How to take MOODY PORTRAITS (Behind the Scenes - Hasselblad X2D Lightweight Portrait Kit)

Күн бұрын

In this photography tutorial, I shoot two portrait photoshoots, one in a studio with flash lighting and the other mixing ambient light with flash in an environmental portrait using the Hasselblad X2D Medium Format camera and the lightweight portrait kit.

Brilliant video. So good to see a pro at work and the shots - both how they were taken and the results, are phenomenal. I don't do portraits, so I bought the earlier kit, the Adventure Light Field Kit, X2D, XCD 45p, XCD 4/21 which is AMAZING! The firmware update (v2.0) added live histogram as well as focus peaking and a number of other great things. The X2D is just wonderful. Thanks for another super video.

Wow - what an incredible channel! There's plenty of gear focused videos out there on the internet, and there's also some good motivated lighting stuff but rarely do they combine the details of why you are choosing to shoot in a certain and very intentional way. It's usually either quite washy as to why the lighting and positioning choices are made or it's all about the gear and technical details but this is probably the best blend I have ever seen and the images are just phenomenal too. Instant sub!

Another great job. Please, can you tell me if you can customize the white balance on the X2D by shooting at a gray card, does the cam copy this? I don't see it in the menus of the manuals I've read. Greetings!

There's a few videos I'd wish for or like you to do. 1) A full on portrait post processing video showing the exact " constant" steps/procedure you use every time. 2) A colour portrait taken with the intention of producing the best contrasty black and white image from said colour image capture. Again, highlighting every step you'd use in order to achieve this contrasty image.

With the Hasselblad you don't have to switch each time from AF to MF after and before AF focusing, you simply remain always in MF and AF refocus when needed with the AF back button while staying in MF

Word of caution for the having the fabric close to the light setup - turn the modeling lamp off or the fabric will catch on fire. Speaking from experience. If you use those foam core boards, especially the black ones, be careful as well, they are extremely flammable.

Hi Mark, Watching your video I noticed that you use a Pixapro ST111 trigger on your X2D camera with Godox flash units. I have spent hours trying to find a trigger for Off Camera flash using Godox flash units on my X2D camera. Could you please help me and verify the exact name of the Trigger unit and assure me it works with Godox flash, mainly the AD200 Pros. I would really appreciate a reply on this matter. Michael

You can drop me your adress by mail or I‘ll just look for you. England, right? Alright, see you monday! Edit: I checked. Monday is no good. Letˋs say Friday around noon.

I have found there are no rules in art. It is all in the eye of the beholder some might consider what you did as art while others may think of it as a snapshot on a multi thousand dollar camera and consider it over kill.
