What's going on y'all today I give you guys some tips on how to shoot Portraits on 35mm Film! Now this list is for people just starting out to shoot film because when I first started I wished people made videos like this so i could learn. I hope you guys enjoy the video and wish to make more for you! Thanks your for watching, be sure to drop a like down below and comment if you guys have any other tips to help others out! I'll talk to you guys in the next one! #Minoltagang

1.) Shoot with a narrow focal length. I recommend the 50mm and 85mm but if you wanna go wide I'd stick to 35mm, anything more may be a bit too wide IMO.

2.) Shoot in Aperture Priority. This will allow you to control depth of field so you can go shallow "Background Blur" or have a more sharp image across the frame. Manual mode is also available to use but aperture priority is one less thing you have to worry about so you can focus all your drive and attention to your subject.

3.) Use lower speed films. 100 iso, 200 iso, 400 iso are all great films for portraits because they have much fine grain than higher ISO films. This will look a lot better on peoples skin.

4.) Experiment with different films during golden hour. Golden hour is the last hour of sunlight before the sun goes down and it will allow you to get some really beautiful effects and looks. Portrait photographers who shoot natural light will tell you golden hour is usually their favorite time to shoot.

Nicely done and excellent tips. I'd also say shoot in open shade whenever possible and keep backgrounds as dark as possible. If you have to shoot in direct sunlight, use backlight. Your subject won't be squinting and the light won't be near as harsh. That works especially well for women because of the long hair. I'm not sure I'd do that with a bald dude though.

When photographing individuals, I like shooting at f/2.8. If I'm shooting a family portrait, I prefer f/5.6.

Dear King J, I have to thank you for your work. You are one of the reasons I started shooting film. I bought a Nikon FE and I have been experimenting with it for the last month and thanks to your videos with a TON of information, my work is not a total garbage. I hope more people are inspired by your work. Have a great time making new awesome videos 😀

Been watching your videos and they've gotten me more and more inspired to keep shooting film. You're a super talented dude and I think your channel is really shaping up & standing out. Stay shooting and keep making these awesome (and really helpful) videos!

I've watched so many videos explaining aperture but the way you can explain information is so easy to understand! I've been shooting on point and shoots for so long and now it's time to give manual a go. Thanks dude!

Thanks for the tips! I remember my photography class teacher mentioning sunny 16 and using larger f stop while increasing shutter speed to compensate for amount of light for shallow depth in the case of portraits.

I really get in a good mood every time I watch your videos. Next week I will probably shoot a few portraits with my Minolta XD 7, a Fujicolor c200 is already in the fridge :)
Cheers!

Where has this channel been all my life? Love your videos man. I bought a Canon EOS rebelX at a thrift shop for 5 bucks, it has a Canon EF mount which is cool and i use a 35-80 lens that I picked up online. Af is cool but Ive been using manual alot lately especially for portraits, like you said. Keep up the great videos!

thanks for this Video. I just bought a 35mm Lens and it's my first time using a Manual Focus Lens, I've been using it on Manual to shoot photos, but get this washed out look Never thought about using Aperture settings for Manual Shooting and I just tried it, Thanks for the Tips.

I'm making the switch back to film from digital and have a question about focus. With digital it's so easy to get my focus on the eyes because I can move my focal circle to the eyes. But with my film camera the focus circle is fixed in the middle of the frame. So with that fixed centre-focus ring how do I ensure the eyes are sharp (which are up in the top third of the viewfinder)?
