This is a great video!! Love seeing an analog workflow in the studio. Many UA-camrs fail to document these scenarios in a way that actually shows the process, not just the result. Keep killing it!
I used RB67s for most of my career, they are ungainly beasts to shoot with handheld, even with a handgrip. I'm fascinated to know what film he is running to be able to get sharp, unshaken images with that continuous lighting??. Interesting work. Great channel, great content thanks.
Interesting that he chose to use continuous lighting. I liked how efficiently he gave direction and the variety of poses he and the model were able to create. He should have an assistant, though, to load the film backs. Not surprising that rolls almost got confused. Great video, Sophia. Thanks.
The timing of this video is great for me, I'm doing a digital & film portrait studio shoot on Monday, so seeing another photographers process is useful
What a great video. Thank you for sharing. I loved watching the interaction and guidance he gave the model (something I'm trying to get better at). I do wish I knew the settings he was mostly using, i.e. f stop and shutter speed.
Nice, really nice! Lovely studio space and a strong and powerful concept. Very entertaining to watch! I've paid special attention to the lights he was using, but wasn't able to see the power output of his overhead softbox light. Do you happen to know what light he used as an overhead?
Thanks for watching! I just asked Alex and he said that the overhead was a 200 w and the frontal was a 150 w godox! Hopefully that answers your question for you
This guy is good. One of the few young photographers I have seen who understands what is going on. The model is stunning, although she has a modern look ( aggressive and overconfident ) and not that vulnerable look of the typical late 60s, early 70s models. Which version of the Polaroid is he using, the original or the resurrected one that takes ages to develop? I guess it is the modern one, given that he says it is susceptible to temp during development. Very interesting shoot. Thank you.
He’s brilliant, isn’t he! Definitely take a look at some of his other work too. As for the Polaroid, I’m not 100% sure but I think you’re right in saying it’s a more modern one. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Do you know how many watts the lights he used are? I’m still trying to figure out if lights under 600 watts will work in studio shooting with my Pentax 67.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I love that he used continuous light v. strobes. As someone relatively new to using lights with a film camera, strobe lights are intimidating! I wanted to know if you knew what ISO / aperture / shutter he used for this shoot? Thanks!
Hey! Thank you for watching! Im afraid I don’t know the specific camera settings he used for each shot as I imagine it will have changed depending on the lighting set up, the cameras he was using and the different sets. I definitely agree about strobes! Using continuous lights feel so much more accessible!
thank you so much for this! i mainly shoot film and just got booked for a fashion/e-comm/editorial gig and they're into it. this video was helpful to see how it is in the moment. i was curious because before digital cameras were a thing, shooting film was the standard, and even though that's true i was a bit curious as to how it works for such a shoot.
Thank you for sharing such a great video! I just want to point to the fact that some people don’t understand that a photographer’s vision will often be blocked by the camera, hence why when stepping in to get a video, say something like “behind you”. You’re surrounded by gear that is expensive and rare, be mindful, help the photographer ✨
thank you for this video seeing the process helps me as a starting photographer want to start feeling confident in my own processes. Great photos byw x
Fantastic videos, i like the vibe here Sophia, how do i know i am using the right light? What type of lights do you think work best with color gels on?
Yes he did! He mentions the cameras throughout the video but from the top of my head he was using a Mamiya RB67 for 120 film, Canon EOS 3 (I believe, but might have been a different model) for 35mm film and a Polaroid camera (unsure of model).

Nice video, only wish that every time he took a shot you would have shown it on the screen... and also would have been nice if the model had a mic 🎤 case the audio wasn't great...
I’m approaching film must recently and i’m still very nervous about exposure every single time. Did he use his phone to check if the exposure was right? Am i wrong? Thank you for the help!
Hey! I can’t remember specifically for this shoot but he may have done! You can download a light meter app to your phone if you don’t have a dedicated external light meter. Something I also find useful is to use your digital camera to meter/test your settings before moving onto film if you’re worried about it! Hopefully that helps.
Very interesting video. Perfect sound. How exactly does he use instant pics in process? Didn't it takes to much time? It's a part of production or just for fun?
@@SophiaCarey 😭 so I was trying to experiment and got rz ii and rz ... it got extra difficult to focus on rz after rz ii 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. But he fast fast like damnn

I believe Alex mostly shoots on Portra 400 and 800! Thanks for watching!
Been following him for awhile now, so awesome to see the BTS. Great video
Alex is amazing, isn’t he! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Sophia for the helpful video! God bless you and good luck!
Thank you for watching!
Fun watching someone shooting the 70s a time before they where born .
I get to remember from the 60s onward.
the photos turned out incredible! wow.
Alex definitely nailed the vibe he was going for, some awesome images
Didn’t he! He always creates such beautiful work.
What settings are you using for the EOS 3 photos?
Interesting that he chose to use continuous lighting. I liked how efficiently he gave direction and the variety of poses he and the model were able to create. He should have an assistant, though, to load the film backs. Not surprising that rolls almost got confused. Great video, Sophia. Thanks.

Ah good luck with the shoot Gareth!
@@SophiaCarey Thanks Sophia, been watching your videos to prepare 😁
Lovely video :) always good to see the great man at work!

Sophia this one is so so cool!! I really enjoyed it a bunch!!
Ah I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
@@SophiaCarey yes I did a LOT!!! Thank you for making it!!
Great documenting and shots!!👍
Good shots Alex and great to see the RB67 being used, But that dress at the end of the shoot was gopping, to say the least.
Nice, really nice! Lovely studio space and a strong and powerful concept. Very entertaining to watch! I've paid special attention to the lights he was using, but wasn't able to see the power output of his overhead softbox light. Do you happen to know what light he used as an overhead?

Wow I've loved this guy's work for awhile now. Shocked he doesnt use strobes!
Alex is brilliant, isn’t he! And yeah me too!
love love love this video!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing shoot. Didn’t see you meter for the RB
He’s so sweet omg
I was already following him on ig so I was familiar with his work!! It's really nice!! Love it!!
Isn’t he amazing! Thanks for watching!
I love the spaaace!!!
loved this video !! 💯😁 , really helpful
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!

What a nice video! Thank you for putting this together! You have a new follower! )))
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great energy!, good job team
His work is outstanding!
i love how he wanted to advance the film at 01:16
Hahhaha I didn’t even notice that 🤣
What film stock was used ?

What app on his phone did he use to see the exposure
Great Video !
Thanks for watching!

Great video! What film was he shooting on?
Fantastic videos, i like the vibe here
Sophia, how do i know i am using the right light?
What type of lights do you think work best with color gels on?
amazing video!! did he use only film cameras, I’m also wondering which cameras he was using throughout the video.
Yes he did! He mentions the cameras throughout the video but from the top of my head he was using a Mamiya RB67 for 120 film, Canon EOS 3 (I believe, but might have been a different model) for 35mm film and a Polaroid camera (unsure of model).

Amazing video! Do you know what lens he had on the mamiya?
I believe it was the 90mm!
Love this bts, it's so informative as I'm learning how to do photo shoots!
Sophia, was the beauty dish light active? Hard to tell as was gridded. If it was I’m assuming it was a fill light?
Yes I believe it was, at least at the beginning of the shoot! But the grid did diffuse it to the point where it wasn’t much of an addition
Just came across your channel, really engaging content. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
So are you shooting in digital to get the right exposure and then use those settings on the film camera?
A good reminder to use a second camera on a photoshoot. Thanks.
Nice video, only wish that every time he took a shot you would have shown it on the screen... and also would have been nice if the model had a mic 🎤 case the audio wasn't great...
Wow wow wow

Hey , which Polaroid was it ? also your documentary has a Netflix type of quality
wow, nice
Was there any editing done to the photos? if so what kind? this is awesome!
That’s really impressive
The rate of focusing he was doing is just remarkable, it takes me like good 2 minutes to find the right focus 😭.
Hahaha me too 🤣 especially when I’m using the RB instead of the RZ
@@SophiaCarey 😭 so I was trying to experiment and got rz ii and rz ... it got extra difficult to focus on rz after rz ii 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. But he fast fast like damnn
Unique way to hold the camera for a portrait shot.
How do you hold it?
@@SophiaCarey @0:42 not like that. People keep their hand on the grip like they are shooting landscape, but twist their wrist from the bottom or top.
@@jackofblades6736 Who cares? 😶
Is he only shooting with constant lights??
In this video, yes he is!
good job
What did he use to check if he was exposing properly???? ANYONE??
A digital camera
10 rolls ???? is crazy for one shoot
continious light REALLY? NO FLASHESSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!! 😧
35mm & medium format rivals digital.
13:48
