Chapter 6: High-definition Film & 22-million Pixel Digital

Weddings      Bar Mitzvahs      Bat Mitzvahs      Sweet Sixteen

 

Quinceaneras     Debutante Balls     Private Parties     Special Events   

 

I use Hasselblad H1 and Noblex Panoramic, Medium Format Cameras, with Fuji NPH and NPZ Film and 22-million pixel, Phase One, P25, Digital system to produce professional quality, high-definition, pictures. I don't use 35mm. 

 

There's NO DISPUTE that pictures produced with Medium Format, High-definition Fuji NPH & NPZ Film, shot with the Hasselblad H1 camera, are simply BETTER than pictures from ANY 35mm digital camera. 
 

Most 35mm digital shooters record little tiny 2-4mb JPEG files that produce poor quality pictures.

 

Picture perfect, for more than 30 years!

 

Chapter 6: High-definition Film & 22 million Pixel Digital

I use Hasselblad H1 and Noblex Panoramic, Medium Format Cameras, with Fuji NPH and NPZ Film and 22-million pixel, Phase One, P25, Digital system to produce professional quality, high-definition, pictures. I don't use 35mm. 

I record my digital images as 50mb RAW files.  I use Phase One, Capture One, Pro to convert the RAW files to TIFF and JPEG files.  I personally Photoshop every single picture. 

My film gets scanned to 7mb TIFF files before I personally Photoshop every single image.

I have personally photographed more than 4,000 Special Events with my Hasselblad cameras. 

If shot digitally, with my Phase One, P25, 22 million pixel digital system on my Hasselblad H1 cameras, you'll receive all of your RAW files plus your TIFF and JPEG files.

You'll receive beautiful, sharp, 4"x5" Fuji Crystal Archive Photographic Proof Prints for EVERY SINGLE picture taken at your event.

You'll be able to work with the best photographic lab in Southern California, PCI, getting all of your pictures printed at WHOLESALE prices.  The same professional quality but costing you a lot less money.

I can do everything for you or you can save some money and easily do some of this for yourselves.

You can establish your own budget, at any level, and I will meet it.  You can have me shoot as much or as little as you wish, for as long as you desire.

You'll receive ALL of your medium format, high-definition, Fuji Film, used at your event.

You'll receive all of your 7mb, 300dpi, sRGB, 8 bit, 4"x5" TIFF files, post-produced for EVERY SINGLE picture taken at your event.

You can buy any album, any size, any shape, any color, from anywhere in the world.

I serve Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and I'm available for Destination Events nation-wide.

You'll own EVERYTHING.

You can receive $500.00 to $1,200.00 worth of FREE stuff.

High Resolution Film and Digital

I use both Medium-format, High-definition, Fuji NPH & NPZ Film and 22 million pixel, Medium-format, Phase One, P25 Digital capture systems... on my commercial-quality, Hasselblad H1, Medium-format cameras.

I don't use ANY 35mm cameras.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been a full-time, professional, photographer for more than 30 years. 

 

 

 

 

During that time, I have photographed more than 4,000 Weddings, Special Events, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Debutante Balls, Private Parties and Quinceaneras throughout Orange County.  I've seen, first hand, the massive changes in photographic technology.  This change is constant, industry-wide and there is no end in sight.

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

Camera Sizes

 

 

 

Like so many other things in life, cameras come in different sizes.  Without exception, the larger the camera, the better the picture.   Unfortunately, the larger the camera, the higher the costs.

 

 

For many part-time photographers, this has always been a stressful issue.  They know that the more expensive tools produce better quality pictures but they can't justify the expense of the better cameras, for whatever reason, so they do without.
