- This is a behind the scenes video of an editorial shot by Frederico Martins for Dsection Magazine featuring top models Luis Borges and Kim Kraglund. In it Frederico shows all the technical specs to achieve the striking look of his images.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your work.
Hi @BigGlouki, the orange filters are used to lower the color temperature of the sun light by increasing the color temperature of the flash. That allows you to get blueish cast over the background maintaining a correct color temperature over the model lit by the flash. Of course later you have to adjust the raw file in Capture one to the correct color temperature of the orange filter, In this case I used a 1/4 CTO filter from Rosco. Hope i could help, take care!
LOVE this!
@FredBGG you're totally right but you must clarify that it only works with some camera-lights combinations, and that a certain level of testing and fine tuning must be done to achieve the results you say possible! With Schneider lenses it is a out of the box feature. No testing or fine tuning needed and it works with every flash brand! But thanks for sharing!
A Nikon D70 will sync at 1/1000th with flash. I used it to photograph BMX biking quite a few years ago. Although a bit of a drop in pixels compared to the Phase One and no Schneider lenses of course.
With strobes there are plenty of combinations that work with 35mm DSLR cameras.

Phase One High Speed flash sync
With Canon Canon or Nikon speedlights it does not require any fine tuning and it is an out of the box feature too. For direct light light and shallow depth of field the Canon/ Nikon and speed light would achieve the same look. Actually the speed light combination would let the photographer go to even higher sync speeds.
The result is even exposure over the full frame at all flash pack power setting with no color shift.
I tested all shutter speeds from 1/320 all the way to 1/8000th
Flash pack power setting from 1/16th to full power.
To get an idea of flexibility with the head at 20ft I could shoot correct exposure at 1/1600th at f16 all the way to 1/8000th at f1.4
The fact that the focal plane shutter "wastes" flash power at high sync speeds actually gives range than working with the Phase One.
Hi Fred! Looking at the Canon 5D Mark III high speed sync performance report on PocketWizards site. I could not get any of the performances that you are speaking of. As Federico Martins as reported this would take too much fine tuning and I would practically have to shoot at full power... even then I would only get 1/800th max on certain flash heads.
So I can give this some more accurate numbers I did a test with the D800 and Elinchrom strobes.
Here is the setup
Flash Elinchrom 6,000 w/s pack.
Elinchrom X 6000 N double tube flash head.
SB-910 set to manual at 1/128th power covered just on the camera to activate Auto FP mode.
Nikon D800 connected via a flash sync cable to the Elinchrom flash pack.
Whats the point in using the orange filter?
It is also very possible to shoot with an open aperature on a 35mm format camera; ND filters.
Also, there's new flash equipment with HSS now, that may not have been possible in 2012 :)
It is also possible to do this right out of the box with a Hasselblad but at 1/800th of a second and with the full line of Hasselblad H lenses. With the addition of a 1 stop neutral density filter and one stop more flash power the same shallow depth of field can be obtained with a Hasselblad H system camera.
This is not something that is unique to a phase one camera in the medium format field either.
It's not surprising you would get good results with such a powerful 6000 watt per second strobe. Did you blind anyone on that test?
Contrary to what this video leads you to believe it is possible to shoot high speed flash with either strobes or speedlights. One can even achieve faster speeds than is possible with the leaf shutter Phase One system.
All you need to do is use the pocket wizard FlexTTL radio slaves and hypersync with a recent Canon or Nikon. Speed
