Took the Pentax 67 and Hasselblad 500cm to Malibu with Kodak Portra 400. For this shoot i wanted to play with both cameras but the Hassi won on this one. I want to thank my good friend Ali for killing it with the poses. I hope you all enjoy this one. Thanks again to B&H Photo for sponsoring this video!

Hi Mike. I had a lot of experience with both cameras in the '70's on to a couple of years ago. I loved the Pentax 6X7 for my art projects that I was doing because of the nice big negatives gave me great 16x20 B&W prints. But when I started my wedding photography career...the Hassy was the system to get. Eventually I sold my 3 bodies and six lenses. Looking back, I should have kept both systems! -Joe

I used both also as a pro fashion shooter. I had about 6 pentax bodies because one was always being repaired and assistans were always loading one or 2 as we shot. One was needed just for the polaroid back. The 165?? leaf shutter lens was needed for flash. 300mm lens was great but flair prone. Blads were better because of the backs and Leaf shutter lenses. Clients couldnt understand why i would get a light stand leg or reflector in the shot because of the square format that would then be cropped for a magazine page. Nice to not have to turn the camera on its side like the Pentax also which takes us to the Mamiya Rz. Great camera for fashion and so much more advanced than the Blads. I still hhave a 553 and a 503 blad though . I used to shoot for the mags with a ELM Moon camera also for a bit of fun.

I like the way you style your shoots.......heavy on the vintage LA look of the 1940's, 70's, and 80's.......the laundromat, I think you did one at a hotel, the family out in the desert, and this one near the beach. I would imagine that it's getting more and more difficult to find these unspoiled/undeveloped locations.......especially in and around L.A. Perfect choice of vehicle with the 1987 SL. Love Ali's look and overall vibe. It's evident the chemistry you two have working together.
