For the love if it with Jonathan Bielaski | Portrait photography | Phase One

Описание: Growing up in his father's custom photographic lab, Jonathan Bieleski was destined to become a photographer. At the age of 14 he bought his first 4x5 camera with his own hard earned money. The 4x5 was different. It looked funny compared to the 35mm his peers were using and he fell in love with the quirkiness of it. From this point, Jonathan had no doubts; photography was all he wanted to do.

Jonathan's devotion to his profession inspired him to start his personal project "For the love of it". For the love of it studies the relationship between who you are and what you do. He captures strong personalities who have succeeded professionally doing what they love to do.

This is from Jonathan's photo shoot with Head Brew Master Marek Mikunda at Steam Whistle Brewing:

"I'm Jon Bielaski and we're at Steam Whistle Brewing today.

Today we're using the Phase One camera system. We're using an IQ180 which is an 80 megapixel camera back. The big advantage and why I use it on environmental portraits and definitely on location is the fact that it can capture all minute details of the environment.
The other big thing about using the IQ180 and the Phase One system is that when we're in industrial environments or out and about it has got the ruggedness and durability to actually stand up to the environments.
For example today we're in kettles that are boiling, it's super hot upstairs where we're doing the shoot and there is steam all over the place. The back can handle the humidity, the temperature and all that type of stuff. Working with the Phase One camera system means that we can capture everything like we used to with film. Capture it in camera, allowing me to spend as little time in post-production as possible. So it actually speeds up my workflow, it increases the quality of my images and it gives me a huge dynamic range to work with so we can capture the details in the shadows and in the highlights.

Everybody has a story as long as you listen to them and people that are passionate about what they do and passionate about their careers will have no problem telling you so my favorite thing about this project is finding the people, learning about them, going into their environment and creating amazing imagery."
