It\u2019s just something that is a combination of instinct, intuition, and experience,\u201d she tells us. \u201cI feel that sifting through the mundane to \u2018find\u2019 the momentous is forced and mechanical.\u00a0Things happen when you\u2019re patient and you listen to your intuition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/x100v_suzanne-stein_05-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/x100v_suzanne-stein_05-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Overall, Suzanne feels that X100V was the perfect tool for finding the profound in everyday minutiae. \u201cI really feel that this camera is a great storyteller,\u201d she concludes. \u201cIt made me realize I don\u2019t need anything but my eyes, heart, and feelings to create pictures that mean something to me.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Street and documentary photographer, Suzanne Stein, talks about using FUJIFILM X100V to shine a spotlight on the darker side of New York City Suzanne Stein is a street and documentary photographer who likes to use her photography to explore narratives that are often difficult to read about.
