Hasselblad vs. Mamiya: Portraits in Studio

[@PaweBanczak]

Man, I loved when your mentor stepped in and told you about that light 😁

[@juliansingletary]

You killed it for your first time bro!!!!!!!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

thanks bro!

[@amaimani]

Enjoyed the fun part while doing some serious photogrpahy. Great episode

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks Abdul.

[@stephenobisanya]

Jake came through and bodied it 😂 What a great episode! And to see how quickly Mike has come with his work.

[@huh736]

I wish I had this kind of guidance. More of like a field day through my peers or connections

[@MikeGrayFilm]

It’s definitely a blessing man

[@HayesPeterson]

Best Channel I've found all year. And a Tyler Shields appearance. DOPE

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Damn Hayes. Thank you!!

[@HayesPeterson]

@@MikeGrayFilm For Real man, you have a natural flow on camera. I hope you stay with it man, and if you're ever in Portland hit me up.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

I’m in it 100% man. Can’t back out now haha. I most definitely will. Thanks again!!

[@leafsfan71]

Is that Tyler's Ferarri???! Daaaayyyuuuuuummm!!!!

[@mathieurabary]

"I didn't know what the hell I was doing" 😂 I feel your struggle man haha Really cool mood and dope to be able to follow your learning journey!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Haha it was painful, but I learned so much! I appreciate you man.

[@victor05052001]

I love all of you. the best photography channel💜💜

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thank you

[@inkaststudio]

What an entertaining episode. Bruh, I’m truly looking forward to following your journey!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

That means a lot bro. I appreciate you for watching!

[@gallerybygeve3217]

“I wish I brought Miso soup with me” 😂😂😂

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Lmao

[@bobsykes]

Your channel's fun! I've never used studio strobes, either. I can relate!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Haha it’s a journey

[@stephendixon8575]

I felt your pain! There’s nothing more stressful (in this context) than struggling with technical shit (especially with people watching) when you know that the really important stuff you should be focusing on is creating an interaction with and giving direction to your subject, so you can come up with ideas based on what you’re getting back. Well I’d say you appeared to keep your cool a lot better than most people would have done, or if not your just good a hiding it! Question: if you’re so new to photography, what’s your background that gave you the skills you need to use photoshop etc? Enjoying the journey 👍

[@ZakariaBennaoui]

real fun video, and good job with the shots both of you.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks a lot Zakaria!

[@vanodyssey1659]

Surely you have enough ambient light coming through that MASSIVE OPEN DOOR? I mean...!?

[@Narsuitus]

Even though the content did not match the title, it was a good video. Loved the 4-car garage photo studio. Would love to see how the studio is used to capture full-length portraits of vehicles.

[@KillaTuba]

Hey Mike if been looking at upgrading to medium format from Canon. I currently cant afford true medium format would you recommend the X1d- ii50C

[@Yeticomoelvaso]

Dude! This video is hillarious! Just subscribed to your channel, you're amazing! Keep it up!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks so much man! lol I appreciate it.

Don't listen to people sayin' you can't convert color neg film to black and white because they clearly don't know that you can put a color neg film in a black and white enlarger... as you say your the artist so do as you please ! you killed it !

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks so much! I agree with you all the way!

[@pablocantatore9074]

hee, what kind of film magazine is this for the H5D? :)

[@afromalone]

Really enjoyed this one. Great to see what can be done with one light and how experienced/pro photographers do it.

[@srenjepsen3723]

Haha! Leaning by doing... you're on the right path!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Haha the best way man! Learning so much.

[@seaNxgil]

Its cool to see how pro pics turn out but i think its cooler to see how amateur pics comeout too. Nice stuff man subscribed

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks for the sub!

[@blakeaghili5033]

Oh cool Tyler Shield showed up ! Nice

[@tor2919]

Love Hasselblad. So good

[@rugbyboy32]

I love your down to earth nature, really refreshing to see

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thank you.

@@MikeGrayFilm welcome man, keep up the good work

[@ducatitastic]

First time shooting film with strobes? You did fantastically well especially as you had little to no help. You'd nail it in a rematch, well done Mike.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Yea man it was! Thanks so much!!!!

[@nicorama8564]

Dude, I do love your work, Keep it up!

[@andressapereira7897]

You got a fan here !!!!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thank you for joining the family!

[@T.antonovas]

Hasselblad !!!!

[@itsjantore]

Enjoyed it man! Digging the honest content. Don't worry about the keyboard warriors in the comment section.

[@chevy2die]

I love your content, but it’s a little confusing what these videos are for big picture. Is this a reality show? We need some narrative at the beginning Mike.

[@westonsmith4572]

You did great. I just found your great videos. Thank you for posting. Cheers from Canada.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks so much Weston!

[@tedsmith_photography]

Nice work guys. That's a great studio for sure. I use that light meter too - it's awesome. Small and simple, and very accurate. Though the title did catch my attention because I thought "There is no "versus" with Hasselblad". Hasselblad every day of the week and twice on Sunday. :-) For me at least...each to his own though hey.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

I like the Hasselblad with the film back all day!

[@mauricemarvel8569]

My brother really out here shooting! Hell yea! I need to test drive Tyler’s whip lol

Love the camera challenge. Have you ever shot with the Holga 120N? That would be an interesting match

[@gallerybygeve3217]

No one else knows this is why I randomly say “I wish I brought miso soup with me”

[@rowanobrien4027]

Loved this video, just about to pick up the hasselblad 80mm I saw you using, any thoughts on how it performs? Looks crazy sharp ❤️

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks a lot Rowan! I’ve used it twice, and both times I have loved the results. Such a great lens for portraits and it is super lightweight so you don’t have to worry about the camera front being too heavy. Yes... VERY sharp as well for film & digital. GET IT! haha

[@jaetok]

You shoot your videos with sony?

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Yea bro. The Sony a7iii

[@garymorrow9324]

Fun...appreciate you messed up..makes me feel better about myself!

Gotta show the world that everything doesn’t have to be perfect! We all have a period of learning. Haha I’m just willing to show mine!

Thanks nick!

[@denniswilliams4789]

Regarding the strobe- In all truth the first test fire would have shown the error and you would have fixed it. Not even a single frame of film would be wasted. Hardly a biggie.

[@sooooooooooos2300]

You never show the full rolle

sorry

[@anseleriksen]

Why do all you American photography hipster have to have lo-fi constantly going in the background of all your videos? It's annoying.

[@pablohill4048]

This has got to be the worst camera comparison ever. You had in your hand 2 of the best film cameras ever made, and your pictures were crap. I personally shoot on a mamiya rb67, why, because I can’t compose a frame on a 1x1 square if my life depended on it. But i want to hear about the lenses, the experience of shooting film with flash, etc. Not this, specially not this...

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks for the comment haha!
