Hi, my name is Samuel, I'm located in Berlin, Germany. I'm currently pursuing a career as a cinematographer. I'm shooting film to help me study light, composition, exposure etc. Here you can watch me (hopefully) grow my understanding of photography and cinematography and join me on the trips and projects I embark on.
If you're a photographer, videographer etc. near Berlin feel free to reach out on Instagram as I'm always looking to learn and work with others.

Self assignment work in the UK | Leica M6
I went on a short trip to the UK to visit my family. While I was there I also shot only 1 roll, but made it my mission to add more work to my UK self assignment project. This project is a self assigned documentary project where I shoot things in the UK that I as a former resident see as traditionally British.
Having never been able to make a previous video due to losing super 8 footage, I only have some previous photos to build upon.

72 hour film photography trip to Faro, Portugal | Contax G1
Переглядів 903Рік тому
In December of 2022 I travelled to Faro, Portugal. I took my Fuji XT-4 with me with the Voigtländer 35mm Nokton 1.4 adapted to it. This video footage was paired with that of my iPhone, and the photos from my Contax G1 on Cinestill 400D, Kodak Gold and P3200Tmax to create, in my opinion, one of my most visually striking videos to date, I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed editing these clips an...

You are not going to fix a single sht. Just put fuel, change the oil and let´s drivee!!
Congratulations! Beautiful images!
thank you very much!
Oh, Super 8 und die Heimat... sehr cool geworden!
danke sehr!
Awesome footage! Great to see some 8mm in slow mo like that. I appreciate the images of weather in bw, especially with the blur of the water from the slower shutter speeds. Great little trip, hope to see more 🎉 cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for stopping by again Patrick.
Great info! Videos like this keep film rolling 🎞️
do you work for ARRI Rental?
no I don’t, I did learn some stuff there when I went there with my camera though.
@@samprstn if you dont mind me asking, how did you manage to get your hands on a SR3hs? From what I know, there aren't many owner operators out there.
Beautiful cars! I wanna see your shots! I am so jealous though. I have subscribed in hopes of living vicariously through you as you shoot your leica because I'll probably never be able to own one. BTW, please don't be upset if you scroll upon my video making fun of leica owners. It was all a joke for internet attention. I don't want to get cancelled by the film community before I get a reel following.
Great video - I think this is the best video for showcasing what the G1 is capable of - you really nailed some great shots. Most reviews of the G1 go over the specs but it's obvious that the reviewer has no idea how to use a camera. You obviously understand how to frame and how to use light to create great images. Thanks so much for making this video. You also now have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. I love to experience all different cameras, and I try my best to really understand a system when i make a video about using it. I’m glad it comes across as a valuable resource and not just a spec sheet ;)
The 12mm lens is the Ultra 16 lens, the 16mm and 25mm lenses are my Super Speed lenses.
Hi ! What lense is this?
Hi, this is a voigtländer 15mm super wide heliar v2
@@samprstn thank u so much I ordered it now for my Leica m6 and m11
💙🤍
Auge hast du, tolle Bilder. Aber bitte nicht immer alles totblitzen.
Hey ! interesting video, thanks for this. It's not easy to find information about servicing this camera on the web... (the arm of the film counter roller of my mag is not smooth, so it stays regularly stuck at 60meters, particularly when it's cold, any idea to fix this ? )
Thanks, yes there is very little out there sadly, your issue is probably something to do with the actual counter mechanism attached to the arm, which is further inside the mag than I have been. I have some guesses but no concrete ideas.
Wow, echt cool, sowohl die Bilder als auch das Video.
Wow! Danke für die Doku, bei 6:01 Minuten bin ich sogar sehr deutlich zu sehen!😂
Mind if I ask which lens you used for these?
I was using the Voigtländer nokton 35 :)
Really nice video. There is no much content on shooting 16mm on youtube so I apreciatte your content. Btw I would like to hear about what is the workflow on set. Especially cleaning the gate, loading the film etc. It would also be amazing to know about your lighting technics for 16mm. Keep up with the good job!
Thanks! I will try to capture as much as i can of the on-set process and make another video!
This ‘sedan’ ROCKED corvettes and Camaros and mustangs back in the day at Trans Am. So much so that they put restrictions on the tires, weight, and boost and then eventually banned them from competition bc they kept winning.
I’ve still got two Autocords along with a Rolleicord and Rolleiflex, not used any for some years now . I had the Pentax 645 many years ago with meter head and a selection of lenses, it was good but I preferred the simple square format of the older Minolta and Rollei products. They are also easy to use unobtrusively. I still crop images to rectangular shapes from square. The Autocords have sharper lenses and ideal for detail, whilst the Rolleicord was better for portraits and work well with the shallow depth of field possible with medium format. Great to see a younger person experimenting with older cameras, hope you continue to enjoy it.
Wow, you should get them back up and running! I am sticking by analog for now and enjoying everything im trying!
The car that humiliated the American muscle
The german Car with it's tiny, tiny engine......
@@tt-rs1457exactly When you know how to build engines all you need is a “tinny” 2.2 to do laps around the giants
wasn’t that the audi 200 for the trans am series. isn’t this a complete different car?
Sehr nice geworden ✌️
danke dir!
I enjoyed your video, nice little camera, it rendered images beautifully and dealt with some of the low light sutuations well. I have the Yashica T2 in my collection, currently halfway theough a roll of Agent Shadow B/W film. I added your channel, hopefully you connect with another retro photographer 📸
Glad you enjoyed! The T2 is also great, i don’t have my t5 anymore so im kind of jealous ;)

Sam du bist so eine Maschine. Lieb die Doku und es hat mir echt Spaß gemacht zu zuschauen. Kann kaum erwarten mehr von dir in Zukunft zu sehen! 💙
Danke dir sehr Cathleen, freut mich das von dir zu hören!
Super Doku! Ich liebe die Bilder 💙🤍
Danke!! Die sind echt einfach Klasse
How did you manage to take a pic with the slide in place...? The camera won't fire unless the slide is removed.
there’s an override switch
Great pics man!! Makes me really want a G1
Thank you Caleb! The prices have been falling a little so maybe it’s time to pick one up ;)
Love some info on settings you use on the G1 and any focusing tips!
sure, always around 1 stop over exposed using exposure compensation. Focusing is done via AF so I find a point I want to focus on and then recompose. The af is slow and sometimes needs a couple of tries. I shoot in aperture priority with the lens mostly set at around f4 or f5.6
@@samprstn thank you! Lovely work!
Beautiful work, Samuel!
Thank you very much Nuno!
How did u pick your settings ? Did you use an app?
Yes i used an app on my phone, i’ve even made a video on how to use the app i use! :)
love your work! keep it up mann
thank you so much that means a lot! Will do :)
Wonderful! Did you have a good experience using a Hasselblad? And do you think it holds up against the other medium format film cameras?
It was a good experience for sure, the camera is comparatively small and light compared to other medium format slrs (rb/rz67, pentax 67) and ive become a huge fan of the 6x6 format. The glass is superb too of course!
Also keep in mind film reciprocity failure when shooting in low light
Yes I mentioned this when talking about the exposures longer than 2 seconds 👍🏻
Beautiful work, Samuel! I'll be spending the next week in Faro and I'll also be taking my X-T4 and a couple of film cameras. Great timing!
Thank you very much Nuno! Beautiful, can’t wait to see what you shoot! Enjoy :)
very nice! what shutter speed did you use?
i believe i mentioned the aperture and shutter speeds used for most of the shots here during the video :)
That's one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen.
interestingly, you’re the first person to say that :)
Saves wasting paper !
0:38 shot is very nice!
Thank you very much! Everyone took a photo of that the light was just too great haha
What camera did you use?
Leica m6 + Voigtländer 35mm nokton
@@samprstn thanks, looks very Nice
@@samprstn wow that camera is very expensive what would be a cheap option but still have te same vintage look ?
any film camera with a 35mm lens will give you the same field of view and similar look. I was using the film stock called cinestill 400d here if you want to replicate.
@@samprstn thank you very much
You take beautiful pictures Sam! Really enjoyed watching your Video :)
Thank you so much Cathleen! I’m glad you enjoyed
What flash do u use? I have m6 classic and looking for a small fjash
I use a toshiba 320, it’s a fully manual flash so you have to adjust your aperture depending on distance to subject. it’s cheap and works great
@@samprstn thanks man! Just copped one! Looking forward to test them out!
fantastic, hope it works as well for you as it does for me!
Which flash do you use? I'm looking for a compact manual flash for my M4-P

Great video, keep them coming ^^, you should check out Porto in the future
Thank you Anthony! I definitely will, i’ve seen many beautiful images of the city!
