I was immediately attracted by its unique vintage design. When I used it, I realized that it was the perfect camera for my way of photographing and I have not abandoned it anymore since then. It has always been an excellent second camera for me.<\/p>\n<p>Some months ago I had the honor to test the new Fujifilm X100V. It is a pocket camera with high performance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_01-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I did a photoshoot in my studio with two models. It was a different situation for this kind of camera, which is usually used for street or reportage photography.<\/p>\n<p>I think it is interesting to let people know about the extraordinary potential of this professional compact camera, suitable for many settings, such as portrait and fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The lens, which is a must of the series X100, is a fixed 35mm camera lens with f2.0, perfect for portraiture, as it offers a very realistic point of view. This focal lens invites us to go closer to the subject to shoot, improving in this way the interaction, which is very important to perform a good portrait.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_02-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_02-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_03-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_03-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I often take a picture directly in jpeg, and when I told this, many photographers are astonished.

Besides having a completely new designed lens, it has higher performance in comparison to the previous one. I usually take my photos using ambient light and I must admit to having been amazed by the fast and precise focus, also in low light situations.<\/p>\n<p>In the first years (1994) I used to work for fashion magazines and do reportages and editorial works, often in external locations. It was on such occasions that I learned how to use better the natural light that I had in different situations. I could find a very bright sky when I took my photos at midday, or a very cloudy day and have softer light. In any case, I had to do my photoshoot.<br \/>\nI have learned to adapt to the different light I found every day. It was an experience that has contributed to characterize more and more my style. Also in my studio, I have wide knurled glass windows in a north-east direction, through which a very soft light filters.<\/p>\n<p>In the photoshoot done with the models Elisabetta and Marilena I have used ambient light as well as two 200W led lights and bank diffusers 50&#215;140. I use very often continuous led light because I can have complete and immediate control of the lights.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_07-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_07-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_08-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_08-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_09-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x100v-mymilestone_alberto-buzzanca_09-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>So, once I have set time and aperture in the camera, I can focus completely on the person, I am portraying.<\/p>\n<p>I usually take photos for some minutes, a maximum of 5 minutes, then I do some intervals during which I download the images and I have a look at them on the monitor with the client.<br \/>\nIt is a good technique. I have noticed that the client if he has a look at the pictures immediately, realized the results we are reaching and has new energy to carry out better the fixed work. It is not a case that the last photos of every photoshoot are always the best.<\/p>\n<p>The understanding between photographer and person to portray is essential in order to achieve high-quality photos and it must be based on respect and trust.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere created during the photoshoot is very important and the photographer must conduct firmly the different phases giving the persons to portray all indications and making them feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Concentration and empathy during the work are important to obtain real and spontaneous photos.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Fujifilm X100 was presented in 2011 it was love at first sight.
