Hasselblad.

Hasselblad

For this studio module we had to create 3 or more portrait shots using a studio and a Hasselblad camera with a digital back. I had never used this camera before so this project was a massive first for me. 

At first the idea of this and learning how the studio lights work and other various things like capture one was quite stressful because it all seemed complicated. 

In the end i did discover that although it was slightly difficult it wasn't as bad as i thought and i ended up really enjoying using the Hasselblad, the studio and capture one.

Background info about the Hasselblad camera

The Hasselblad camera was created by a man called Victor Hasselblad AB who at the time was a Swedish manufacturer of medium format cameras and other photographic equipment in Gothenburg, Sweden. 

My opinion

After using this camera i do think i like this as much or maybe more than a normal digital camera. I love how you have to stand over the camera and look down into it to see the image. The only downfalls i felt came with the camera was that i couldn't see how well in focus the image i was taking was until i saw it come up on the computer screen and it was some what difficult to position the model central in the frame. 

Over all i really loved the camera and it actually makes me want to buy one myself and try it out.
