Good lighting is so much more important than a good camera. Spot on advice there. A large box (or multiple smaller boxes if you're tight on space/headroom), v-flats and other modifiers, the right backgrounds to make your subject stand out, etc. will all go a long way towards helping you take great photos with *any* camera.

That is very good advice on large format portraits. Your right practice, build up speed using the camera, and know your equipment. Also lighting is very important in photography whether working outside or in a studio. When you have mastered the camera, the lighting, know the capability of the film, and know how to manipulate it in the developing process, and all becomes second nature so that you can concentrate on the image that is when you can concentrate on being creative on the image. That is important advice "Practice".

Great advice and thank you. I'm about to take some close portraits of my young children with a Schneider 210 and my Chamonix 45F-2. 15 seconds between composing and shooting may require application of a general anaesthetic but I'm not sure that will give the result I'm after. ;-) Seriously - thank you for this wisdom and I fully agree on lighting as the prime consideration.

Another good lens is the Fuji 250 soft focus lens with both disk: I have one and it is great.

Hello, I recently received a Fujinon 250mm SF lens - used from an eBay seller in Japan. Unfortunately, it only included the yellow dot perforated disk. I have yet to use the lens. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you.

@@NicosPhotographyShow Oddly I noticed years ago that doing portraits with and 8x10 camera and a 305mm lens which is all I had then, did not give you the same funny look that 150mm on a 4x5 does, I wondered what KARSH used and found a photo of him using a Calumet C-1 8x10 which is the best 8x10 ever made. Research found it was his favorite. The photo show him with a lens in an I lex shutter. At the time Calumet sold two lenses for the camera, a 305mm Ektar and 360mm Ektar in Ilex shutter so I assume he regularly. When I had the money I got a lovely 420mm Fujinon rather than the 360 and I love that lens. I no longer have the C-1 as I am too old to lug something that heavy about but I still those lenses and more since I got the light weight INTREPID 8x10. It only has a bellows extension of 550mms so the 420mm isn't great for close ups.

Lighting is everything “the light itself creates the emotional access to everything that you see….in the end light is always your key protagonist.” Vincent Peters 2007

@andyvan5692 10 ай бұрын

yes, good advice, but if you can't afford the lighting, rent a studio, and bring the camera with you, they most likely will rent you the lighting and the space, Plus if it is a photo school studio, you could get darkroom time included to, so see what you can get. this will help, but one idea is to get familiar with the gear, shoot architecture, still life or landscape First, they don't move!!, so you can determine what the technique fault is, then you know you can do it, and explain to them it takes time, so offer a coffee, etc. afterwards, as a reward for their patients.

You really need to work on your pronunciation of French names 😆 I have seen a video of her at her studio with a Sinar 8x10 and what I presume was a 300mm lens. Your advice about light is spot on.

My French… is not good, I agree. Good to know she uses a Sinar, she has good taste.
