- Took the Pentax 67 and Hasselblad 500cm to Malibu with Kodak Portra 400. For this shoot i wanted to play with both cameras but the Hassi won on this one. I want to thank my good friend Ali for killing it with the poses. I hope you all enjoy this one. Thanks again to B&H Photo for sponsoring this video!

#FilmPhotography - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Hi Mike. I had a lot of experience with both cameras in the '70's on to a couple of years ago. I loved the Pentax 6X7 for my art projects that I was doing because of the nice big negatives gave me great 16x20 B&W prints. But when I started my wedding photography career...the Hassy was the system to get. Eventually I sold my 3 bodies and six lenses. Looking back, I should have kept both systems! -Joe
So cool to hear Joe. I truly love both systems!
You rocked this one. Great images and vibe. I love using the 67 and blad too, and often you just know which one to pick up.
I'm increasingly loving your photography style photo shoot after photo shoot. I'm appreciating your humble approach to everything related to the photographic process. Everything feels true and genuine, not pretentious. And Ali is a jewel. So much energy, such a contagious smile. Cheers, -Rick
I really appreciate that so much Rick 🙏🏾
I’ve rewatched this video again and I say that the vibe is so cool! Both video and photos killed! And what a wonderful model!
I used both also as a pro fashion shooter. I had about 6 pentax bodies because one was always being repaired and assistans were always loading one or 2 as we shot. One was needed just for the polaroid back. The 165?? leaf shutter lens was needed for flash. 300mm lens was great but flair prone. Blads were better because of the backs and Leaf shutter lenses. Clients couldnt understand why i would get a light stand leg or reflector in the shot because of the square format that would then be cropped for a magazine page. Nice to not have to turn the camera on its side like the Pentax also which takes us to the Mamiya Rz. Great camera for fashion and so much more advanced than the Blads. I still hhave a 553 and a 503 blad though . I used to shoot for the mags with a ELM Moon camera also for a bit of fun.
The video, the shots eveything is beautiful !
Mike Gray never miss
Much love from France as always homie :)
Thank you so much bro!
We love to see you out and about doing your thing!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Another banger Mike. You nailed the vintage vibes. I'm definitely coming away with some compositions to try!
Thank you!
Absolutely love your work!! Love following your journey. One thing I’d love to see more of is your technical thinking towards your shooting. What goes through your mind in terms of setting exposure settings, deciding what aperture to use, dealing with light, just things like that would be real interesting to hear. Love what you do!
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely add that in the future!
Superb! As always!!…you’re one & only Mike Gray!!!
Thank you!
Great video as always, everything about this shoot was perfect
Thanks so much !
Love your photography! It’s such an amazing evolution.
Thanks so much bro

Thanks Michael!
Thanks mike! Amazing videos here one of a kind you been producing
Thanks so much

Thank You!
Bruh these shots are fireeee also the little video edits make me feel like I'm watching a fragrance commercial (which is something I really want to get into making)
Thanks so much bro! haha I love that.
Your way of shooting videos is way damn cool and diffrnt from others there doing this stuff , that’s what I like and support u for 🖤👌🏼
I appreciate you bro!
What a fun photo shoot! I love how you style your sessions as well.
Thanks Jennifer!
Again Mike, you knocked it out the box. The shot that you said was your favorite, it's on for sure...but my favorite shot from this video is the one that has home girl wearing the pink suit, sitting in the vehicle behind the wheel with her body turned to the door facing the camera. That shot is dope. Hey, listen Mike, you keep pushing. I'm loving your work!
Thanks so much David! I appreciate it
you should be at 100,000 based on the quality of production,content and images and most importantly entertainment value !!:)
Thanks so much man
You really don’t miss, always fire photos😤😤
I appreciate you g
B&H and Adorama are the best ever from Sunday to Friday!!!
Gotta agree with you on that!
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO. Thank you brother ✊🏾
Thank YOU.
Love your content, beautiful work!
Thank you!
First off, great images! Second, the color grade on your video is lights out!
Dude that intro was so good! I love the color grade. Photos were fire!
Thanks!
I like the way you style your shoots.......heavy on the vintage LA look of the 1940's, 70's, and 80's.......the laundromat, I think you did one at a hotel, the family out in the desert, and this one near the beach. I would imagine that it's getting more and more difficult to find these unspoiled/undeveloped locations.......especially in and around L.A.
Perfect choice of vehicle with the 1987 SL. Love Ali's look and overall vibe. It's evident the chemistry you two have working together.
great video and beautiful model, as always. I have and I love both camera systems.
Thanks Marc. I feel the same way.
Comparing this to your last video, I can say with confidence that you've mastered available light.
Thanks Mark
Well, you made 33,000 subscriptions..more power you..your channel is amongst the best! Best wishes..David in the UK.
Awesome shoot and sick car. Loved the intro cinematic!
Thanks Derek!
Every time I click on one of your videos I hit like first and then watch lol and never have any regrets. Always makes me want to get out there and shoot as well.
I love it Marlon! Thank you. Haha

Ali = Femme Fatale! The most anticipated intro of 2022.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That Intro! On a scale 1 - 10? 10!
There we go!!!
Man loved all the shots!! The shot at 3:38 is def my favorite! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot Victor! You slayed it per usual.
@@MikeGrayFilm Ayy of course thanks Mike!! 🙌
No joke, that would have been a dope pic with you and her in the car. The wind was blowing her hair like you guys were rolling, And Mike with the cruising pose.📸📸📸📸💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Agreed
The images are so…professional! Subbed!
Thanks so much! Welcome to the family.
great work as always bro
Thanks Kavion
Fan theory: all of these people are in the same "universe" all connected by the Kennedy paper article 🤔 would be cool to see Mike shoot a film on the connection of all these people through the article!!!
Dope video as always Mike!
Thanks a lot bro. I’m glad someone finally gets it! Haha
The pay phone intro; very cool!
Thanks!
This was cold!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
My dawg 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Im tempted to get the Hassy because my man Mike here! Just don’t know how I would react with a square format but am open to the challenge tho! Love the work as always G✊🏻
Go for it bro! You'll love it.
@@MikeGrayFilm appreciate the feedback Mike!!
Killed it again bro! Loved everything about this. What gear was used for the video snippets? So high end feeling. Great sound design as well
Thanks a lot man. All of the gear is in the description!
Ahhhh dude these are awesome!! 3:44 & 4:22 are my faves 🙌🏽
Thank you so much Zoey!
really nice work dude!
Thanks a lot!
Classy photos, classy car, classy model, a touch too ' Dallas ' perhaps, but classy nonetheless. Well done young man.
Thank you.
Holy shit those photos are incredible.
Thanks a lot Tim!
Concept King I see you dawg 🤝
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Mike brings the viiiibes
I’ve got to!
Great video man 👍🏻
Thanks Andy!
You killed it!
Thank you!
Dude is it just me or is the color correct on all the footage here flawless
Beautiful video & photos man! Love the look of the 6x6!
You perfectly exposed each photo. Colors, contrast are amazing!
What did ya use to meter such a tough scene(Harsh light etc)?
Also did you meter for the highlights to get this look?
Thanks :)
The crazy thing for this shoot is, I didn’t have my light meter. I used the internal meter on my Pentax. But I’ve used it for years so I’m very comfortable with it. And just used the same settings on my Hasselblad. Thank you!!!
@@MikeGrayFilm Thanks so much for the reply! Keep the awesome videos & photos coming! :)
Amazing result Mike 👏 May I know did u use a box speed or push the film? thank you..
I pushed the film one stop for safety as I didn’t have a light meter on this shoot
I love the color grading on the video
My lil bro @victor melchor killed it
Quality content 🖤🖤
Thank you.
So with the shutter speeds that you have available on these two cameras, I assume that to shoot at wider apertures on a bright day like this you are using nd filters, or at least a polarizer on some of these shots?
That's beautiful 🎉
Thank you!
Your videos are Fire!
Thanks!!
@@MikeGrayFilm no problem…literally some of best and also entertaining film videos I’ve seen. Inspiring stuff. Thx 🙏🏻 for making these.
nice foley work!
Thank you!
I’m geeking off those 6x6 shots! 🤤 wasn’t even a fan of the square format until you started featuring it 😅 oh and congrats on the B&H sponsor! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks so much!!!
Your next print should just be an action shot of angry laundromat man
LMAO! That's comedy.
You in the car had me dying
lol i had to!
Hey Mike, I am thinking about buying a Pentax 67.........any advice. I started out using film but I quickly moved to digital ( I have used digital for the past 20 years)
I like the black framing
Thanks
I love 6x6, but I honestly thought the Pentax won this round! Something special about it
I’m not mad at that haha
Those exposures were very good. Wondering how you metered them.
I used the internal light meter on my Pentax to meter for both cameras because I misplaced my Sekonic
Ok !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏾🙌🏾
damn you really delivered here
I appreciate you
how did the film grain effect of the beginning video? Thanks！
Davinci Resolve 🙌🏾
Pentax 67 wins no contest if you like available light portraits, just because it's a platform you can adapt interesting exotic lenses onto, while the Hasselblad is crippled by only using first party lenses.
I get your point on that!
first time i’ve heard the best len’s that carl zeiss made , described as crippling.. i wonder how all the successful and famous photographers through the 50-90s made it through their careers and found work when being stuck with and hampered by the hassie and crippled by the carl zeiss !! 🤣
@@gui4j who said anything about having a career and being a famous photographer? Who said about comparing your work and life to others? I talked about a specific style and a personal preference. Don't be a troll, be a human and try to understand and respect other points of view.
I prefer the hasselblad with the flash sync, Zeiss glass tack sharp
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Mike Gray means Pay Day!
Gotta eat bro! haha
@@MikeGrayFilm Thank you for putting out this fantastic video! The video was very enjoyable to watch! Cinematic vibes and Classic Photography feels where most people have forgotten what photography was about in modern times. We go out and create! This is what you are showing, images to be grateful to look for. Your model did a great job in the segment! She's stunning, beautiful with that positive energy! Overall this is fire!
You are a genius
Haha you’re too kind
Ha the sound from the engine in the video is certainly not from this Mercedes ;) but as always great photography and great color grading with the video.
Gotta add some spice to it haha. Thank you Rene
Yeah! the car of American Gigolo! 🙂👍
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hi I’m from Malaysia , and I also like to shoot film ❤
Hasselblad is a Mercedes gullwing , Pentax 67 is a Humvee . I have both but always pick up the hassy first
I love it
Video picture is better than photo. )
Hahaha 🤣
Am i tripping or is the engine accel sound from GTA 5
😂😂😂😂
Kodak film? No e6?
No e6
The hassy thooo.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Drop a photo book please😀
It’s coming. I promise!
did you get your intro out of some movie? you can't be doing it by yourself!
Something like that! Haha my mentor helped me shoot the phone booth into with his crazy set up!
@@MikeGrayFilm really nicely done man！ great great cinematography.
apples to oranges. Move on. 6x6 vs 6x7.. Pentax vs Zeiss glass.
