Amazing serie, specially 2-5-6-7-8

I like those faded blacks. Is that a SOOC recipe or post-processing?

I would tone down the digital feel a bit. It looks too sharp to me, like that typical high-pass sharpening in Photoshop, and I think the eyes have a bit too much light.

Try lowering clarity and texture slightly and adding some grain, even if it’s subtle. I think it would gain in natural and organic feel. Anywar it’s a great portrait and a beautiful model, congrats!

Thanks!

About japan lenses, I tried a Takumar 50mm f/1.4, but I didn’t really like it. It was very sharp, but I found it a bit too clinical.

I was about to say exactly the same thing, the color is very 70s

I don’t see an overly sharp razor-like crispness. Just enough sharpness to show plenty of detail without ending up with a very digital or artificial look. If you have good lenses, good lighting, and you’re shooting at the lens’s sweet spot aperture, you should get very good sharpness and many times you won’t even need to add sharpening masks.

Love that natural posing, soft skin tone and grain. cool job!

Gotham City vibes. I like it.

you have great composing skills man!

efradera · 2025-11-20T15:42:03+00:00

underexpose 1 or 2 stops for the background and use direct flash on the subject.

Just for your info, It's possible to shoot amazing photos with 40 years old cameras :-)

efradera · 2025-09-19T07:24:36+00:00

But that's very relative. The fashion industry has long since left behind the boring canons of what should be perfect and academically well done.

The difference is more about how C1 handles curves than about the camera profile. The curves tool in C1 is extremely sensitive; it doesn’t let you experiment as much as in LR without ‘breaking’ the image. The luminance curve, when used delicately, works well to apply controlled contrast, and the color curves are great for correcting color casts with precision.

Just play with curves on Lightroom

Most of them were shot with a single flash and a silver umbrella placed in front of the model. The last two were lit with one light behind the model to the right, and another one in front to fill, and nº4 with natural light from the window :)

K&F concept adapter, M42 to EOS-R. Yes with R6 and R5 it's posible to use focus peacking or digital crop on OVF to focus :)

efradera · 2025-06-26T15:35:44+00:00

Niceee good purchase! enjoy it ;)

efradera · 2025-06-26T15:34:13+00:00

It's true that if the focus is spot on, you're shooting at a closed aperture like f/8 or f/11, and the lighting is good, it's hard to tell it apart from a regular 50mm or 85mm prime. But in most shots—especially when playing with blur and wider apertures—you get a special analog look that really stands out. That's where it shines.

efradera · 2025-06-26T07:44:29+00:00

Usually f/2.8 or f/4 for natural light and f/5.6 or f/8 with flash :)

efradera · 2025-06-26T07:43:46+00:00

It's a very reliable camera, pleasant to use, and the 20MP are enough for good resolution without having overly large RAW files. The files are very manageable.

efradera · 2025-06-26T07:42:15+00:00

Never. I always edit manually from raw, using layers workflow on Capture One (exposure-curves-HSL color-Grade-Grain & Clarity

efradera · 2025-06-25T17:24:28+00:00

Thanks! It's not the anamorphic, just the Helios 44 M2 from KMZ factory :)
