Shoutout to the model for balancing with grace in those crazy poses (with heels)!

[@j.r.2087]

Just this week I was searching for a Mitch Lally constant light video, just to find nothing. Now you've put it out😆 How coincidental

[@philfournier]

Cool shoot bro. High quality post as always. Love seeing the work.

[@MitchLally]

Cheers Phil!

[@octonolite_0]

Man this was a great shoot to watch. Your direction was breezy and effective. You got such great shapes in posing from a very professional model. Excellent.

[@JonSnowxx]

Everything about this is fantastic!

[@MitchLally]

Thank you!!

[@RafaelOrtizPhotography]

The green backdrop and grain is this pic 6:54 is beautiful

[@shaquillenoeltv]

Mitch it’s like you’re in my brain I always wondered what shoots with constant light would look like as opposed to a flash. Thanks for this!

[@adamcook6396]

Those portraits at 3:41 - 3:43 are beautiful! Great work! Had to pause and comment. Was truly breathtaking.

[@dimitarkotsev9234]

Definitely will enjoy hearing about your experience with the GFX and the GF 55 👍

[@CrimRisePhotography]

Fantastic shoot and video. Love the work you've created. Inspiring and motivating. Keep it up!

[@J.R.ClubbPhotographer]

She's really good. Takes great direction.

[@lucasmavinga1454]

What a good video, I love it when you do this kind of content, Brazilian fan 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🙌🏾✨

[@bala1000mina]

Thank you Mitch for sharing, helpful and informative BTS! Good luck!

[@GordoFriman]

The difference between film and digital is brutal! :O

[@flvbbernvggets]

I like how this comment is open to interpretation.

[@GordoFriman]

@@flvbbernvggets unfortunately, it did not start any fire 😂

[@sliceofchristian]

been loving the recent work bro, much more of a fashion vibe

[@MitchLally]

Thanks Christian!

[@hugdeez]

Beautiful shots. Very inspiring

[@jonathan_careless]

Awesome to watch your process.

[@marcelplavec6453]

nice WORK MITCH ...thxx greeting from VIENNA

[@nielsfreidel]

Great Content Mitch as always! Actually really surprised how the Lomo 800 turned out! - like more clean than I usually know it! :) I actually never shoot Lomo800 in middle format, mostly 35mm film...have to give it a try! :)

[@yeungsaufat2566]

Really good pictures,correctly exposure.

[@EZ-lj3hv]

Great light work and outcome indeed.

[@PritishBharti]

Great shoot and video! Do more of these, maybe something like a product shoot.

[@justduit1879]

True photography🥵🔥

[@KevinHPhotography]

That studio 🤌🏼 where are those backdrops from? Also, what were your settings on the X-T5 when you had to use the constant light?

[@SkylerWagoner]

Crushing it dude! Love these portraits 💪💪

[@MitchLally]

Appreciate it!!

[@Zack-Hates-Youtube]

that was amazing dude!

[@yourstrulyeliz]

Beautiful shots ahhh!

[@Havenotats]

Yes my man!

[@lensofliane]

Great work booie ♥ Fireee as always ☺

[@leogabriel37]

This was dope!! as always!

[@vitorpavan1679]

Bro, please make a video about the GFX, would be nice to see how does it keeps up against the RZ67 in a studio shoot.

[@szulzykk]

Damn! So good job for you and a model : ) Inspiring

[@brandon_roland]

I love to see this :)

[@MitchLally]

Hope you’re doing well Brandon!

[@brandon_roland]

@@MitchLally Yes! Busy as usual but chugging along!

[@jamesspicewilliams8835]

Love this video. Just affirmed that constant lighting is not there yet.

[@tropicalwave-C]

cool shooting vibes! 🤙

[@SebaLH]

me encanto el video!

[@steveh8658]

Fun shoot! Constant light is best left for video use or with spotlights/gobo effects. For stills it's just a waste of electricity. Flash is much more efficient.

[@richwinestudios]

Would love to hear your take on the GFX in terms of the 16 bit color depth and editing compared to say, the Canon setup. I've got an R5 as my main camera and recently picked up an X-T5 but have been tempted to get a GFX since you can get more dynamic range from what some KZbinrs have expressed.

[@staLkerhu]

Reading this while I'm sitting here with my EOS RP. 🥲

[@MitchLally]

I don't think 16 bit really matters. Sure while editing 16 bit files are technically going to have less colour banding even if you can't tell to the naked eye there's more colours. But when you render jpgs you're limited to 8 bit - so unless you're routinely printing highly stylised images (and even then) 16 bit has very limited advantages. There could be other reasons I'm not privy to but that's my understanding.

[@richwinestudios]

@@MitchLally True. Was just curious if you noticed a big difference in color grading and dynamic range before the final JPEG processing. Love how the colors look with Fuji’s profiles within Lightroom on my X-T5. 🙂

[@MitchLally]

@@richwinestudiosyeah this is a big reason I’ve landed on Fuji to be honest. Even though Raw is powerful and you can take it any direction you like the starting base and images sooc make me excited about my work.

[@richwinestudios]

@@MitchLally That's great to hear! It's one of the reasons I'm considering switching fully. I've got a decent collection of RF lenses and love my primes as well as the unicorn 28-70 F2 but I agree with many that the X-T5 is just fun to shoot with and while the Canon is a beast, the GFX series seems to have exceptional depth if you aren't needing the fast AF like the Canon. Your work is phenomenal! Appreciate your perspective!

[@ChioriPARIS]

Hi Mitch, great videos! How is xt5 in video?❤ 

[@Davidmckenzie777]

amazing vid

[@nvgante]

Nice video!!

[@thecoconutyam]

hai! What was the first camera you were using in your video? The body looked like a pentax camera

[@NickDelDuca]

Nice shots, Not sure why anyone would use crop sensor Fujis when GFX exists. I just can't bring myself to use one so instead I have FF Nikon and GFX.

[@randomness7053]

Can you try shooting in a studio & outdoor too with strobes?

[@Azkphotography]

For film are you metering for 800 iso or are you overexposing/underexposing the images. Lomo 800 kinda clean for studio shoots😮‍💨

[@MitchLally]

I had my ISO set to 400 effectively overexposing by 1 stop on the evaluative meter on my Fuji. Yes it is very clean - the grain is super fine and in my opinion very pleasing. Lomo 800 and Gold 200 are my go to film stocks for medium format - I would only shoot Portra if I couldn't find any Lomo or I got a particularly good deal on it.

[@KevinHPhotography]

Are you using the 18-55 f2.8-4 “kit lens” with the X-T5?

[@MitchLally]

Sure am!

[@rashidrizvi1339]

I like to know what light you are using

[@newpower9]

Can someone tell me if the color rendition of the xt3 and xt5 is different?? And what are the differences?

[@EnvoyeSHOOT]

we need taht gfx portrait video

[@fnshirokov]

[@YaYousef5]

Now do the same shoot with a 5 year old iPhone in natural sunlight 'cause none of the gear matters when you have a conventionally attractive model who's a pro at posing.
