The new look reflects maturity and confidence of the acclaimed Spanish drama series.
Following the worldwide success of its 2019 debut, the second season of HIERRO recently premiered on Movistar in Spain, once again featuring the photography of cinematographer Jose Luis Bernal who this time relied on Cooke Anamorphic/i SF (Special Flair) lenses to create a new look for the series.

data-src=https://gcs.creativecow.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/12010246/BTSPhone3.jpeg alt= class=lazyload wp-image-2405813/> It would have been very easy to copy exactly what we did in the first season, but speaking with [director] Jorge Coira we decided to continue with the essence and personality that the series already had, while giving it the maturity that we had acquired with it, said Bernal. We wanted to find the path that would lead us to something even more visually powerful.

The first was the change of lenses, shooting the second season with Cooke Anamorphic/i SF prime lenses, while the second was to give the image a much more natural appearance by contrasting, densifying and softening the texture.

If you know it and have studied it previously, it is not as accentuated as in other anamorphic lenses, he said. These lenses have a very energetic anamorphic look; they allow you to shoot at full aperture without obtaining a very washed and undefined image. They have aberrations at the top and bottom, which for me are beautiful. These aberrations or distortions are not extremely pronounced and that is appreciated. The bokeh is wonderful, and the lenses are also very flattering when photographing faces.

It combines the typical anamorphic flare with some flare that reminds us of spherical flares that are a little softer. Unlike with other anamorphic lenses, they do not always appear with any camera or reflection light, and as a cinematographer and spectator, I appreciate this since they are much more spontaneous and are not always present.
The series is shot on the real island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, a destination with a changing climate and an impressive landscape, which meant filming in different weather situations every day. This season's production largely required daytime interiors and exteriors with very few night shoots.

They make natural outdoors an
