I sometimes have film in my RZ67 for weeks, it’s a habit I’m trying to break. One problem is that shoot Velvia 50 in one of my backs, and it’s not an all day everyday type of film. I am trying to get to a point where I have an empty back, and when the light is good load up and work the scene shooting the whole roll.

@@ezekielkokspeaks The hardest thing to do, especially with 120 film, is to say “I don’t think that was quite right, let me try that shot again.”

"We are shooting film, not because it's better, not because it's worse, but because it is what it is." Has to be one one the all time greatest quotes about film photography since digital came of age. I shoot Canon both digital and 35mm, but I found it rather strange that the lady photographing the photographers was using a Canon in the Hasselblad Japan Headquarters.

that's because Canon is like a Honda compact you can go wherever you go with and do almost everything with, and Hasselblad is like a race car. It's high performance but impractical for most purposes (street, sport, candid, ...)

The Karot A brilliant metaphor, but two of the 'Blad's most common uses were fashion and weddings.

As a old school photographer (been shooting since 1963) I embraced the first consumer digital back in 1990's ..25yrs later I'm back shooting my 120's & 35's along side my digital 1DX because brides/family portraits are asking for film shots ..amazing watching the young kids look for a digital screen on my Broncia /Pentax ..

Great journey through the artistic constraint of 12 exposures, with an unmetered film body. Interesting, too, that the Hasselblad team uses a Canon DSLR for their promo work at about 14:25.

I only liked Mattias's photos myself.

Restricting myself technologically has been one of the best gifts for me creatively.. I even try this with my digital camera by taping the back of my digital camera so I can't see the images, totally changes the way I compose and slows me down..

I love it. Patience is the reason why I shoot film and it also helps me be a better photographer. I love this challenge. I think my friends and I will be doing it in Milwaukee, WI! Thanks for this!

mattias and yoshi got some great pictures... rolling in my own city using a 24 exposures film was really hard... but going to a new city and shot only 12 frames... impossiburo!

It's been 7 years but this video is so good!

Thanks for your sharing! I love this challenge. Three elements, Tokyo, Hasselblad and me.

The reality to photography is there are tons of misses. Some photographers are happy if 1 in 10 have aesthetic value.

Only having 12 frames certainly focuses the mind and brings out the creativity of these guys to tell their story in just 12 frames.

I have been doing a similar thing in San Francisco with my Yashica D and one roll of 120. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great documentary about the art of photography, love it

Great film. Mattias kicks ass. Very nice pictures.

Loved each one's takes. They are so personal. While film IS exciting so much. That's why I do film.

Something simple: if put in the position were you only had one roll, what film stock would it be? What theme or subject would you shoot? Remember: this is medium format film photography where the frames available are really limited. Let me know in the comments below.

I love this video, I've watched it several times and will probably watch it several more times.

IMHO - The best shots came from Mattias. The shot at 17:45 is really dope. Yoshi's at 18:05 was good and his roll was pretty good.

The Swede knew his hassy for sure!

Super cool project! I wish there were more projects like this or a compilation thereof.

This is really photography,no after effect, i like it Paul

I enjoyed the video but was a bit disapointed by the results of the pictures....expected much more from the guys!

A fascinating idea. It inspired me to start a similar project on tumblr to share one specific day on one roll of film with photographers around the world. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

Haha! "När jag rullar in min Volvo i garaget" Nice project! I was amazed by Mr.Suzuki´s 12 frames, he did get a few really good ones.

Really like this video. Hasselblad is my dream and I can't buy, I enjoy this video and sodn learn how to work with this camera. Thank you for interesting and useful video.

Photography is not a team sport. This video proves one thing, it's not about the gear.

I love the idea of this project. Yes, just the idea.

Great project. It's a great excercise to do every once in a while. I had to do this when I rationed the very 4 and only rolls of kodachrome I got in '09. I just dedicated one to document my environment at the time. 9 months for 36 frames. A reason why I dislike 35mm is because of too many frames, and I'm very careful when shooting film. Can't quite afford a Hassy. If they were recruiting around here (Barcelona) for a project like this , I'd jump in!

Nice idea and a great project . I am trying the same idea soon with my Blad!

the video itself could be better, but great concept and love how involved the photographers were, it all about the love of shooting. Westfalk and Suzuki's were the most interesting shots. Hope you do more projects like this

I have a roll of 120 velvia in my mamiya right now, and am VERY nervous as I'm shooting 6x9, so only 8 shots... and medium format velvia isn't exactly cheap to develop. I'm thinking 3 or 4 bucks a shot, plus the cost of the film itself. So everytime I fuck up or take a mediocre shot, bam, 4 bucks in the garbage can. This video was cool, I needed that.

That is the key, acknowledging the failure rate. I remember in the days of 24 or 36 exposure 35mm films, you would be lucky to get 2, 3 or 4 really good shots per roll. That's a pretty awful keeper rate! But you accept it and acknowledge that some shots are just going to be bad :) That makes the good ones even more awesome when they are developed!

the basic idea is fantastic and right, the execution is so so, in my view. love film, and I a think for more than the stated reasons it should be continued to be used.

I shoot Medium Format slowly! A roll of 220! took me 18 months! Yes, 21 pix worth big prints!

My favorites were Suzuki's.

I use Hasselblad most of the time. Exercise in patience? That's when I go into town with a Linhof 4x5. 😊 (I never use the terms 'shoot' and 'shooting' etc in reference to photography.)

Such an interesting concept, yet the film is so poorly executed. Too much time was spent muddling around the idea of limiting the photographers to 12 frames, and too little was spent on the final pictures and the thought processes that went into those images. The editing felt random and the final film should have been around one-tenth as long. I would love to see the "one roll of film" conceit carried out in other cities, but with real production companies producing the films.

I think besides the originality such projects are sort of self-defeating. I mean here we are with the wonderful opportunity to still use variety of film instead of just attached sensor, to slow down and not to shoot shit, but here you need to hurry again, and think of others filling those 12 frames in a pinch.

Where are the final images? only saw a few

Great story !

If you limit yourself to 12 frames, then you aren't using the tools for your profession. This is just a limitation of the photographer, and not the limit of the film. It's called self control, or giving yourself the law of averages. Just delete what you don't use with digital. Simple as that. I just think these are photographers with no self control, and are creating an excuse for it. ;)

It's very clear that you are fixated on the design of Hasselblads (as if that's what determines image quality), or the production of this video as if it were some sort of UFC match. You should understand that "great images" as interpreted by an audience can be taken on any camera either in a single frame taken on a single day or through a series of images taken over a period of time; even years if needed. To illustrate this point, we chose to show our images without edit; whether we liked the images or not.
