Jealous you have a Hasselbald - the Astronaut's choice!

Thanks for the great photo!

Great lighting and framing!

thank yu for your comment !

Absolutely beautiful work @ericoliveira! I can't believe I haven't discovered you until now! Always wanted to shoot with a Hasselblad but could never afford it haha, my weapon of choice was a Mamiya 645AFD and RZ67 Pro ii. I know you mentioned Kodak but do you mind if I ask what specific film stock you are using? Following you to see more amazing analogue work!

HI @dexter-k, i am glad you like it ! the hasselbald is indeed an amazing camera, i use it mainly for portraits , the sharpening on it is fantastic ! i tried once the Mamyia, ia a great camera but double the weight of the blad ! I used a Kodak Tri Maxx 400, but it was expired from 2007, this probably gave it a more grainy effect ! will follow you too ! cheers !

Yeah I was wondering about it, I love using expired film, it always has such crazy effects. A lot of expired black and white film gets you that genuine vintage look too. I hear ya about the weight of the Mamiya, it is an absolute beast. Not really a camera that you take carrying around with you!

Expired film sometimes is a shot in the dark , can get very flat and grainy if into has not been kept in a cold place , bit I guess that's the fun of it , finding out !

I like this shot quite a bit. Might have to do a study :)

that would be great ! let me know when you do it :) !

Love the mood.
