Welcome to my latest portrait video and the first filmed entirely on the Canon EOS R5. On my previous portrait video, you can see my first impressions of this camera for filmmaking. To overcome part of the problems I faced the first time I recorded everything to my Atomos Ninja V. Even though I enjoyed the camera and also the editing of the ProRes files I have decided to start filing these videos also on my Sony A7S3 and use the Canon R5 purely for photography. This time I shot with Indian model Juhi Shrivastava in my home studio in New Delhi. Cool shoot with some really great images that you can check on my Instagram page. On the technical aspect, I used my Profoto B1, B2, and B10 flashes for the photography and the modelling light from the B10 for most video sequences. I used the Nikon D850 for most of the Fashion part of the shoot and the Canon Eos R5 with the stunning RF 50 mm F/1.2 wide open, for the portraits.

Welcome to my latest portrait video and to my first video shot with the R5. Below I give some comments on the performance of the EOS R5 and if someone has questions or wants a more in-depth video on the R5 please let me know in the comments. This time I had the pleasure to shoot with Indian high fashion model Akanksha Mehra in New Delhi. Great shoot with some really great images. On the technical aspect, I used my Profoto B1, B2, and B10 flashes for the photography and the modelling light from the B10 for most video sequences. I used the Nikon D850 for most of the Fashion part of the shoot and the Canon Eos R5 with the stunning RF 50 mm F/1.2 wide open, for the portraits. The video was shot with my new EOS R5 in 4k and the Sony A7R4. The footage of the R5 came out quite good, although the line-skipped 4K was way softer than the 4K HQ. For this type of shoot, I had no issues with overheating. Clip durations were around 30 seconds each and I shut down the camera between takes (different ballgame was shooting Wildlife videos, where the overheating became a real issue). I also noticed that in low light conditions the AF started hunting. And in this sense, another important issue that I encountered is the quite weak Focus Peaking option (not very accurate and very hardly visible on the screen) which made manual focusing a pain. And this an important issue, as the great Focus Assist does not work with manual lenses. The out of the camera files are unusable as-is. To be able to edit the footage, I had to transcode all R5 files to the ProRes 422 LT codec, which takes quite some time. Once done, grading in post was much easier than with the A7R4 files, which tended to fall apart very easily. Also important to highlight that when using the enhanced IBIS the image is being cropped in quite a lot. Hope you like the video, and if you would like to see some other content, as lighting schemes, the gear I use, etc, please leave a comment below and I'll try to address it in the coming videos.

Welcome back to my channel. This time we shoot lovely Ukrainian model Ivanna Negura from Destiny Models Management. We managed to shoot Ivanna a couple of days before she returned to Ukraine after spending nearly the entire lockdown in Delhi. And still, she came to my home studio with the biggest and warmest smile I had seen in quite a while. A brave young lady. Coming back to the more technical part I used my Profoto B1, B2, and B10 flashes for the photography and the modelling light from the B10 for most video sequences. As my Hasselblad H6d is still stranded in NYC pending to see how I get it to New Delhi, I used the Nikon D850 for the Fashion part of the shoot and the Canon Eos R with the stunning RF 50 mm F/1.2 wide open, for the portraits. The video was shot with my Sony A7R4 and edited on DaVinci Resolve Studio 16. The images were edited on Eizo monitors as always, to achieve the best possible quality and colour accuracy. Hope you like the video, and if you would like to see some other content, as lighting schemes, the gear I use, etc, please leave a comment below and I'll try to address it in the coming videos.

As per multiple requests please find a quick video of my home studio, where I shoot most of my non-commercial stuff in India. I shoot with the Hasselblad H6D-50c, the Nikon D850, the Sony A7R4 as well as the Canon EOS R. My normal workflow is to shoot tethered into Phocus and Lightroom using equipment from Tether Tools. For video I do use the Sony A7R4 either handled or with a DJI Ronin SC gimbal. My main lights are from Profoto (B1, D1, B2, and B10) which I use with Profoto light-shaping tools as well as Mola dishes. All my photo editing is done on Eizo monitors to achieve the best quality and most accurate colors. Video is being edited in DaVinci Resolve Studio 16. Nearly all images to be seen in this video have been printed by me on a Canon Prograf Pro-520 using Hahnemuhle fine art paper.
