Swedish landscape photographer Hans Strand describes Lofoten as one of the most scenic locations on Earth. Known for its dramatic scenery and arctic beaches, Hans took both the H6D-100c and H3D with him to capture the Norwegian archipelago’s diverse environments.

SHOOTING WITH THE H SYSTEM
Capturing stunning landscapes with the H3D, Hans noticed a few major advantages when upgrading to the H6D-100c. Not only was he able to capture a greater tonal range with higher colour accuracy in his scenes but also better high ISO performance with minimized noise.

IN THE COLD OF DAY AND NIGHT
With temperatures dropping to -11 Celsius during his trip, Hans found that the H6D-100c worked perfectly in very cold weather with the battery power holding out for hours. Shooting at various hours of the day at twilight, daytime, and evening in high contrast situations, the H6D captured the soft and subtle character of the scenes with absolute colour precision.

I used the H6D-100c for the extra detail which comes from the resolution of the larger sensor, but also for its better high ISO performance and greater tonal range.

New York sur pause avec la X2D
Chaque photographe connait la marque Hasselblad, qu’il soit amateur, passionné ou professionnel, car l’histoire de la photographie repose sur Hasselblad. Pour moi, c’est un investissement pour ma carrière, pour passer à un niveau supérieur. C’est toujours important d’avoir les bons outils au bons moments pour réaliser de bonnes photos.

L’Islande en détails 100 MP envoûtants
Pour moi en tant que photographe, le X2D est comme un violon Stradivarius pour un violoniste. C’est pour moi l'appareil photo idéal.

Réalisme magique avec le X2D
Le X2D ressemble à une caméra pour peintres. Les images ont le goût et le fond technique d’une peinture. Je ne pouvais presque pas faire la différence entre les deux tellement c’est parfait. Cette caméra produit toutes les données que je pourrais utiliser pour partager les contes que je veux raconter avec mes images.
