It was my first personal project made entirely with the GFX System. Coming from large format in analog photography, I sought a digital camera that could match the quality of film while providing the versatility of digital technology. GFX100 already exceeded my expectations, offering the freedom to explore digital photography while preserving the tonal range and depth I valued in my work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GFX100 II has been a natural evolution in this journey<\/strong>\u2014a new iteration of the GFX system that was both reliable and high performing. In 2024 I decided to continue working on <em>Anthropocosmos <\/em>project choosing the latest top-of-the-range within the GFX System, and it was a successful match. GFX100 II has been the perfect companion to help me push the boundaries of documentary photography.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GFX100 II, with its unparalleled resolution and dynamic range, became my portal into these futuristic landscapes. Every texture, every reflection of light, was captured with an almost hyperreal clarity, making the images feel as if they were not just of the future, but from it. The image quality of GFX100 II is truly remarkable, allowing me to see every single detail of the final image with astonishing precision. The color and tonality of the files are incredibly deep, enabling me to capture the true essence of these marvels\u2014places where the future is being built. Every shade, every subtle transition in light, was rendered with a richness that transported me into these spaces as if I were reliving them in real time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228523\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=768 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=300&amp;height=225 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=768&amp;height=576 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=400&amp;height=300 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=365&amp;height=274 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=450 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_2.jpg?width=717&amp;height=538 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When paired with <strong>Fujinon GF110mm Tilt-and-Shift Macro lens<\/strong>, the camera allowed me to manipulate perspective and depth in ways that mirrored the dreamlike and speculative essence of Anthropocosmos.

<strong>The images do not just depict technology; they explore the emotions embedded in our quest to reach beyond Earth<\/strong>. There is a sense of reverence, of wonder, and of an unspoken question: what comes next?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While crafting Anthropocosmos, I was inspired by the visual language of classic space exploration\u2014an era when the future was imagined with a mix of optimism and awe. The stark, high-contrast compositions, the deep shadows cutting through industrial corridors, and the luminous glow of control panels all contribute to a retro-futuristic aesthetic. This is a future that feels strangely familiar, as if plucked from the golden age of space-age dreams, yet still profoundly relevant to our present trajectory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With GFX100 II I was able to enhance this atmosphere, drawing out subtle details that reinforce the tension between past and future, between science and fiction. The medium format sensor captured the smooth metallic surfaces with an almost tactile quality, while the interplay of sharp detail and soft falloff created an ethereal, cinematic depth. The superior image quality of GFX100 II allowed me to push the boundaries of light and shadow, rendering details so intricate that they reveal the very soul of these places\u2014where science and imagination collide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228533\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=768 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=300&amp;height=225 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=768&amp;height=576 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=400&amp;height=300 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=365&amp;height=274 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=600&amp;height=450 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IT_Giulio-di-Sturco_anthoropocosmos_12.jpg?width=717&amp;height=538 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Anthropocosmos<\/em><\/strong><strong> is more than just a photographic series\u2014it is a reflection on humanity\u2019s evolving identity.<\/strong> Just as Marco Polo, Columbus, and Magellan redefined the world by venturing into the unknown, we now stand at the precipice of an even greater journey.
