Charles, thank you! I always say you should be shooting with the best camera you can justify purchasing, but by no means will the camera do the work for you. That said, the Phase One offers some distinct characteristics and perhaps features which are definitely advantageous for many photographers. let me know if you need any suggestions about who to contact if you want to demo a camera.
@Juan our next workshop is in discussion for the fall of 2022. We generally make the announcement 3-4 months prior to the event. As far as your equipment, I always encourage photographers to bring whatever camera they currently own and use. We are REALLY fortunate that the great folks at Capture Integration and Phase One donate and share multiple camera systems for our event in an effort to allow you to experience pretty much all of the medium format options for us as interior and architectural photographers. My goals for the workshop have always been to share my techniques, experience and shooting philosophies with you. It is NOT about the gear. That said, many photographers really love learning and exploring the amazing camera systems and of course it is a part of the entire workshop experience, how much is really up to each individual. You can message me on IG, or go to the Capture Integration site to learn more about our past and upcoming workshops.
Very informative great .. would love to buy tutorials when I have extra budget. Barry one small question if you can help me, when you are using flash mix in a room or environment which has warm tungsten lights then in that do you put some kind of gel on flash to match flash with tungsten ambient? if you use then what gel do u use? If u dont use gel then how do u match it in post work? your answer will really help me.
Jeetin, there are many ways to achieve "color balance" when blending strobe and ambient captures. The simple answer, and one I think photographers need to understand prior to manipulating color balance within the Digital Darkroom, is that strobe lighting is essentially balanced for daylight (close to 5000 degrees Kelvin), while most "artificial" interior light sources will be significantly warmer, closer to 3200 degrees Kelvin (what we have traditionally referred to as tungsten-balanced). I would suggest experimenting with color correction gels on your strobes to achieve a consistent color in your interior images. A "Full CTO" gel, will modify your strobe color and make it much warmer and closer to 3200 degrees. This can be a great way to shoot interiors, especially where there is little to no daylight influencing the color inside, and this way, you can shoot at relatively slow shutter speeds, and find a nice color balance between your strobe lighting (once it is gelled with the CTO - "color temperature orange"). They of course, make varying degrees of color correction gels for your strobes, from 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 etc. CTO. On another note, one can use a CTO in concert with a "dusk" image and with careful control of shutter speed, achieve a "twilight" quality to the exterior color balance. I have that demonstrated in one of my tutorials. Sorry such a long answer!
Great work, Barry. More interior design photographers need to discover you. I am curious as to the alley shot you displayed in your video, when you said your assistant popped some light during a long exposure shot. Was the flash light painted during the long exposure with continuous light or you took several long exposure shots for the same picture?
Frank, at the time, we were using a strobe unit, more than likely a Profoto B1 which is what was available at that time. with the lens open, we employed the "multiple pops" tecnhique of the one strobe as we moved through that tunnel
Love your work!!! I’ve tried to keep the phase one out of my mind but it’s images like these that make me want one even more!!

Great work, can't wait to learn from you
thank you!
Are there any planned workshops for 2022 in Las Vegas? If we attend, can we use a mirrorless camera, or do we need to have a Phase One?

Massive thanks for making this and sharing. It does stop all of a sudden. Is there more?
Mark, with apologies. this is the introduction to the actual video tutorial.
@@GrossmanPhoto Gotcha! thanks 🙏
