Toothless and cyanotic.
2014, Favourite, Film, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya 7/7II, Mamiya 80mm, Portrait, Teaching pointOne thing about the 6 x 7 format I really appreciate is that everything is depicted in a “grand” way (even blue tongues!) and truer to life vs. the 35mm format.
The effect is always visible to my eye, but becomes more apparent when comparing images from the two formats in a side-by-side fashion.

Po(i)sed (test shot).
Film, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya 7/7II, Mamiya 80mm, Portrait, Q&A, Teaching pointThis is a test shot involving some challenging (but beautiful) light.
The gear: Mamiya 7II + 80mm, and Kodak Portra 400 film.
