Mamiya RB67, Sekor C 180 4.5, Kodak Ektar





Fuji GX680, Fujinon GXD 180 3.2, Kodak Ektar





Hmm. For some reason I can't see the images after hitting submit. Everything is A-OK in the preview. What am I doing wrong, can someone tell me?

Wonderful photographs. Seeing such amazing portraits I keep thinking why do I even bother Wink. But seriously, you have presented fantastic captures of beautiful models with perfect film colours.

By the way where are you from Marcin, since your name suggests PL?

Cheers
Mateusz

Since you seem to be liking my gals, here's a couple more for your enjoyment Wink

Both shot on Kodak Ektar with Fuji GX680 and Fujinon 180 3.2. Hands down the best portrait combo out there, and believe me, I've tried many many others.





Also, yeah I'm from Poland - a mixed blessing at best I'd say...

Ridiculously good photos. Can you tell me more about your process?
I jumped back into film with a vengeance recently (See thread below) and I am loving it to bits, but have to relearn how light works again. hahah.

Really amazing work.
But I think the Ektar is not optimal for skintones.
In this case Portra or Fuji NPH is better.

Thanks again, happy you like them, because, well, as it happens, I like them too :D

You mean process of shooting or proces of processing?
I take it it's the former. ;)
My process is pretty simple. I set up lights, fire a couple digital frames to get the feel of the lighting, then a couple of polaroids on the real camera. If I'm happy (which I'm usually not, not right off the bat anyway) I'll take several frames of film. Rinse and repeat :)

There are several reasons that make Ektar perfect for my purposes.
First, it's the only c41 film in production that's rated ISO 100. I work in a studio, usually with lots of lights, and I have hard time to get the aperture to open wide. And I always shoot wide open, to get as much of the shallow dof as I can. Personal preference.
Second, it's very oversaturated, especially in reds. That makes it easy to make the skin stand out (talking caucasian skin of course, but in my geographic location it's a rare case I get to shoot anyone of other skin colour variants). And also, when converting to black and white (as I almost always do with my photos) it makes it that much easier to control skintones.
And third, it has an interesting quirk, that gives me some extra fun. When underexposed it tends to turn into greens. When overexposed it goes magenta. It makes for some interesting colour combinations.

Also, define "better". For me "better" means more interesting, or easier to work with ot whichever of the reasons I gave above. Portra and Fuji Pro 160NS (the last of the "N" series, all other were cancelled some time ago, along with Superia Reala, which was also good for my game, altough nowhere near as good as Ektar is) make great natural colours, almost as good as positive film - Portra especially reminds me of Kodachrome, really cool. But I am not really interested in natural. If my clients wanted natural, I'd tell them to look into mirror :) Luckily, no one likes their natural. They prefer the extraordinary. And that is what I provide. In spades, usually :)

Ok, hope I didn't bore y'all to death. Have a couple more of my girlies, for your enjoyment ;)

I really like it! Thanks for sharing. I am used to shooting natural/available light only, but direct sunlight can make things pretty flat. I like the vibe I get from your photos. Almost otherworldly... so I was curious how you achieve that.
