No push film?just box speed developing?

Hey! Urgent question. What do you have below the flash/ mounted on the grip??

Why would you underexpose a person by one stop if they have very light skin, the zone system says you should actually overexpose that person by one stop because light skin falls in zone VI and you metered for Zone V

Just purchased one of these units.takes you back to when you were a kid with your old Polaroid. But with a way better lens

You need to get away from the Amateur look ! Get that Flash off the camera. Flat light is the Enemy here.If working at night then at least use several flash guns with radio slave.

With 6x7 Pentax you will be out of Sync unless you use the 90mm old Pentax lens with leaf shutter.To much trouble to use anyway. Take a Hasselblad instead if you are planning portrait work with fill flash.

Hi Joe - love these... are the SP shot on the 50mm 1.4?

One of the view videos on youtube w this lens. Thank you for sharing! Crazy but my favorite portraits are the ones at the end when the flash wasnt flashing...

Helpful practical info, thanks

the 105 is too short for portraiture and makes the nose look too big. try a 150 or 165!

The man at 4:03, was this done with natural light only?

Use an incident flash meter like the seconic L 308, and bounce the flash off the cieling or a wall. Or better yet, use a softbox, gridspot or two!

Bounce the flash off the cieling so the photos don't look like shit!

FYI when using reflective/spot metering darker skin is below middle grey...what you said was more light was needed for darker skin which is the opposite of what is correct. Spot metering dark skin would put it 1/2 to 1 stop brighter than it actually is so you would close your aperture to compensate, not open it ... if someone is REALLY white skinned then they might be closer to zone 6 or one stop over middle gray so you would open the aperture to correct of the spot metered middle gray reading. That being said when using incident metering like you are here it is measuring the light falling on the subject so you don't need to compensate for anything except for some specific scenarios like maybe a really bright snow day where light is reflecting from unusual directions and could trick the reading. People get on their KZfaq rants about doing it right and then they don't know how to do it right :)

Great video & photos Joe! Hope the cheffing is going well!

Have you seen or tried the mint tl70 plus? wondering if they render similar results for a fraction of the price of buying a full on kit + instax back.

These look incredible.

Beautiful work and quite lucky to find the gorgeous Model. The RB work is beautiful! Thank you

Joe, I'm amazed at the results of your Instagram survey. To me it is the end result (ie, the quality of the image) that is the most important. I make a point not to follow KZfaq photographers who consistently post bad images no matter how informative or entertaining they are. Yes, I like hearing how the image was made but if the example is a plain old snapshot that any 8 year old could take without thinking about composition and exposure, I won't subscribe. You notice I'm still a subscriber to your channel. That's because I like your images.

You look $1M! Kudos Joe.

Nice effort! hint: try to level your shots. its distracting from the subject and gives a feeling of sloppy framing...

Cool. I like the contrast of the FP4plus.

i cant wait to get one! just got an rb67 kit.

Thanks for the video. Your Portraits of Strangers reminds me of Richard Avedon's "In the American West" project. I have never used the 127mm on my RB67. For portraits, I use the 90, 140, 180, and 250mm lenses.

I’ve been doing film for close to two years now, digital photography for 10, I didn’t actually know that metering was for gray this whole time and this is really going to help with learning flash and exposure for film. Thank you!

Sorry mate, your explanation of ambient light metering is super confusing. Ambient metering measures the intensity of light falling on the area you have the meter. Subjects that are darker than neutral gray will be darker, while subjects that are lighter than neutral gray will be lighter. It offers a consistent measurement that is not affected by the tone or color of a scene.

@6:17, if you get an incident (INCIDENT) reading like you did ( dome on , meter under your talent chin) you get the actual tonality of the skin, you do not need to lower your exposure for white skin nor increase your exposure for black skin, now what you are talking about with the grey card is reflective meter built in your camera or if you have a Minolta meter that reads flash ( REFLECTIVE) that what gives you the 18% grey ( your meter is nice you point it from your camera position, lens axis, to where you want to measure, like background, so on so forth)….Thank you very much for allowing me to comment on your channel .

This is the reason i want a RB67, need to piece one together. Good stuff Joe !!!

were these 50mm ?

just catching up on your videos, great work.

Nice !!

Great photographs and subjects.

Awesome shots! Would love to own one. BTW, I can hear the tunes playing in the background...nice selections 👍🏾

Very informative, thank you. Have you tried the "Binstax?"

That's pretty nice, Joe. It's a bit on the expensive side at $449, though. Still, a pretty cool piece of kit.

Cool video, got the same setup with the RB67 pro S + 127mm. Did you shot them wide open?

Great roll! I disagree with the poll, I'm absolutely interested in how you create great images! You seem to have a unique talent for capturing special moments and a lot of your photos have a certain feel and quality that I can't quite articulate. I'm way more interested in hearing and learning about how you go about creating that than I am hearing about your gear or camera settings. It could be just where I'm at in my photography journey, but I'm interested to hear more about how you go about approaching people to ask for pictures. We chatted a bit about it on facebook and I completely understand your hesitancy to share about it. I'm just not confident about my approach yet and the very few approaches I have tried have been unsucessful, so I'm looking to improve. You're my favorite photographer, thank you for sharing everything that you do, I appreciate you! Have a great day man!

How’s the focus patch? And how easy is it to focus precisely? I’ve and used several Leica M and find the Nikon appealing but don’t want to be stuck at range focus.

The shot of the meatball son is so good. Ooozing character. When you talk about shooting at box speed, does that mean setting your light meter to the ISO of your film and using that to set your exposure or are you talking about something else?

Thank you

Good stuff. This is what happens when a very authentic photographer meets a very authentic Pizzaiolo. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Nice pizzas too. 🤙🏽

This makes me so happy And I have to say this guy is the best photographer I ever met really this pic are piece of art Thank you!

Awesome portraits as is your norm. I was wondering what film you used for the shots. T-Max 100? FP4?

Proof that black and white portraits will live for ever !!!

Great shots Joe! I enjoyed seeing outtakes of the woman in the white shirt (ones you hadn't shared on FB.) With your setup on the street, do people get curious and stop to ask what you're doing or do you mostly stop people to ask to take their portrait?

Great stuff as per norm. Saw your van fam shots on FB already, but the other stuff was new. Great inspiration from all three shoots. Glad to see you doing street, night portraits again. Looking forward to your next one. As always, thanks a lot.

I am always happy when you post videos. You are a great inspiration. ✌🏼

Once again, Wonderful work Joe !!

What was the lens used here?

WOW" Amazing shots! You caputured something beyond, a piece of there soul. Loved your comments "close your eyes", "breath with mouth". 10/10
