Shooting Portraits on Medium Format Film - Mamiya RZ67

[@WillemVerb]

Letssss gooooooooo

[@oscar4215234]

Willem Verbeeck you gotta come to nashville when you come to tennessee

[@george_edward_]

the young king himself

[@Fairychild432]

I like that name, "The Young King" it suits you well.

[@PhotoMeLarry]

Your videos are essentially "chill vibes to study to" for photographers. I watch 4 or 5 of em in a row, just for the vibes.

[@mattjamesbenson]

"Shout out to this camera for doubling as a weapon."

[@cameronstallybrass9682]

Nice weapon, and it has a cool photo taking feature which is interesting lol

[@jolijnsnijdersss]

hey good to see u trying out portraits with the mamiya. I do have to say that the scans are a little dull especially the colors. i'm sure this is not how they were scanned in the lab? They seem very desaturated and the light in the video shows a different day, and color temperature. It shows in the video how warm the light that day was.The scans look grey and very cool in temperature. Strange since you were shooting especially in the golden hour? The camera and film do capture this light as is, so I think if you play more with the colors it can make the portraits more strong and come alive. Just my two cents. The shots are bang on though. Disregard this comment if this was your artistic intention. XJ

[@doctorstrobe]

Your reaction when you realize you've been in landscape orientation the whole time is priceless. This camera tends to play that kind of tricks on you very often. Last time, I inadvertently put the shooting mode to multiple exposure and shot at least 10 images on the same frame. There is a little thingie that changes in the viewfinder when you're in portrait mode.

[@2filmshooters]

Awesome video! Mamiya RZ67 is one of my favorite film cameras

[@BingusFodder]

I like how every video involving a 6x7 camera say its a good weapon

[@TonyWodarck]

Love it! Great video and awesome photos. Classic shooting them all landscape haha.

[@georgenorthcutt6774]

They look awesome though!!!!!!!!!

[@jimjimgl3]

Was my main camera on jobs before digital. The RZ was a workhorse and went around the world and never failed (unless I screwed up). The only worry was airport x-ray back in the day. I still shoot personal projects with the RZ but I really miss the polaroid. You could make this sweet little polaroid accordion layouts at the end of the shoot day. Alas, no more. If you can afford, get a handgrip and viewfinder. The viewfinder adds weight but for me such an easier time composing. Nice video and nice portrait work.

[@pilsplease7561]

I use a 645 for jobs. Because Film is still alive and kicking and its more popular than digital is for me.

[@GarryTan]

Wow, this light and how the exposure looks. Nothing like the Mamiya RZ system for this.

[@FramesPerSecond]

I’m curious what happened with the scans that turned out blueish🤔

[@shahn78]

Most of these film pics are quite graded.

[@randallstewart175]

Most of the shots are over exposed and many have a blue cast. So are you saying that he intentionally adjusted his scan process to achieve those results? The over-exposures result from his following the advice of WV, who has some sort of quasi-religious devotion to the practice. The blue/cyan color cast? Who knows. One technical explanation could be DIY processing the film in nearly exhausted blix, but ????

[@smallcutebat]

Favorite one yet! Keep them coming. 🙏

[@endnami]

these turned out soo goood!

[@g_young_h]

Good video guys, and some solid portraits.

[@eedddyyyy]

That last shot you needed to the the Willem trick when flips the RZ upside down over his head lmao

[@coreywolfenbarger8992]

I could barely get this thing in focus brother I would have definitely killed a man trying that advanced move.

[@midwestgrain]

Corey Wolfenbarger hahahahahah

[@stevielove835]

Which light meter are you using?

[@george_edward_]

Keep it up homie! Love your channel. Can't wait to see it blow up

[@gabriellebarcelona8187]

i was expecting the photos to be a lot warmer... the light in the video was beautiful and golden but it didnt resonate in the scans?? was it because of the post or the actual scanning process??? the photos were still great tho! love your vids

[@ethanmiller9130]

anyone else forget to remove the mirror in this camera before running through 3 rolls? because same

[@loopyloomdesigns]

The ones with the greenhouse stuff as the background are amazing haha

[@MJV711]

Awesome video! Would be cool to see a comparison with some more “environmental” Mamiya 7 portraits (if you haven’t sold it yet lol)

[@patrickdaniels4217]

Loving the Music and the whole Aesthetic G! We need to hook up and shoot one day... waiting for new old gear to come in big I'm loving the content...so chill... Its real, Ya boy Pat.

[@alecilstrup]

Such a sick video! Really liked those portraits you got. I'm gonna be dropping some cash on an RZ67 soon... pretty stoked about it!

[@shahn78]

I bought one about 10 years wanting to shoot like my fav photogs (big names shooting editorials and commercial work) Found it way too heavy and cumbersome as a handheld and ended up selling it. I hope your experience is diff but I found them overrated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ninjaTy16]

Good video. Not sure how I feel about the blue tint and blue shadows though

[@niyomcamp]

Cool camers👍

[@mpk33]

It happens to everyone at one point. Don't sweat it. Photos came out really good.

[@TheGermanCompounder]

Awesome video man :) enjoyed watching. But how tall are you??

[@jonathanclarke5763]

When you meter the light do you meter for highlights or shadows?

[@DamienAWeidner]

Favorite camera, RZ 4 lyfe

[@btrdangerdan2010]

I really like your content and the lo fi music.

[@itsjantore]

Portra looks kinda boring to my eye. Still, got a couple of 135 rolls that ill be shooting up soon, so maybe that changes my view on it. Kodacolor 200 has a really nice vibe. A bit more poppy, but not too crazy. Also looking forward to test Fuji 400H. Anyways, great video!

[@ababatunde3455]

great vid once again, nice little location

[@2m3i]

Hey, nice video ad photography. May I ask what light meter did you used in the video? Thanks!

[@liowyingchen3375]

What is the light meter app that you’re using on your phone? Loved this video a lot, the sun was glowing like mad!

[@arnaudtisset]

Stp with the leaves please what does that bring

[@romanspataro1688]

ya'll killed this one man

[@RamoArt]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has considered using a film camera as a weapon

[@diegoa.vignon4587]

One question: In those kind of cameras how do you change from landscape to portrait range?

[@BryanBirks]

Santiago Villalobos just rotate the film back.

[@ChristopherVisser]

"Definitely the worst idea we've ever had" 🤣

[@mubiedits]

Loved this👌

[@LocalAnalog]

Solid vid!

[@ruffprophetproductions]

Funny story, I was taking one of those overheard portraits with my rb67 and I had the prism finder on it. The prism came off and almost gave my model a brain contusion luckily I knocked it out of the way in time 😅😅😅

[@fashiongrunge]

great video! I love this location

[@rustyG774]

What app do you use for the light metering?

[@marksummers5504]

You’re correct. I had a guy pull out a 9mm on me demanding I give him my money. I pulled out the Mamiya RZ67 with the Sekor Z 250mm f4.5. He dropped his gun and hauled ass. My nerves caused me to drop my Mamiya on my foot. They amputated it 3 days later

[@cmblevins92]

What light meter app is he using?

[@ElliottWatson]

Good stuff man! Keep it up

[@cavinawillson7703]

Made me lol. Colors were dope.

[@jdouguspsa]

i loved this it just coulda been a litttttle better if they were not in landscape, idk if you knew!

[@flachtsix]

Banger. Forget everything you learned about portraits lmao

[@frankwu1713]

What phone app do you use for metering?

[@joaoreis9650]

wich light meter app do you use?

[@larsvieth]

Love your vibe!

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Willem in the house!!! (The comments section that is).

[@phvrvohxo6462]

sick camera

[@PhilKnall]

The orientation didn't bother me in the slightest. It's 6x7 anyway... And that conversation lightened up the video! Great shots!

[@erwnalejo]

Still sick video and photos despite the landscape orientation corey👍🏻

[@thiagobnla]

your instagram's picture is a "landscape" portrait, so I think its ok. It can be your thing now lol. great video

[@kelvinclancy7609]

Think about processing film yourself, not only for the cost saving but more importantly it improves your process and expressive ability.

[@michaelofmelrose]

OK, but its 6X7 ain't much differnce landscape vs protriat and its medium format, you can crop, if you want. Thansk for the vlog, bet next time you won't make that mistake.

[@prodbyscars]

haha I can relate to the realisation of forgetting to switch between landscape and portrait

[@phvrvohxo6462]

great content

[@lucaswiman8945]

place looks siiiiiick tfti

[@taylorchristianjones808]

🏆🏆🏆

[@tompetkus9385]

Should be more sharp shots with mamiya RZ

[@radicaleyemag]

Great work man! Favourite part: 7:06 🔞🔞🔞

[@coreywolfenbarger8992]

Yoooo thank you guys! Have been watching the channel since I found the Pentax 67 vs Mamiya RZ67 video. Big fan!

[@benk-1]

Cool

[@bijan_sabet]

👍

[@davidb4010]

Your pictures looks underexposed, was that on purpose?

[@charleseliason4694]

That is not what Portra looks like. Something is off.

[@LaserPrinterBW]

To flat, 2 stops to much.

[@davidb4010]

Quite the opposite, every frame is underexposed, causing this flat look - C41 films in general look better with a bit of overexposure, i usually rate portra 400 at 320 or even 200 depending on how much contrast i want

[@jdouguspsa]

i loved this it just coulda been a litttttle better if they were not in landscape, idk if you knew!
