweaks before doing prints. Then, I work on the TIFF file which is even bigger. Yeah, it's slow saving even to SSD but perfectly manageable if dealing with only one or two images. (I'm not printing 100 files 😂)
Because I am old, I can remember the very earliest days of digital. Cameras actually almost always came with built in storage back then - at least the consumer aimed ones did, the likes of Sanyo (yes, Sanyo made digital cameras!). It was never very much, like a few megabytes if you were lucky, enough for just a few 640x480 Jpegs, but it was there. Amazing photographs, as ever by the way!
one tip, the files are called 3F, fff or FFF they need phocus (new), or Flexcolor (scanning software for the Flextight scanners)- is FREE, and has a tab for conversion (exporting from 3F to Tiff), which is something every software can see. By the way, those shots aren't exactly raw (as in sensor data), the lens characteristics (CA, Vignetting, sharpness, colour cast) are "edited out" via an automatic lens profile correction, what you see (even on the lcd monitor), is a jpeg interpretation of this data, for BEST effect, as Hassy wants you to see it.
@@IreneRudnyk there isn't any noticeable affect on the image, its in the files, the lens profile thats created, is added differently to the raw when converted, also phocus features, like live view, tethering, remote shooting and others are only available in phocus, but glad you got the images you did, Fantastic, but notice the shadow/ detail recovery, in the edit vs the raw?, Thats the joy of owning this system (I have a H1 with Phase one P45+ and a H2 with the cf i-express back {hasselblads' own design} ), this is the 17 stops of dynamic range working in your favour! I first saw it photographing in my local market (indoors, with fluorescent lights in store counters)- the shot was way under exposed, but the files still recovered the products in the display, it blew my mind at first, but it's just the nature of MF digital, magic, what one can capture with it.
@@IreneRudnyk everyone does things differently, and Yes, some oem software isn't always the greatest (Nikon & canon raw converters, just to name a couple), but this one is designed for the file sizes of this system, so even if a bit complex, clunky etc compared to lightroom, its the speed at which such large files are handled (keeping in mind layers, presets, and other settings are added to the file, as separate "bags" when exported), so just the file size from the camera isn't the final size of the exported image, ALL others Can do it, just takes longer, and for fine art / portraiture / fashion /boudoir shots done commercially a LOT of shots are used, dealt with; so this speed is what keeps everyone in deadlines, and not waiting for files to load/save, etc. thats why Phase One and Hasselblad have these software packages , they are in a different league, so solutions need to be found to their specific issues, requirements, the high Pixel count is important for quality, so you can't dump anything!, thats why they exist, to preserve as much of this $60,000 camera's image quality as possible, so the client sees why such an expensive camera was used. (more so the Hasselblad H6D, Phase One XF with IQ4, the iq4 is 150 MP, but some H backs for the Hasselblad can go as high as 400MP!!)- this is what the software is designed to protect, these Ultra high MP images, even if you only shoot with a 47MP camera, this is what the software was designed for, and to keep up with this technology, if anyone would exceed this, the software can support it (no planned obsolescence here 🙂 ).
Glad to see you're having fun with the medium format! 9:00 This isn't about saving to an external drive. You;'re using "Save for Web" which isn't meant to process high resolutions; it’s optimized for smaller initial dimensions like web graphics or social media so you're 1350x1080 stuff. Using it on full-resolution images causes massive delays, no matter where you save it too (internal or external) as it’s not designed for such large dimensions. On my X1D (50MP), it`s easily over a minute to save to an NVME. Regular "Save As" to JPEG is much faster-just a second or two-JPEG is already compressed, so the extra savings from "Save for Web" are minimal and neglible. Resize your images first before invoking save for web or stick with "Save As" for better efficiency.
@@IreneRudnyk There’s an expression. “Is the effort of the climb to the top of the mountain worth the difference in the view?” If you had to had to buy the camera would the outlay $12k for it justify the difference in results vs what you normally use?
one point Irene, with the phocus software, just like Epson scan software, it is just to deal with the raw images, NOT the final export, its designed to do basic things like tethered capture, NO layers like lightroom, thats what lightrooms for, and phocus does the rough cutting, lightroom the surgical touch before final product exporting.
@@IreneRudnyk no you didn't do anything wrong, the colours are from the cameras sensor, the number of pixels and how the colour science inside weaves the web, the main differences are in what the tools are, and how easy it is to use, and in Phocus it has specific tools for their cameras, like camera control settings from phocus and tethered shooting, with the X2D the main difference should be the Lack of work you have to do afterwards, as the lens quality, and the colour science make a mark on what is captured, and the less noise, distortion to begin with, as well as the skin tones and subject colours being what they are, and the subject and background blur, means less post work, so more time to shoot and less behind a computer.
As always great images. When it comes to the Hasselblad X2D, I really want to love the camera, and in some ways it is a great camera. The ergonomics are really nice, and the build quality feels second to none. Hasselblads colour science is the best, and as a studio photographer I love that the camera has an extremely fast flash sync speed due to the leaf shutter lenses. But there are a couple of things which just drive the camera off a cliff for me. The autofocus I found to be very average, to below average depending on the lens being used, and the EVF, which, when it works, gives a great image, but so often I would put my eye up to the viewfinder and nothing would happen, or be incredibly laggy. It is a real shame because in so many ways the X2D blows the GFX100II out of the water but in important areas, even my GFX100s, just works so much better.
@@IreneRudnyk mostly your initial thoughts on the physical camera. It looks pretty huge to me, but admittedly, I've never shot anything larger than 35mm/full frame. Your pictures looked great, as usual!
Hello Irene, I have been watching your channel for years and every time you let me be inspired by your nice creation and super beautiful photos, is it possible to get 1 raw film photo from the Hasselblad camera? is just to be able to see what possibilities I have to edit, kind regards, David
Use Hasselblad Phocus software to transfer and save your images for best result, then use Capture One for edit ;o) Always best to use original software first. Myself enough just Phocus software for light editing as I like original look of portrait, and Hasselblad is the best camera for natural colours.
Try an ssd for external drive. You might also want to try hasselblad’s software for raw conversion. Phase one, capture one’s parent company, was direct competitor with hasselblad. Now that hasselblad no longer makes cameras that directly compete with phase one’s offerings, there may be a chance of support in capture one, but wouldn’t hold my breath. For capture one to get best out of cam sensors, they need cooperation from cam manufacturers.
I tried Phocus, but I didn’t see much difference between it and Lightroom so I just stayed with Lightroom . Let’s hope that in the near future C1 will support Hasselblad files 🙏
Clinically your photos are really amazingly beautiful posing is great …. but I prefer a lens with a character specially the one that is not super sharp. Modern lens are so sharp that you can see unwanted blemish of a person it’s good for beautiful models but not to ordinary persons.. and no questions Hasselblad is Hasselblad a great medium format camera ever since.. 👍👍👍
I think it’s 71mm and for the aperture it’s gets more complicated, it doesn’t really change technically but it looks more shallow than 2.5 would be on a full frame.
Hasselbad or not, all of your photos look high quality and expensive. Proof to me that it's not the gear that makes good photos, it's the photographer.
no, its not just her skills, its the models she gets, she can really pick them!!, they are so beautiful, nothing can replace that, she does a great job, but the model is half of the work.
For Hasselblad to give you that camera says how much they respect your work. You’re that good. Keep up the good work.
she gets to keep it?
It’s not mate, they’ve give them out like confetti at a wedding. Mainly to RUclipsrs who have a decent subscriber number.
This just shows that no matter the equipment, Irene will always nail her own signature high quality style of photographing. The most impressive thing about this camera is to see its 100 megapixel in action. I was waiting for this video and excited for the next ones
Thank you for watching :)
No matter what camera you have in your hand, your wonderful style always stands out. Very beautiful photos and admirable, fine and elegant editing.
Being able to see yourself in the nearly 500% zoom so clearly is insane!
So exciting seeing you use medium format!!
It's TRUE what they say, it's not about the camera.. it's the PHOTOGRAPHER! Supporting you all the way from Philippines ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Finally, I've always believed medium format suited your composition best. Hope you keep it.
When I attended Formal Photography School in Daytona Beach I used a Hassy 500cm and it came with a 80mm lens and I picked up a 120mm lens and a angled viewfinder. I still own all my old film cameras and Hasselblad is the best medium format camera, you will enjoy it.

Sonia’s modelling skills improved so much since we did out first photoshoot together, I love photographing her
@@IreneRudnyk I see someone who doesn't try to pretend anything. I think that state of mind can open a window that person's thoughts, and feelings.

So fun getting to try that camera out at the workshop. It was amazing meeting and getting to learn from you.
Beautiful images as always, would love to see an in studio or indoor shoot next
Like how you add light to the face but keep the hair not over exposed. The contrast between the backlight hair and her face are very well balanced. Many would add a little fill light to counter the sunlight.
Would you make another tutorial especially on how you edit skin tones? Yours always look so natural and still bright
You do incredible work with whatever camera you use. ☺️

Resize your images first before invoking save for web or stick with "Save As" for better efficiency.
Hm my R5 files don’t take much time to save with the same method. But I’ll try your suggestion :)
hell yeah!!! Love to see you killing it sister
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful pictures. I like watching an artist at work. those photos look good straight out of camera. Also your model was very good.
Thank you! I appreciate it ❤️
Amazing Work♥♥
The detail is amazing, also interesting is the different colour science compared to your canon photos. These have a lighter feel
It’s definitely a bit different but I really like it!
@@IreneRudnyk most definitely
Capture One is my favorite editor also.
The dynamic range of the sensor in the ambient backlight in the RAW files is impressive.
It really is!
@@IreneRudnyk There’s an expression. “Is the effort of the climb to the top of the mountain worth the difference in the view?” If you had to had to buy the camera would the outlay $12k for it justify the difference in results vs what you normally use?
one point Irene, with the phocus software, just like Epson scan software, it is just to deal with the raw images, NOT the final export, its designed to do basic things like tethered capture, NO layers like lightroom, thats what lightrooms for, and phocus does the rough cutting, lightroom the surgical touch before final product exporting.
I tried Focus and didn’t see much difference between it and Lightroom, not sure if I was doing something wrong? The colors look exactly the same
@@IreneRudnyk no you didn't do anything wrong, the colours are from the cameras sensor, the number of pixels and how the colour science inside weaves the web, the main differences are in what the tools are, and how easy it is to use, and in Phocus it has specific tools for their cameras, like camera control settings from phocus and tethered shooting, with the X2D the main difference should be the Lack of work you have to do afterwards, as the lens quality, and the colour science make a mark on what is captured, and the less noise, distortion to begin with, as well as the skin tones and subject colours being what they are, and the subject and background blur, means less post work, so more time to shoot and less behind a computer.
10:11 Wow! Just amazing
Beautiful work ❤ and great video
Thank you! Cheers!
Your model Sonia is doing really well. I remember her first video with you.
I know! She’s a pro now!
That leaf shutter sound
It sounds ✨expensive ✨
Watching from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Как всегда круто) очень атмосферно) детализация поражает...
When your going to sleep and the you see the name of irene in your notification. Nah let extend the time and watch ❤❤.. Thank you sonmuch irene
You're the best!
@@IreneRudnyk thank you so much always for inspiration ☺📷
Very Demure, Very mindful, very cutesy 😂😂
Irene, RTFM, the panel flips up almost horizontal in the second position.
1:05 it’s was gifted.. i am struggling not be too envy 😅❤*3 ……it came to right hands
Amusing seeing someone using x2d as if it's a 35mm SONY or Canon. Not saying the photos are bad.
How am i supposed to use it? More pretentious?
Wow very nice camera!! Injoy ❤
As always great images. When it comes to the Hasselblad X2D, I really want to love the camera, and in some ways it is a great camera. The ergonomics are really nice, and the build quality feels second to none. Hasselblads colour science is the best, and as a studio photographer I love that the camera has an extremely fast flash sync speed due to the leaf shutter lenses.
But there are a couple of things which just drive the camera off a cliff for me. The autofocus I found to be very average, to below average depending on the lens being used, and the EVF, which, when it works, gives a great image, but so often I would put my eye up to the viewfinder and nothing would happen, or be incredibly laggy.
It is a real shame because in so many ways the X2D blows the GFX100II out of the water but in important areas, even my GFX100s, just works so much better.
I agree on the focus, haven’t had any problems with EVF yet, I’m gonna shoot some manual lenses in it soon, excited about that!
Sleek is one word I'm not used to hearing when describing medium format!
Sleek looking ? Nah?
@@IreneRudnyk mostly your initial thoughts on the physical camera. It looks pretty huge to me, but admittedly, I've never shot anything larger than 35mm/full frame. Your pictures looked great, as usual!
I feel the shutter noise kind of annoying.
Hello Irene, I have been watching your channel for years and every time you let me be inspired by your nice creation and super beautiful photos, is it possible to get 1 raw film photo from the Hasselblad camera? is just to be able to see what possibilities I have to edit, kind regards, David
Beautiful work. Try saving to an external SSD wirh a PCI 4.0 interface, it will be a lot faster.
Thanks for the tip!
I love your style the way you treat your model I’m learning with your video thanks a lot ❤.!.!.!.!
Thank you for watching :)
Beautiful photos
Thank you
Hasselblad 💚💚💚
Use Hasselblad Phocus software to transfer and save your images for best result, then use Capture One for edit ;o) Always best to use original software first. Myself enough just Phocus software for light editing as I like original look of portrait, and Hasselblad is the best camera for natural colours.
Always read the manual!
Enjoyed your Utube. You mentioned external storage, are you using a Raid system or just an SSD drive? Thank you!
Love your channel.
Try an ssd for external drive. You might also want to try hasselblad’s software for raw conversion. Phase one, capture one’s parent company, was direct competitor with hasselblad. Now that hasselblad no longer makes cameras that directly compete with phase one’s offerings, there may be a chance of support in capture one, but wouldn’t hold my breath. For capture one to get best out of cam sensors, they need cooperation from cam manufacturers.
I tried Phocus, but I didn’t see much difference between it and Lightroom so I just stayed with Lightroom .
Let’s hope that in the near future C1 will support Hasselblad files 🙏
About the long save time.. Try to add local nvme pci to work locally and in the end save into external drive
❤❤ amazing 😍
Maybe you should upload how you edited those raw images. It was so stunning! Just curios how it was done. By the way, nice content.
Irene..beautifull..Now we need a comparison between Canon 85 1.2 and the Hasselblad
Yes! I’m curious myself
Love the Canon RF 85mm 1.2 look more
But you haven’t seen the comparison, so how can you tell, they are very very comparable ( as someone who actually shorts both)
Irene and her fairy girls/forest beauties are always my favorite 😍 the indication classic European romantic fantasy ❤
❤️❤️🙏
Clinically your photos are really amazingly beautiful posing is great ….
but I prefer a lens with a character specially the one that is not super sharp. Modern lens are so sharp that you can see unwanted blemish of a person it’s good for beautiful models but not to ordinary persons.. and no questions Hasselblad is Hasselblad a great medium format camera ever since..
👍👍👍
You’ll enjoy it when I’ll be using my Mamiya lenses on the Hasselblad then! It’s coming soon
@@IreneRudnyk can’t wait to see those!!!
Amazing work! Anyone knows what the FF equivalent would be for this setup?
I think it’s 71mm and for the aperture it’s gets more complicated, it doesn’t really change technically but it looks more shallow than 2.5 would be on a full frame.
Amazing!
