  • I've been asked to shoot some editorial for a new magazine this weekend, which is a first for me. The creative direction is right up my street, natural light and some interesting locations, and I get on really well with the model and team.

    BUT, I'm panicking over what to shoot on. They want film, obviously, and their references are mostly 120 colour so I'm taking Porta 400 (flexibility for the if the light drops) There's probably not a vast budget for film and devving so I've got to weigh up getting the most number of shots possible, with highest quality and flexibility of portrait and landscape framing.

    Soooo, my choices are:

    • Bronica 6x6 - more shots, can crop if needed, bit awkward to think about reframing whilst shooting
    • GW690 - less shots, better quality, composition 'in-camera', but can't see what I'm really shooting
    • 35mm back-up; OM4 or MJUii for the lolz and keep it fun

    What would you do?

  • What’s the idea of the shoot? That might inform the look/format/lenses.

    If it’s all 120 colour … might be nice to have the 35mm ‘b-roll’ in b&w, shot with fill flash on the Mju (for instance) for a mini series within a series yo dawg.

  • Slightly surrealist, lots of mimicking the models surroundings. It'll be fun!
    I have a few rolls of b&w and one Portra 35mm roll I could put in the MJU and just have fun with it. But I much prefer the look of MF so think I want to keep as much on that as poss

    And yes, I'm planning on roping in someone on reflector duties. Keeping it simple as poss
