Hasselblad Newsletter - APRIL 28, 2020

APRIL NEWSLETTER INSPIRED WITH HASSELBLAD   It’s more important now than ever before to keep up our creative spirit and remain connected through our common love of photography. We are faced with the added challenge of being isolated, so for many of us, our living rooms have become our studios. Learn more about #InspiredWithHasselblad for a chance to be featured on our channels here. PÅL HANSEN'S HOLLYWOOD FACES ON HASSELBLAD   Norwegian photographer Pål Hansen has photographed an immense list of notable celebrities, including Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Nicole Kidman, and Danny DeVito. With his reputation of making anyone feel at ease in front of his camera, Pål always comes away with a unique story of his own about how it is to photograph these star subjects. See more images and stories here. X1D II QUICK HOW-TO VIDEOS   Check out our quick X1D II How-To Videos to get simple reminders about how to navigate the mirrorless X System camera, including how to enable back-button focus, different live view display choices, and the details of saving in different file formats and storage options here. FAMILY PORTRAITS IN A TIME OF LOCKDOWN Living in London, Stephen Sweeney is used to rushing around the metropolitan city on shoots. Now, for over a month, he has been confined to his home in lockdown with his four brothers and his parents. Using this rare “everyone under one roof” occasion, he keeps his creative juices afloat by capturing beautifully lit portraits of his six family members.
