Film Photography with Flash (Don't Be Scared) // Pentax 6x7 & Hasselblad 500cm

For this weeks video I met up with Simon at his home studio to shoot some film using studio lighting and flash. In this video, we used a few different lightning scenarios, cameras, and films to show how to meter with flash. Thank you again Simon for everything!

Felt like I was obligated to comment and let everyone know that sandbags are probably the best call ever when using C stands or other lighting stands. Sandbags and safety cables have saved me an unbelievable amount of money in the studio by saving my gear. Worth every penny and they're usually super cheap as well.

Simon giving off hella Brand from the Goonies vibes with that look.

[@itsjonathanwade]

Has backdrop. . . completely disregards backdrop. Haha nice video boys. Keep up the good work.

I’m not a newbie to shooting film with flash and I’m quite comfortable doing it, but I still felt I learnt something. Great video, Jesse 👌🏽

[@JesseJosephh]

Zain Riza thank you!

[@sednasix6608]

Wonderful, wonderful video - encapsulates everything and is detailed.

[@GavinLyonsCreates]

Looking forward to trying out flash with film, shooting film for quite awhile now but I never ventured into the realm of flash. Thanks for video Jesse!

[@coltonhimmel369]

This was sweet!! Jesse is a model!

[@tylerwinter512]

Amazing!!! Learned a ton!

[@nobraidps]

This was very interesting and has taught me a lot. I'll be doing much more flash photography in 2021 for sure

[@TAWPhotography]

Great tutorial and video!

[@JessicaHTLi]

Very informative video! I feel like I learned something! Wonderful shots too!

[@JesseJosephh]

Thank you! Simon did a great job!

[@corinneallen3036]

great video, thanks for the knowledge

[@giacomanu]

Thanks for the video!

[@behindeachfilmgrain]

I’m impressed that you have actual Polaroid film in hand! It was my go to for flash photography and shooting it as a normal day to day shooting platform! I hope you kept the film negatives so that you can get a larger image scan! Just need to clean the chemicals with bleach and scan away! Great jog guys!

[@JesseJosephh]

Yes we did keep them and bleached them! They came out great!

[@behindeachfilmgrain]

Jesse Joseph you will have to post them on your IG account!

[@navasphotography1729]

Excellent video thank you!! Wish the results would been better. Appreciate the effort and sharing the knowledge

[@Klaus-macht-Bilder_de]

Nice Video - I love the slower paste of the video From my experience the difference between ambient and flash light should be > 3 stops to be save. Even on the 1/30 at the Pentax 6x7 this works w/o tripod. If I do not use the 90/2.8LS my workarround ist a 2 or 3 stop ND Filter and increasing the flash power acordingly.

[@CarmineGroe]

Nice work guys. I love my Hassie 500Cm and Mamiya RB67 on film. The Pentax is intriguing. Why this over the Mamiya 6X7 for example? Thanks!

[@skularatna8136]

How did you manage the 1/30 sync on Pentax 67. For example if I wanted to shoot 105 F2F.4 wide open.. the 1/30 would be a problem no ?

[@issiport5978]

Hey Jesse. Thanks for the video. So if you're using a mounted flash on a film camera (say an old one that doesn't have much light adjustment), you would set your aperture and ISO in the meter, meter, and then adjust the shitter speed accordingly? Cheers!

[@miguelschmid2528]

I really like the look of the video itself - Im curious how you filmed it: is it digitally recorded wirh some special lens/filter setup and just well graded?? it feels 100% shot on film! (is it?) thanks for sharing your insights!!

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

Metering Ilford 3200 at 1000 and developing at 3200, I gotta try that… Great and informative video!!

[@user-gn4rg4so8w]

Great! please tell me which transmitter you've used at digital hassel? I ve got ad200 and wish to fire it up by my mamiya rz without synccable hassle🙏

[@nikitagoldhawk170]

i have an analog flash that works on my dslr but i want to use it off camera cause it doesnt swivel and i want to pop the flash from the side can i just use a sync cable ?

[@Vindexi]

Can you tell me how your lights were positioned for the shot at 19:00 ? Also did Simon mean that he shoots illford delta 3200 at 1000 and then pushes it 2 stops?

[@tylerwinter512]

I’m just having a hard time getting my godox trigger to work in the hot shoe of my ae1, I feel like there’s one button I need to push or one setting that I need to adjust for it to fire, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Amazing video, cameras and pictures!!! 🤜🤛

[@jazzman1892]

How did you get the Hasselblad H5 to sync up? I have the H1, not very much information on what Flash and triggers work with it.

[@jimpurcell]

Picking up leaf shutter lenses for the Pentax helps greatly. They have two.

[@randallstewart175]

The leaf shutter lenses only help if you are trying to balance flash and ambient light. For flash only, it makes no difference. The 90mm LS lens is now very old and the shutter has been unrepairable for 30 years for lack of parts. Same potential issue with the 165mm LS, but it is a newer lens, and a better focal length for portraits. The leaf shutter lenses are slow and cumbersome to manually set for each expsoure. Fine for occasional use, but a hassle for regular use.

[@rumblerodz13]

Definitely learned something from this video!! Really liked the results from the Polaroid back you had in the Hasselblad..those really came out quite well.. enjoyed this one a lot Jesse🤘😎 ( jimbo_rodz13)

[@JesseJosephh]

RumbleRodz13 thank you man! I appreciate it!

[@rhineriversurf5594]

How did he shot the Pentax67 from hand when he need 1/30?

[@MarkHickford]

Yeah, Ilford Delta 3200 is an ISO 1000 film apparently, like Kodak P3200 is an ISO 800 film. Nice shots.

[@benjaminheimmerer3004]

so you shoot at 1000 and develop normal to get the best result?

[@MarkHickford]

@@benjaminheimmerer3004 No, you would have to reduce development times for shooting it at EI (Exposure Index) 1000. The normal development time is for 3200 and would give you a stop and a half or so of overexposure, if you'd rated it at 1000.

[@benjaminheimmerer3004]

@@MarkHickford thanks Jimmy, appreciate it.

[@spencerkr5778]

That is the ISO rating of the emulsions, but they are push-attached films. That's how most film faster than 800 iso works. Kodak is slightly more honest about it, with the P in P3200 standing for "push". So although the photochemical sensitivity might not match box speed, 3200 is a perfectly fine rating to use for both. I shoot P3200 pretty much exclusively, I always rate at box speed though I sometimes meter for shadows.

[@constantinflux]

Great to see the 67 used with flash! If you not mind me asking: what film did you use for the shots following 18:10?

[@jijic.7204]

I have a Pentax 6X7, where I can buy a case like yours? Its a Pelicase? :)

[@JesseJosephh]

Harbor Freight! They have coupons online too and you can get them pretty cheap!

@@JesseJosephh OH my gosh! Realy cool! Thanks!

[@montasirkhandker2674]

Hi, which Polaroid film did you use here?

[@JesseJosephh]

I believe it was FP100

It would have been nice if you hadn't filmed this with a 1990 Sony Handycam :)

[@mendezproductions]

Is good experience but seriously guys you need to learn light direction Besides that you did great

[@jacobfchoward]

Pentax67 flash sync is sooooooo slow.

[@snitzelll3710]

"Don't be scared" *Uses 3000 bucks + camera*

[@JesseJosephh]

Costs money to do things, not sure where you thought photography gear is free 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@louismarucci9056]

I have to lot to say. First, if you want to shoot portraits, learn and use some classic poses and not just the, “ sit and look at the camera” ones used in this video. Second, there’s nothing wrong with 1/30th second flash sync. If you don’t want ambient light filtering in, darken the windows. You say you’re a professional photographer, then dress and act like one. Shave. You may think stubble looks cool but it isn’t. Learn lightening techniques. Don’t just throw some lights up there. I’m old school and glad of it.

[@JesseJosephh]

Shut up
