god damn when she did that little chin to shoulder turn at 4:57 !!!!! beautiful

These images are fantastic. Everything appears to be so easy.

Mr. McGee you're such an inspiration! Just brilliant! Thank you!

Stunning pictures of beautiful people! Thank you for this wonderful video!

Wow, Bella is such talented model! Stunning images

Excellent images Mark and a interesting video from start to finish, thanks mate.

MARK Superb ideas and lovely shots. Great superb light work and model of your choice.

Great shoot / images Mark..... Looks like an awesome piece of kit to be shooting with

Beautiful images. Really love the way you've lit the scene.

Honestly, the quality of these videos are almost too good for KZread! It feels like a steal 😅 Amazing work, Mark!

Thank you - very kind!

That shutter click is sooooo satisfying

Another top drawer video Mark, thanks 👍

Bella doing great work as always ❤

The lighting installation is very artistic!!!

Really nice effects Mark. The result from the snoot was remarkable.

Brilliant video. So good to see a pro at work and the shots - both how they were taken and the results, are phenomenal. I don't do portraits, so I bought the earlier kit, the Adventure Light Field Kit, X2D, XCD 45p, XCD 4/21 which is AMAZING! The firmware update (v2.0) added live histogram as well as focus peaking and a number of other great things. The X2D is just wonderful. Thanks for another super video.

Perfect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wow - what an incredible channel! There's plenty of gear focused videos out there on the internet, and there's also some good motivated lighting stuff but rarely do they combine the details of why you are choosing to shoot in a certain and very intentional way. It's usually either quite washy as to why the lighting and positioning choices are made or it's all about the gear and technical details but this is probably the best blend I have ever seen and the images are just phenomenal too. Instant sub!

wonderful photography.......

Awesome work dude

Very nice portraits.

Good work !

Amazing 🤩

very cool and congrats on the hasselblad

Amazing Shoot sir

Super ❤

I love that you give all your settings and the Why of them! One question though, in the situations with split/blended light, how did you handle white balance?

Sou do Brasil e curto de mais os teus vídeos, eles me inspiram !

Beautiful work! I also own the X2D. I'm primarily a landscape photographer, but have my first studio portrait session tomorrow. I'm a little confused as to how I will set up my focus point in-camera. Could you please elaborate just a bit as to how you set up your focus point in the camera? Thanks.

i loved your model, she got a nice voice.

Привет! Классное видео. Продолжай снимать дальше. Всегда жду твои видео👍👍👍👍👍

Mark, did you change the white balance to get the moody effect ? Great video thanks for sharing

Excellent content :) with all the garbage KZread videos out there - this was refreshingly interesting, informative and inspirational! I almost want to grab the camera and get my wife to pose for a few photos in the living room haha

super tuto on flash photography ! tutos with sony are welcome. Just purchased a a7rv, xpro2s and ad300pro+ad200pro+ad400pro+V1S with UB105 and 130 umbrellas, magmod 42" octa,...

Captivating insights on capturing mood with the Hasselblad X2D kit! How significant is post-processing in achieving this moody aesthetic? Always looking to refine my approach, and your expertise is invaluable!

👏

Wow what an awesome shots and for special the ballerina. High 5 mate. can u tell us wich items u use like lens, tripoid, soft kit .

He really nailed the moody portraits. Interested in knowing if there was any post production or the camera and lighting did all the work.

Great work Subscribe done

There's a few videos I'd wish for or like you to do. 1) A full on portrait post processing video showing the exact " constant" steps/procedure you use every time. 2) A colour portrait taken with the intention of producing the best contrasty black and white image from said colour image capture. Again, highlighting every step you'd use in order to achieve this contrasty image.

Great vid. What size dish and soft boxes are you using? Quite tempted to pick up a X1D with the current prices.

There are not a lot of these movement type portraitures on youtube. Thanks for this. It is helping me to decide that the Hassy can work in this type of environment. Wondering about your tripod and strobe gear. Can you tell us about gear that works with the X2D. Thanks again.

👍❤️👍

Great video. Can you share the name of the fan you have in the first video. It's in the back camera left.

"Bell, snoot time" i laughed 😂

Another great job. Please, can you tell me if you can customize the white balance on the X2D by shooting at a gray card, does the cam copy this? I don't see it in the menus of the manuals I've read. Greetings!

Great work. Did you own the x1dii. I want to know the difference in IQ besides the difference in resolution

that 's amizing photoshoot , the lens 45 , 80 mm is that prime lens is right ?

I subbed you got mad skills even though I can’t afford that 13 thousand dollar camera right now. 😂

good

Hey, thanks for the great video on shooting with light. What kind of light gears are suitable for H X2d? I have mostly Godox light.. If I have a trigger for Nikon, is it compatible ? Thanks again.

With the Hasselblad you don't have to switch each time from AF to MF after and before AF focusing, you simply remain always in MF and AF refocus when needed with the AF back button while staying in MF

Nice video! Nice System! Get that highlight off her nose 8:35min ;)

3:43 there's a hotpixel Great pictures though

Well observerd. It is pity that such a camer with a screen with a hot pixel was delivered. I would have expected that such a camera would fail quality control.

can u pls tell us what tripod and ball head u are using in this video

The question: whats trigger flash for supporting LS...most trigger on market jas support HSS..cause hss n LS different result

Amazing photography job, beautiful model, and if you don’t have a snoot, you can make one out of tin foil.

I want to ask something that is light. What is kicker light?

Hi Mark, Watching your video I noticed that you use a Pixapro ST111 trigger on your X2D camera with Godox flash units. I have spent hours trying to find a trigger for Off Camera flash using Godox flash units on my X2D camera. Could you please help me and verify the exact name of the Trigger unit and assure me it works with Godox flash, mainly the AD200 Pros. I would really appreciate a reply on this matter. Michael

Not sure what you mean by shooting at 1/8000 sec without going to high speed sync?

How long was that Shoot

Whish you can tell @ ballerina Setup .. what do you used @ lights

Bella Ballerina está mulher é lindíssima, não faz esforço para ser linda.

Word of caution for the having the fabric close to the light setup - turn the modeling lamp off or the fabric will catch on fire. Speaking from experience. If you use those foam core boards, especially the black ones, be careful as well, they are extremely flammable.

The cap prevents him from looking at the camera, but he still doesn't take it off.

I can't find her on instagram 😞

Enough! I‘ve seen and heard enough of you now! Working solo, being awesome and cool and all of that. ENOUGH! I‘m gonna work for you now and be your assistant. Donˋt need me? Donˋt want me? Well, I donˋt give two shoots. I‘ll start on monday. 8 a.m.? You drink coffee black or with milk and sugar? Don‘t answer - a good assistant will get you the coffee you like. You can drop me your adress by mail or I‘ll just look for you. England, right? Alright, see you monday! Edit: I checked. Monday is no good. Letˋs say Friday around noon.

Keep an eye on the channel...

Is that a 16" beauty dish?

Saying 1 over 64 power is not giving us any reference points to measure. . . Is that one stop under ambient??? Half stop???? How are we going to replicate this if we do not know the light ratio??? TIA

"to your full-frame equivalent" 💀

How to take MOODY PORTRAITS: 1. Buy Hasselblad kit 2...... =)

JFYI it's mostly joke. I understand that you can take similar shots with my Nikon D750 (maybe a little worse than with Hasselblad)

1/80 why not blur ?

Yeah but for less $$ you can get an A9iii and shoot flash at 1/8000 AND not give money to DJI which treats their customers like dirt! Just sayin. Also, your camera link is 404ed...FYI Cool pics.

24mp, iso noise, colors like a Samsung phone, and still plastic... however i love sony for their Technically advanced Technology... I even worked for them until last year... but you cant really compare MF with the small so called "full frame"

Show the pictures that you have taken.

100mp is not flattering and of small use to most of portrait photographers.. how true?
