Jason Lee Parry film edits?

dylan77 · Apr 6, 2020

I am looking to find out if anyone here is familiar with Jason Lee Parrys work, and how he develops his editing style. I am looking to try something quite similar, though are quite new to film.

What type of film may be used?
How to create this often quite muted look? Is this the type of film, or Grain, fading blacks and low contrast being added after?

Thanks

What is your own experience in that sort of light?

I think you can create that look very simply with any film (except Velvia) and reflectors with little if any post processing.

Maybe it's my eyes, but I'm not seeing a muted look caused by processing, nor low contrast. Aside from red, he seems to favor pale colors, but that his choice of subject, not his processing.

Do you think most of these shots are shot as they look in natural light? I agree with pale colours, just desaturating? Thanks

They look pretty normal to me. The saturation hasn't been unnaturally increased, so they stand out from current norms.

Not sure what you mean by "edit." I looked at his website and didn't see anything remarkable. He has a penchant for shooting in harsh daylight, maybe with some reflectors for fill. It looks like he may be shooting some film, some digital. Some of the muted colors and grain seem to be coming from overexposure, but could very well be added in post, to give a more spontaneous, snapshot look to his lifestyle and fashion images.

I don't see any desaturation or any other notable manipulation. As I said, I think it's the subject matter, not the processing. The car looks pale because it IS pale, etc.

So film wise, this would be along the lines of a portra 160 then

Or Ektar, with appropriate presentation choices made at the post-processing or printing stage.
It could even be Kodak Gold, if the light conditions were handled appropriately at time of exposure.

Could it be a slight over exposure?

I'll also comment that we're seeing what appears to be "fashion" ...which means "for publication"....which means digital because no art director wants prints and only the old guys know how to view transparencies...much less how to evaluate proofs Vs original chromes.

His composition techniques are very interesting and has a great use of colour, I think he could achieve great results any which way he wanted to. If you were wanting to emulate him it would be more prudent to study his composition techniques and use of colour.

Do not advise him to imitate others.
This is bad advice.
You should advise him to have his own style.
You should have your own unique style, just like your thumbprint.
- If you seek to imitate others, it will inevitably become a trite copy of another person.

(In spite of my reservations about the method of falsifying pictures and not convinced that they are original analog pictures, I doubt very much that they have undergone a lot of modifications to Lightroom, which lost them credibility)

Mohammad my friend, young Dylan expressed a desire to "try something similar" to Jason Perry, I would suggest to first understand how he uses composition and colour.
You can learn a lot by studying how great photographers work. I haven't seen any of Perry's works before, but after viewing a number of his photographs I can see he is good at what he does.
My avatar picture is from a role of film that had sat in my camera for 10 years that I finished off and developed a few years ago. My first foray back into film photography.
I prefer to be without genre or style.

Thank you very much, Mr. Honorable, may God bless you.
I agree with you completely
Greetings to you
