Chattermag planned to shoot their video in the cellar of an old school on the Waldeck Pyrmontkade in The Hague. The building is called 'De Grote Pyr' and the cellar is used for parties and known as 'Dystopia'. As the building is inhabited by former squatters, it has an anarchistic vibe. I was there shooting behind the scenes with Ilford HP5 and 3200 for that raw punk mood.
I brought my ETC Source Four 750w stage light to play with shadows.
Contax 167MT
Indirect flash 1/16th on 1/125
Yashica 50MM f/2 ML
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 [1600]

Light splits the second,
two faces check themselves —
the world writes a formula.
The Bolshoi Theatre has stood for centuries, hosting operas about gods, tsars, and tragic lovers. Today, it hosts two girls checking if their hair looked good in the last photo. The fountain throws water into the air—a useless, beautiful gesture, not unlike the act of taking a selfie. They lean over the glowing rectangle, seeking validation from pixels, while the 1963 Zeiss Ikon watches them through a layer of expired Soviet silver. The film doesn't care about their angles. The film only cares about the light. "Well, what pictures have we got?" we ask. The pictures we got are of people asking what pictures they got. A perfect, closed loop of modern existence, frozen in the grain of a dying factory's last breath. The theatre waits. The water falls. The screen scrolls.

Photographer and creator Mr. 50mm designed a DIY digital rangefinder, which only requires about $200-$250 worth of parts.
One of my favorite zoom lenses of all time is the Sony 20-70mm f/4. Just the fact that a versatile range can be coupled with an ultra-wide-angle field-of-view brings a lot of convenience to the camera bag. I don’t mind the moderate f/4 aperture either, and the size and weight are kept to a minimum because of it. So when Canon released a 20-50mm f/4 L PZ lens alongside the R6 V, I was excited to try it out.
