Slow Portraits with Fast Lenses

Slow Portraits with Fast Lenses

Sometimes it's better to slow down instead of relying on the newest and best technology. It makes you focused, creative and allows to build a strong connection to your subject.

In this video I take you behind-the-scenes of a slow portrait shoot. i will tell you why it's so beneficial to slow down and I'll talk about the (slow) gear that I used on this shoot:

- Fujifilm GFX50R
- Mitakon 65mm F1.4
- Vintage Minolta Rokkor 58mm F1.4 and 85mm F1.7 with a Kipon Adapter
- Sirui tripod
- Godox M1 RGB LED panels
- Godox SL60W LED light
- Phottix Raya 105cm softbox with grid

After the gear part I'll take you through the different setups that I used for the shoot. .

If you’d like to take a closer look at the images, be my guest:

As always: feedback is welcome about the video and the pictures. i’m also curious on how you slow down?
