Clearly there are levels to this. We hit my mentors back yard to test out a $30,000 film camera. Thanks to the homie Jake Cloobeck for the sick introduction to 645.

I thought both of you did great! And you're right about Jake's emotional connection. However, I don't think it's because he stuck with one location. I think it's mostly because he has more experience shooting models? I know when I first started, skipping around was a way for me to fight off my nerves. At the time, I didn't know how to talk to my subjects and I wasn't (still not) a talkative shooter so moving around gave me time to avoid small talk. But once I gained the experience, and my confidence grew, I was able to stay more stationary and connect more with my subjects better. But moving around and being able to get variations from different locations, in a short period of time, is a wonderful skill set to have because in all editorial and advertising work, it's almost a must do. Anyway, love your passion with film photography!

🔥🙌🏼 love your videos! I just got 2 questions, 1)when you meter do you meter for the highlights or shadows? 2) when you get a meter reading with portra 400 do you use the settings that the meter gives you or do you compensate for the shot? I just got into film photography and I’m try get as many tips as possible for shooting portraits. I’ve just been straight binge watching your videos!

It's not a $30k film camera. It's a H5D-50c was $30,000 when it came out in 2014 with the 80mm lens. Taking the digital back off makes it a $6k camera, also known as the H5X. If you want to shoot film at this size, the H1/H2 cameras are the exact same, minus TrueFocus. It does have a really nice light meter in the HVD 90x viewfinder.

Great video as always! I know I'm gonna upset a few people but I find the Mamiya 645 AFD just as good as the Hassy H-series. Sure, you don't get flash sync on all shutter speeds but if you're shooting in natural light you don't need a flash, right? And the price for a complete kit is the same as a Hassy film back (kinda) :)

If you paid close attention,Mike used a spot meter reading in the back ground,and set the camera accordingly,And they never showed him taking a reading during the actual shooting session,does not mean he did not use the meter to get his reading.
