conrad_hoffman Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I saw a lot of squarish images, so thought maybe the tonal quality was due more to lighting and format rather than film. Then I read Young New Yorkers - Photographs by Ethan James Green | LensCulture and thought again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 All very well, but what's a Hasselblad 300c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henricvs Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 His stuff looks digital to me, but I could be wrong. He has a flat look that is very interesting. If you want to shoot this look with film, I would start with your favorite B&W film and shoot/develop for a flat tone. Avoid contrasty lighting and pay attention to your scene as far as similar tones. Experiment with Diafine as it renders fairly flat. Also, Ilford Delta 400 has less contrast than Tri-X. Just my opinion, others may differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think it is less about films than lighting and exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear from the Lensculture article that Conrad linked to that the guy shoots digital. Quote: "But when Armstrong saw the camera, he immediately responded by saying, ”Ethan doll, why?? Film is a dead end!” Green took Armstrong’s words to heart, “I never touched a film camera after that. I think David was right—the next iconic photographers will be made using digital." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, glad I didn't read that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
