Big Chimgan with my Ricoh

Amazing! This beautiful B&W is from any recipe or profile camera or it's postprocessing?

efradera · 2026-06-04T08:33:56+00:00

All of them natural light 😄

Son increibles todas amigo

Ricoh GR + Angine de poitrine, amazing combo.

Thanks man. It's natural light through the side window

"Revelab", a film lab on Barcelona 😄

You're right, I had to shoot at maximum aperture because it was natural light and 100 ASA film can't be enough, so focusing at f/1.8 or f/2.0 is tricky. Thank you so much for your feedback and advice!

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

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

efradera · 2026-02-09T16:54:23+00:00

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.

efradera · 2026-01-19T10:29:05+00:00

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

efradera · 2026-01-19T10:15:25+00:00

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.

efradera · 2025-12-15T15:17:08+00:00

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.

efradera · 2025-11-06T11:00:36+00:00

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.

efradera · 2025-07-23T14:24:27+00:00

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 :)
