“Does he really need that much of stuff?”: He did point out that when a pack fails he switches to the next one. And everything we use at some point will fail and last thing you want to do with a client or any shoot is to say, “Sorry, my equipment failed so we are done until I get that replaced.” People think about just backing up files or the body of the camera only, but so many other things need to have a backup, batteries, cables, bulbs, backdrops, lenses, filters, flashes, computers, etc.

I’m not sure why any shooter needs four beauty dishes or that many packs etc. He has more gear than some rental places. Crazy. Even the top end guy’s in NYC don’t have that much gear. Seems silly to me.

Awesome studio, it even has a play area! Love the fast recycle times of the flashes, sooo much better than my 2 sec delay :(

Yuri’s living the dream! Well done, very inspiring :)

In fact it’s a Nikon D3x (or D3s). I think he used this camera because the fps is much faster than a Hasselblad (5 fps vs 1 fps …i think). I would kill for a 1/10th of his gear! Do he really need that much of stuff?

Well the smart thing would be to have your wife help you make your house your studio so you could write it off….then slowly start taking those rooms back as normal living spaces :)

hmmm…I’m not sure why they are showing up as flash on your side. We are using the code which is YT’s newest embed code that should be HTML5. They load and play fine on my iphone which cannot play flash. Any idea why this video could be loading differently than all the others? We aren’t doing anything different

ah just read his website and it seems that he’s using a mixture of systems for different shots

it looks like he’s switched from hassalblad to canon 1Ds… does it kinda indicate that canon is really getting into the medium format market by increasing the MP on the camera?
