Calvin Klein Spec Ad

Shot on 35mm B&W Film by Hudson Media

Hudson Media presents a Calvin Klein spec ad shot entirely on 35mm black-and-white film. Using Kodak TMax 400, Ilford HP5+ 400, Ilford Delta Pro 100, and Ilford Delta Pro 400, this campaign was captured in natural light to create a timeless, minimalist look. The shoot took place at Hudson Media’s home studio in Wasilla, Alaska, with high-quality Canon cameras and prime lenses.

The spec ad was shot on Canon EOS 1n and Canon EOS 3 cameras with a selection of lenses, including the Canon 50mm, Canon 35mm, Sigma 50mm, Canon 24mm, and Sigma 20mm. The natural light from 12 PM to 6 PM helped create a soft, elegant look. The film was purchased from Stewart's Photo and scanned by MEDIAM Film Lab, ensuring the high quality of the final images.
