Fashion Portraits on Medium Format Film // Mamiya RB67

[@whoschrischu]

It was so great to be outside again for an outdoor shoot! Look out for more of these, but definitely gonna try to do one fully on Fuji Pro 400H

[@ragp9111]

Hi! men I would like to know what type of fonts (typography) you use for the thumbnails of your videos

[@Thoughts_and_Tales]

I am a simple man, I see Mamiya RB67 in the title... I click.

[@whoschrischu]

A tool built for champions

[@DomnulFisk1]

"You can look at the back of my Hyundai" is the most underrated joke of 2020

[@caseyjmoreno8653]

This might be my fav vid of yours so far. and them shots be lookin' fllyyyyy my dude.

[@whoschrischu]

thank you thank you!!!

[@caseyjmoreno8653]

Chris Chu of course dude! It’s dope seeing people give the RB some luv

[@JonathanOgdenMusic]

Amazing portraits! And the behind the scenes is so well shot too 👌

[@whoschrischu]

thanks, bro!

[@jamescharlesjamili1930]

It makes me feel like "lets go out and shoot"

[@austingarciaa]

one of my favorite up and coming film youtubers, keep it up

[@whoschrischu]

Wow, thanks!

[@peshkin]

loooove these photos!

[@lukeforte1328]

Great vid! what lens(es) did you use in this video?

[@nandusankar]

You are the most underrated photography channel on KZbin imo. Sick vid mate!

[@whoschrischu]

Legend! I really appreciate that, being underrated is actually such a high compliment

[@Project_2501]

You should definitely check with your lab if they are able to provide TIF-files or 16-Bit JPEGs, since that format does exist by now. It would be a shame to waste all the money for Portra and then get only 8-Bit JPEGs! But the good thing is, that you still got the negatives and send them to a different lab, in case they f'ed it up in the first instance.

[@kamaltung3117]

Wow. Can't wait to get out and shoot! Glad I found this channel

[@whoschrischu]

let's goooo!! Get out there!

[@Nestorico-m8i]

Very good pictures: I am interested on buying a RB67 but I have heard this model has a lot of mechanical troubles so you must take it to repair frecuently , is it true? does it worth it? thx

[@luissalazar2021]

What is your favorite lenses for the Rb67? Please ,thank you for sharing

[@ruffprophetproductions]

beach shots came out really nice! I think the blown highlights on the dress work here

[@skullzalliances]

Love the video bro, where'd you get those amazing film transitions from at around 4:05 ?

[@BetoAlves]

I love to shoot in medium format! And film photography has that tones, textures and colors that are so beautiful!

[@whoschrischu]

The texture and colors are sooo different. I really understand that "digital look" that people talk about now, and although it doesn't bother me like others may feel, I can definitely see the difference and I really like it

[@BetoAlves]

@@whoschrischu Soooo diferent for sure! I love digital too but film will always get my heart! And if you shoot film constantly there's no way you can't see the difference! Thank's for the answer man!!

[@bllntd]

So good! Hope you make more videos like this

[@whoschrischu]

Thank you! Will do!

[@King-zo4vv]

Fire video as always man, love it!!!!

[@mikifrances-correia1328]

You should think about scanning with your dslr with a macro and using negative lab pro to convert - you'll have a lot more control to mess around with your film images after.

[@PlayFactoryYT]

i like the thought that goes into shooting with film. more intentional that digital camera . great video !

[@josephsabio]

How did you know to overexpose by one stop? Or was that just an experiment. I’m trying to learn 😁

[@myhandlewastaken]

I find that success rate is either held to a standard for exposure, or is very subjective and based on how we feel about the images. I don't know if a true success rate is achievable without bias.

[@andyvan5692]

one note on the 'outro', the piece sign is with the PALM FACING US!!, the way you did it, looks like a (discrete) rude finger!!, as the hand is facing the SAME way!!

[@ivunchow]

great vibes here, nice photos!

[@Danlandoni]

What are you using to meter? +1 stop doesn’t change much of anything on Portra or 400H. Some of these look like +4. Worth noting that a lot of labs aren’t properly creating ICC look up tables and the color correction is left to their own interpretation. Get flat scans from the lab, don’t let them apply any sort of contrast, saturation, or tonal curves. The difference between an 8 bit JPG and 14 bit TIFF is nominal on a nice flat scan. Or just pick up a V600 and do it yourself. Medium format scans are a breeze even on flatbeds.

[@whoschrischu]

yeah I overexposed by +1 stop and I metered for highlights. Definitely gonna try out TIFF's in my next scans

[@niganools1502]

Hey what lenses were used during this shoot!

[@Levi_Mark]

Really luv this channel and Content creator! Keep it up!!!

[@katerineocampos]

Love everything! The sea series are my fave 💫

[@ZDoreTyr]

Subscribed, thank you so much for the beautiful music, instead of looping lofi in the background for 10 minutes 😭 Photos were great! I love the atmosphere you created.

[@nottodayisay]

4:40 💙 I'm gonna shamelessly steal that pose

[@whoschrischu]

doooo ittt!!!!

[@WilliamGilbertt]

Hi Man, great video! When you say you're metering for the highlights, do you mean the brightest part of the frame or the brightest part of the subjects face? Also what are you using to meter? Thanks!

[@singleviewer1393]

Vibes Are on Fire

[@enbyinjapan466]

Dang, those were really good shots! I love seeing the behind the scenes of photoshoots.

[@anthonyperez6342]

Okay seriously love the music also! Where did you get it? The first one?

[@gabrysgabriukas]

Amazing pictures! I really liked the sea series :)

[@chrismehmet3463]

Great portraits man! Definitely feel inspired to keep shooting + post videos on my channel!

[@whoschrischu]

let's goooo!!!!

[@demkadeem]

If you ask for .tiff files you can do a lot with those images. It’s basically like a .raw file. Fyi and the image is flatter so you can color it your way !

[@whoschrischu]

for sure, will definitely do that next time

[@zguy95135]

Lab scans are usually pretty high contrast, I guarantee you that all that highlight detail is all there on the film.

[@TheAsianCalvinC]

Your sense of lighting on film is soo on point

[@whoschrischu]

awww thanks, bro!!

[@YannickRoos]

great stuff dude. these medium format photos look sick!

[@whoschrischu]

Glad you like them! more to come!

[@stevenhkim]

BANGER

[@jeongdenis4091]

Hi from France! Awesome video! This camera is a tool for sure, built for success! I have a question about the film. You marked that it was overexposed +1 stop, but how do you process it in the lab? at 400 or at 200 ISO? Thanks for the great content, it is a pleasure to watch it!

[@cameramansam3240]

Beautiful work. The tones you created on the beach with p4H were sick 🤟

[@whoschrischu]

yess another fan of Pro 400H

[@theboringkaren]

I would be obsessed with that camera! I love how the photos turned out!!

[@whoschrischu]

You should totally invest in the Mamiya RB/RZ system. The glass selection is unreal sharp, plus rotating back....cmoooon

[@theboringkaren]

@@whoschrischu Can't argue with that! Haha!

[@xeroframes]

My man back at it again. Never dissapointed with your content But yes. Join us film photography bois

Killer content man keep it up!!

[@someonewithsomename]

07:30 that's the reason I scan the film myself nowadays, actually.

[@ShaSaw]

Just found your channel 😍 your work and videos are amazing

[@jonfondeur1291]

was wondering what lens you were using!

[@whoschrischu]

Mamiya K/L 90mm f/3.5!

[@SamSilk]

Very nice images. I'd like to try medium format but I'm kinda lost between the various Mamiya and Pentax options (Hasselblad would be too expensive)

[@whoschrischu]

I highly recommend the Mamiya setup (no bias) because of its lens choices. Greatest go-around Mamiya is the Mamiya 7, and the RB/RZ system are incredible for portraits (no bias)

[@SamSilk]

@@whoschrischu Thanks Chris

[@DonFather]

It's time to do your own scanning with a DSLR & negative lab pro maybe. Those photos on the beach were sick. Wouldn't want to leave it all up to the lab

[@ehvisuals]

Love it! I shoot on my RB as well - Obsessed w ur videos, hopefully I can make some like yours some day :)

[@MSV94]

2:35 was very nice, chill vibes and not too posed👌

[@whoschrischu]

oh yeah, that was def one of my faves.

[@joemorleyphotocinema]

How were those beach ones so bright? The lighting looks so dark! Was it lighter than it looks on video? These are so good, your channel is really great

[@someonewithsomename]

video uses longer shutter speeds and higher isos usually

[@TheAsianCalvinC]

You should do a pro photographer, cheap camera challenge I think it’d be fun lol

[@whoschrischu]

that is one of the quintessential videos that all YT photographers must do haha

[@johnjewell219]

Hi do you develop negs and scan them,🎉th en digitise them

[@johnjewell219]

And do you then print them from the computer,like a digital camera photo ,or do you old school print them ?? Thanks John😎

[@Goe96]

Did You overexposed the shot itself or u asked the lab to overexpose the process? Lovely work mate

[@whoschrischu]

I overexposed 1 stop on every light reading (exposed for highlights), and it was blown out. It's definitely possible that it was my fault haha

[@youlovechika]

you’re so inspiring

[@whoschrischu]

you're one of the players that helped get me there

[@vncentb]

So dope 😭🔥

[@thatdavidhuynh]

What camera was this video shot with?

[@whoschrischu]

Canon EOS R!

[@eduardoprudencio5427]

Contact your lab for tiff files if you can pay for higher resolution! Maybe you could invest $180 for a v550 scanner and scan it to have a higher resolution!

[@andyvan5692]

yes, at 8:12 there is a difference if a lab does it, as they assume N = 0 development, ALL the time, if you say NOTHING, and if you over exposed, probably an under development might have been a good thing ?( N - 1 {stop}; N-2); one other way is to say it to the lab, by saying you "exposed this at iso xxxx ", being the 1 or 2 stops over exposed you did ie: if one stop, and BOX speed is 100, then say I metered this @ 200 then they "get it", and do the right thing, KNOWING what YOU did on the camera!!- and that it was INTENTIONAL, not an 'amateur' mistake with your metering!! ( that is to adjust the contrast of the scene in front of you, the light that fell on it, so as NOT to get a flat photo, but one that 'pop's' ).

[@heshanahmedjoy5334]

First😀

[@andyvan5692]

good shoot, and nice model 🙂 but two errors in the first 5 minutes, that I noticed, first, you didn't wind_on properly, NOT only one cycle of the film winding handle, takes 5 or 6 to allign the first frame (number 1); second error, at aprox 5 minute mark, beach shoot, you have the "multi-exposure mode ON!- you CAN multi expose with this switch this way, the "safety system" is OFF, the shutter WILL fire regardless if you wind on or NOT; however, if the RED dot is COVERED, the shutter will NOT fire, unless a wind-on occurs ( red 1/2 marker on film back goes away)- this is a Second warning flag, to say "you are in iminent danger of double exposing this shot!!" so be careful, this is a MANUAL camera and every step matters, and is crutial to getting a good shot.

[@excedievincechannel7219]

Wow shout out

[@melon-ql7kh]

Its weird that I know the model in real life.

[@ryanhamblin2498]

most likely your scans were not properly handled. Rescan your negatives and see what you get

[@whoschrischu]

yeah it really seems that way, I'm gonna re-scan them for sure, plus get TIFF's too next time

[@jairomelara1308]

Not sure why you had her put her hands up in front of her face at 4:35 . Thats just really awkward and unnatural. No one walks around like that.
