Hasselblad Film vs Digital - Recreating the Infamous 1978 Portrait shoot

Recreating the scandalous 1978 Kate Bush Album Cover - originally on Hasselblad 500CM, now on digital.. *Catch the behind‑the‑scenes and full image sets over on Patreon UNCUT: https://geni.us/BushCover* Thanks to Hasselblad for inviting us to recreate this classic shoot, and sponsoring this second in the series.

One image, rejected in the UK but used in Japan, became infamous as the Kick Inside album cover. Fast forward to 2026: I’m in Hong Kong, recreating that pivotal shoot with Felicia as our model, echoing Bush’s look while adding modern polish. Using the Hasselblad X2D with the 90mm prime, 135mm f/2.8, and 35–100mm zoom, we explore how classic film aesthetics translate into today’s digital medium format. *This is Volume Two of our Classic vs Modern Hasselblad Recreation series* — following our Marilyn Monroe tribute — and it’s all about atmosphere, intimacy, and the folklore of iconic album covers. ✨ What you’ll see in this video: * Kate Bush 1978 shoot background and cultural impact * Hasselblad 500C film setup vs Hasselblad X2D digital workflow * Recreation of the infamous Kick Inside cover with modern styling * Behind‑the‑scenes with Felicia, hair & makeup, lighting setups, and studio atmosphere * Discussion of how standards of “controversy” in album art have shifted from the 1970s to today PRIVACY and DISCLOSURE: * Matt Granger is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com * Matt Granger is a participant in the B&H Photo Video affiliate program that provides an advertising commission if you purchase through our links. * If you purchase something from our affiliate links will get a small commission with no extra cost to you. * You can read my complete Ethics and Conduct statement: http://mattgranger.com/ethics

Tamron 12–20mm vs Nikon Ultra Wides — Which One Wins?

In this video, we take the Tamron 12–20mm f/2.8 and compare it directly to Nikon’s 14–24mm f/2.8 and 14–30mm f/4. *Members‑Only Fine Art Library: https://geni.us/PMlibrary* *🎓 Learn More* Nikon Z Setup Course: https://learn.mattgranger.com/courses/zsetup *Sony E‑Mount Setup Course: https://learn.mattgranger.com/courses/alpha* Oberworth Sling Bag: https://geni.us/GreenSling Lenses Tested *Tamron 12-20: https://bhpho.to/4zi1YAM* Nikon 14-24: https://bhpho.to/4i293iu *Nikon 14-30: https://bhpho.to/3JF5Xz8* *Hannah & Social* Hannah IG: https://www.instagram.com/_hannahatnight/ Matt IG:https://www.instagram.com/_mattgranger *More of Hannah at Patreon UNCUT: https://geni.us/Patreonuncut* 💾 Download Sample Files Compare RAW files from all three lenses here: *👉 https://learn.mattgranger.com/courses/tamron1220* From portraits and cityscapes to rainy street scenes and studio tests, we look at how each lens performs in real‑world conditions — sharpness, autofocus, handling, and that all‑important field‑of‑view difference between 12mm and 14mm. 🔍 What You’ll See Tamron 12–20mm Review — build, controls, and handling Nikon 14–24mm vs 14–30mm — optical performance and usability 12mm vs 14mm Field Test — how much wider is 12mm really? Portraits & Cityscapes — distortion, depth, and creative framing Weather & Focus Tracking — how each lens handled Hong Kong’s typhoon season 🧠 Key Takeaways The extra stop at f/2.8 gives more flexibility for low light and shallow depth of field. 12mm vs 14mm makes a surprisingly big difference for architecture and astro work. The Tamron’s 12 aperture blades deliver smoother bokeh than Nikon’s 7–8 blade designs.
