Digital too blue, pervades everything in the scene. Film cleaner and crisper. Thanks for the charming presentation.

I like the yellow look, I always tweak the color on my scans….color correction sets then tone

Last spring I did a workshop where one of the educators who shoots a lot of asian weddings explained to me that Fuji films emulsion is actually based around getting the skin tones correct for asian people and Kodak's is based around caucasian skin tones. The lab that scanned your film likely reduced the yellow and upped the magenta to get you a more accurate skin tone for your friend. Fuji film has extra cyan layer and magenta base, where as Kodak Portra films have a yellow base. I'm not implying that they can't both be used for any skin tone, I'm just saying that is what they were trying to acheive when the film emulsion was designed. If you think about the fact the Fuji film is made in Japan and Kodak in the US this makes complete sense. Personally I think you should reduce the yellow in the images a little bit it's a little too much IMHO. My wife found your youtube channel we like it! Keep up the good work!

I personally prefer warm tone when it comes to portraits, I tried Fuji film a couple of times now, and I think it looks nice in certain situations, weddings for example, a lot of wedding photographers like Fuji’s slightly green tone because often the time there are a lot grass, tress and plants in the frame… Fuji dose amazing job rendering green… anyways thank you for watching my videos :)

Thanks Sam! Lovely portraits! I don’t think the color of the Portra 400 film is really my preference, but I love the lighting, locations, and model direction you did. Thanks for taking us along for the shoot! And if you do dive deeper into the scanning process sometime, I would love to hear about it; so far I have had a lot of trouble getting good scans of my negatives on a flatbed at home.

I haven’t been getting very consistent results from my home scan, once I figure out a better work flow, I’ll be definitely make a video about scanning~ thank you watching as always ☺️

I see you said in the video that you use the cameras meter to get your exposure for these images. Which metering mode do you use? Spot, Evaluative or ceter weighted? I just bought this same camera and lens and think this would be a good starting point for me.
@itscapturedbysam6 ай бұрын
I most of the time use center weighted, sometimes I’ll use spot to check skin tone if the lighting is more complicated. I think the meter on this camera is pretty reliable, I’d start from center weight and see how they turn out, you can adjust from there :)

I have 2 rolls of very expired 35mm Portra 400 NC and 4 sheets of new Portra 400 4x5 in the darkroom lab right now. I shot the 35mm in Seattle streets in the rain last week. I walked 5miles that day and yes I was soaking wet. Which made for a long Ferry boat ride and three hour drive home. Going back next month in better weather. The 4x5 are on location Portraits. Can't wait to see them soon. Oh plus I shot one roll of Cinestill 800 in Seattle.

Wow that’s a lot!! Let me know if you like the Cinestill 800~
“Should or shouldn’t you edit film photos” is a bad question. Not many great photographers, if any, are great for capturing the “true” color in their works. Why? Because it doesn’t mean anything even if you do. Nothing is 100% true. The way colors show in a picture is determined by so many factors - type of film, scanner, temperature, security check x-rays, just to name a few. Any photographer who is not too ignorant to realize what’s going on in the creative process knows those who think they are being “honest” by not editing their film photos are either lazy amateurs mesmerized by the film look without post, or second handed poets deceived by their derivative film-era nostalgia.

I feel the same, digitizing process is editing already. It really comes down to how much control you want over your images~ and to what extent we consider “editing” is editing~
