I‘m rewatching almost weekly 😅. The intro, video editing of this video and photography it’s a 10/10
Such great inspiration to follow you on your portrait shoots, thanks. I am aiming to become good at portraying people, and your walk through of your sessions are genuinely helpful. Thanks Jamie!
The goonies 😂 i am lovin it
Davvero complimenti!!! Un caro saluto da un collega dall' Italia !!!
lovely shots mate!
So klasse, liebe die M6 😎
Love this. Really looking forward to seeing the water shot! Interesting about the M11, looked at the MP the other in the Leica Mayfair shop and it was such good fun.
I will always get surprised by the level of sharpness and nice detail a nice lens and 35mm negative can make. something special
Love this bro
I thoroughly enjoy your videos Jamie. This one was no exception. I shoot with an SL3. , Q3 and M11. Sold my M6 in March and I miss it. I think my M11 is going the journey and I’m going to go SL3 with M adapter for M lenses. I think my eyesight is dictating an evf for best results. Cheers. I look forward to you next video.
Damn, that was really fun to watch seeing one of your professional shoots and seeing the results of film and medium format – holy they sure are simply stunning! How long did the shoot with Ashley take? I guess you as a pro had the pressure to deliver (and in my amateur eyes you did :D) + knowing the M11 is not reliable. But I think for the model / Ashley it might also get tiring at some point (although you already mentioned you worked with him before and he's chill).
Do you develope your professional shot films yourself or do you drop them at a lab?
And regarding the M11 again – was it a loaner? Will you now eyeing for a different digital M or will you take the opportunity to go all in analogue M for the next period of time, just to try that experience? 🙂
Really love your work mate! 🙂
Really fun content 👌👌👌
