Luke Davis, photographe sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 dans le lifestyle et les voyages, \u00e9voque le mat\u00e9riel, les choix stylistiques et la fa\u00e7on dont les contraintes peuvent stimuler la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luke Davis est un photographe de voyage et de lifestyle originaire du Dorset, dans le Sud-Ouest de l\u2019Angleterre. Lors de notre dernier entretien avec Luke<\/a>, il d\u00e9crivait son style de photographie comme visant \u00e0 susciter un sentiment intemporel de nostalgie. \u00ab\u00a0Je ne cherche pas \u00e0 copier le film argentique \u00e0 la lettre, mais j\u2019essaie plut\u00f4t d\u2019en reprendre certains aspects\u00a0\u00bb, explique-t-il aujourd\u2019hui. \u00ab\u00a0La douceur, ce grain un peu particulier, et des couleurs chaudes\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je dirais que mon style s\u2019est orient\u00e9 davantage vers le color\u00e9 et vibrant\u00a0: j\u2019ai clairement privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 un rendu plus \u00e9clatant dans mes images depuis environ un an\u00a0\u00bb, ajoute-t-il. \u00ab\u00a0Ce que je veux avant tout, c\u2019est que mes images ressemblent \u00e0 un souvenir, c\u2019est vraiment la base de mon style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le mot \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9vasion\u00a0\u00bb r\u00e9sume parfaitement ce que je cherche \u00e0 faire. Il y a beaucoup de photographes qui excellent dans la photographie documentaire de voyage. Pour moi, l\u2019objectif principal est de mettre en lumi\u00e8re les petits d\u00e9tails, d\u2019apporter une sensation de calme et de cr\u00e9er une version romantique de la vie.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un large spectre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certains photographes de voyage se rendent dans un lieu avec pour objectif de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 un cahier des charges sp\u00e9cifique. L\u2019approche de Luke est beaucoup plus ouverte. \u00ab Je n\u2019ai pas d\u2019intention d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00bb, affirme-t-il. \u00ab Je ne me rends pas dans un lieu pour raconter une histoire particuli\u00e8re. Souvent, il s\u2019agit simplement pour moi de m\u2019y aventurer pour la premi\u00e8re fois et de voir ce que je peux y d\u00e9couvrir : c\u2019est tout le principe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon seul v\u00e9ritable objectif est de balayer l\u2019endroit du regard autant que possible. J\u2019essaie de ne pas me concentrer sur les images spectaculaires. Je ne m\u2019attache pas non plus seulement aux petits d\u00e9tails. Je veux avoir une grande vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de photos \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter. J\u2019essaie d\u2019imaginer que je cr\u00e9e un livre photo sur ce lieu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je recherche une grande image de couverture, mais je veux aussi voir \u00e0 quoi ressemblent les gens et montrer certains de ces petits d\u00e9tails qu\u2019on n\u00e9glige souvent. J\u2019essaie de saisir des petits et des grands moments, pour pr\u00e9senter un large spectre. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un bon photographe de voyage sait comment utiliser efficacement son temps limit\u00e9 sur place. \u00ab Il est utile d\u2019avoir un itin\u00e9raire approximatif \u00bb, explique Luke. \u00ab J\u2019essaie de concilier le fait d\u2019avoir quelques zones \u00e0 explorer, tout en m\u2019octroyant ensuite de la libert\u00e9 entre ces moments. Cela me permet de trouver un \u00e9quilibre. Vous \u00eates g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement soumis \u00e0 des contraintes de temps et vous \u00eates sous pression pour donner le meilleur de vous-m\u00eame \u00e0 chaque endroit. Mais j\u2019ai appris ces derniers temps \u00e0 l\u00e2cher prise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il s\u2019agit de se laisser impr\u00e9gner par un lieu. J\u2019\u00e9vite de me soumettre \u00e0 une pression excessive pour cr\u00e9er, car elle finirait par affecter mon appr\u00e9ciation d’un lieu et, \u00e0 son tour, ma photographie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, j\u2019ai tendance \u00e0 photographier \u00e0 tout-va lorsque j\u2019arrive dans un lieu : je commence imm\u00e9diatement \u00e0 prendre des photos. Mais d\u00e9sormais, je cherche \u00e0 m\u2019impr\u00e9gner d\u2019un lieu avant de sortir mon appareil photo. C\u2019est important de prendre un moment pour \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent. Vous pouvez alors mieux comprendre le lieu, et ainsi donner davantage de profondeur \u00e0 vos images. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’\u00e9quipement adapt\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luke a trouv\u00e9 le partenaire cr\u00e9atif id\u00e9al pour son approche de la photographie de voyage : la S\u00e9rie X de Fujifilm. \u00ab Je recherche des images \u00e0 tr\u00e8s haute r\u00e9solution, mais je veux aussi un aspect plus doux et argentique, un m\u00e9lange de ces deux mondes. Fujifilm permet de concilier ces deux approches et de trouver le meilleur \u00e9quilibre entre elles \u00bb, explique-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Fujifilm s\u2019appuie sur son h\u00e9ritage de l\u2019\u00e8re argentique, et on retrouve ce savoir-faire dans la mani\u00e8re dont ils con\u00e7oivent leurs appareils photo et leurs simulations de film. Ils insufflent une \u00e2me \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quipement tout en exploitant les avantages de la technologie des appareils num\u00e9riques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Mon appareil photo pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 est le FUJIFILM X-T5<\/a>. J\u2019y reviens toujours, il sait tout faire. Il offre toute la r\u00e9solution dont j’ai besoin, l’autofocus est excellent, il dispose d\u2019une stabilisation IBIS incroyable, il filme des vid\u00e9os superbes et son format n\u2019est pas si imposant que cela. Pour moi, c\u2019est ce qui se rapproche le plus d\u2019un appareil photo parfait.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke souligne \u00e0 quel point il est important de prendre en compte la portabilit\u00e9 de votre \u00e9quipement photographique de voyage. \u00ab La taille et le poids sont des facteurs cl\u00e9s, ce que j\u2019ai appris \u00e0 mieux appr\u00e9cier depuis un an ou deux \u00bb, explique-t-il. \u00ab J\u2019ai compris ce que j\u2019aimais dans mes objectifs et je me suis mis \u00e0 choisir soigneusement l\u2019\u00e9quipement \u00e0 emporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 mes d\u00e9buts, je mettais tout mon \u00e9quipement dans un sac pour avoir toutes les options pr\u00eates \u00e0 l\u2019emploi. Aujourd\u2019hui, mon kit est beaucoup plus minimaliste. J\u2019emporte deux, peut-\u00eatre trois objectifs avec moi. Il y en aurait eu six ou sept il y a quelques ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La paralysie du choix existe vraiment. Vous pouvez passer du temps \u00e0 changer d\u2019objectif et \u00e0 h\u00e9siter sur la focale qui conviendrait \u00e0 chaque sc\u00e9nario. Ou vous pouvez simplement adopter un objectif de 35 mm et accepter de rater \u00e9ventuellement quelques images qu\u2019un \u00e9quipement diff\u00e9rent aurait pu r\u00e9ussir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette restriction stimule la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 et vous oblige \u00e0 aborder les choses autrement que si vous aviez toutes les focales possibles \u00e0 disposition. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectifs de la S\u00e9rie X pour la photographie de voyage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab J\u2019ai toujours pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 les objectifs standard, dans le style du 50 mm \u00bb, affirme Luke. \u00ab Je n\u2019ai pas toujours d\u2019objectif grand-angle dans mon sac, mais quand c\u2019est le cas, j\u2019aime beaucoup avoir la perspective de 18 mm. Ce n\u2019est pas trop grand-angle, mais ce n\u2019est pas trop compress\u00e9 non plus. Pour un grand-angle, il se situe juste au milieu. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FUJINON XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR<\/a>, un objectif professionnel et r\u00e9sistant aux intemp\u00e9ries avec une focale \u00e9quivalente \u00e0 27\u00a0mm en plein format, qui offre une qualit\u00e9 optique exceptionnelle pour une longueur focale grand-angle. \u00ab\u00a0Pour moi, c\u2019est l\u2019objectif de r\u00eave pour les plans larges\u00a0\u00bb, explique Luke. \u00ab\u00a0Si je m\u2019imagine cr\u00e9er le livre photo d\u2019un lieu, le XF18mmF1.4 est l\u2019objectif que j\u2019utiliserais pour l\u2019image de couverture, une vue qui englobe tout le lieu.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FUJINON XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR<\/a> offre une qualit\u00e9 optique similaire avec une perspective l\u00e9g\u00e8rement plus \u00e9troite. \u00ab\u00a0Je le d\u00e9crirais comme un objectif polyvalent\u00a0\u00bb, remarque Luke. \u00ab\u00a0Il y a une raison pour laquelle les appareils photo comme le FUJIFILM X100VI<\/a> sont si populaires, avec un objectif fixe \u00e0 cette longueur focale\u00a0: il est id\u00e9al avec sa grande polyvalence. Vous pouvez recadrer en cas de besoin pour vous rapprocher du sujet, et il a assez de compression pour obtenir des clich\u00e9s de d\u00e9tails plus plats. Mais il a \u00e9galement un champ de vision suffisamment large pour que vous puissiez reculer et obtenir un tr\u00e8s bon clich\u00e9 d\u2019ensemble. Si je devais ne prendre qu\u2019un seul objectif de voyage, ce serait celui-l\u00e0.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les mod\u00e8les XF18mmF1.4 et XF23mmF1.4 offrent tous deux des conceptions optiques exceptionnelles, avec une clart\u00e9 \u00e9tonnante sur l\u2019ensemble de l\u2019image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Je suis toujours impressionn\u00e9 par la nettet\u00e9 de ces objectifs \u00e0 grande ouverture. Le cas \u00e9ch\u00e9ant, vous pourriez simplement les laisser \u00e0 f\/1.4 et les oublier. Cette grande ouverture pr\u00e9sente des avantages \u00e9vidents : de bonnes performances par faible luminosit\u00e9 et une faible profondeur de champ. J\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 utilis\u00e9 des objectifs qui n\u00e9cessitent de fermer le diaphragme pour obtenir des performances optimales. Ne pas avoir cette contrainte est un v\u00e9ritable soulagement pour moi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le plus grand avantage est de pouvoir travailler \u00e0 grande ouverture sans craindre de compromettre la qualit\u00e9 d\u2019image. Et m\u00eame si l\u2019objectif est l\u00e9g\u00e8rement plus grand, il reste assez compact. Au final, c\u2019est toujours un objectif APS-C. Lorsque je retire le pare-soleil, il fait \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s la taille d\u2019une canette. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour une focale fixe encore plus compacte, la gamme d’objectifs de la S\u00e9rie\u00a0X offre de nombreuses options hautement portables. \u00ab\u00a0Bien s\u00fbr, vous avez les focales fixes f\/2, qui sont encore plus petites\u00a0\u00bb, ajoute Luke. \u00ab\u00a0Pour les voyages, c\u2019est une option particuli\u00e8rement discr\u00e8te. Par exemple, le FUJINON XF35mmF2 R WR<\/a> r\u00e9sistant aux intemp\u00e9ries offre une focale embl\u00e9matique \u00e9quivalente \u00e0 53\u00a0mm pour un poids de 170\u00a0g seulement et 45,9\u00a0mm de longueur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019adore ce champ de vision \u00bb, s\u2019enthousiasme Luke. \u00ab J\u2019opterais pour le XF23mmF1.4 en raison de sa polyvalence, mais mon pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9, ce serait un appareil avec cette focale de 35 mm. C\u2019est ma focale d\u2019\u00eele d\u00e9serte. Elle permet une certaine marge de man\u0153uvre, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai de l\u2019espace pour travailler. Et elle offre cette compression plate, presque picturale, qui me pla\u00eet dans mes images. Je dirais que j\u2019utilise cette focale dans au moins la moiti\u00e9 de mon travail. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour une flexibilit\u00e9 optimale, Luke sugg\u00e8re un zoom \u00e0 ouverture fixe tel que le FUJINON XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR<\/a>. Il est r\u00e9cemment revenu d\u2019un voyage au Japon, o\u00f9 ce zoom standard lui a permis de rester r\u00e9actif \u00e0 son environnement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab C\u2019est toujours cette id\u00e9e de polyvalence \u00bb, dit-il. \u00ab Mon travail ne n\u00e9cessite pas n\u00e9cessairement une tr\u00e8s grande ouverture, donc dans ce cas, d\u2019autant plus que le Japon figurait sur ma liste de lieux \u00e0 visiter, je ne voulais rien manquer. Avoir toute cette gamme \u00e9tait parfait. J\u2019avais toujours une focale fixe standard avec moi, juste au cas o\u00f9 je rechercherais une faible profondeur de champ ou que je me retrouverais dans des conditions de faible luminosit\u00e9. Mais j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 avec le zoom de l\u2019appareil photo et c\u2019est ce que j\u2019ai fini par utiliser 90 % du temps. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019enthousiasme de Luke pour la photographie, associ\u00e9 \u00e0 son exploration d\u2019un nouveau lieu, l\u2019am\u00e8ne souvent \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un grand nombre de photos au cours d\u2019un voyage. \u00ab J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire le tri au fur et \u00e0 mesure \u00bb, admet-il. \u00ab Je ne le faisais jamais avant \u2013 je mitraillais, puis je rentrais chez moi avec 6 000 photos \u00e0 passer en revue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, je parcours le menu de lecture \u00e0 l\u2019arri\u00e8re de l\u2019appareil photo \u00e0 la fin de chaque journ\u00e9e. Si vous appuyez sur le bouton AEL (verrouillage de l\u2019exposition), la notation en \u00e9toile s\u2019affiche. Je passe alors les photos en revue et je marque toutes celles que je veux garder avec une \u00e9toile. Cela me permet de gagner un temps fou \u00e0 mon retour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette pratique d\u00e9coule simplement de mon amour de la photographie. Je suis enthousiaste \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e de regarder les images de la journ\u00e9e. J\u2019aime les voir et me demander : \u00ab Est-ce une image de portfolio ? \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created \u201cSteel City\u201d with a clear objective in mind: to translate what London reveals in winter, when the city is cold, dense, and often quiet despite constant movement. A restrained FS RECIPE that reflects the city as it is experienced day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The starting point was REALA ACE. It\u2019s a deliberately understated, almost restrained simulation, and that\u2019s precisely what makes it relevant for urban photography. It doesn\u2019t force colours, doesn\u2019t dramatise scenes, and respects textures. In London, especially around the Southbank, everything is about surfaces: concrete, steel, glass, wet asphalt, low skies, reflections in the Thames. REALA ACE allows this reality to remain intact, without trying to correct it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The choice of settings was built around a simple idea: embracing the cold. The images were taken in the heart of the London winter, under grey, diffuse, often uniform light. By shifting the white balance toward cooler, bluish tones and reducing the presence of reds, I aimed to reproduce this visual temperature. The city appears more mineral, more distant, but also more truthful. The people photographed are not isolated from their environment; they are part of it. They move through the city in harmony with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Contrast plays an important role. London is a city of passage: people crossing, lingering briefly, then disappearing. By deepening the SHADOWS while keeping HIGHLIGHTS under control, shapes take precedence over details. Silhouettes stand out, bodies become graphic elements within the architecture. The DR200 setting is essential here: it makes it possible to retain both bright skies and fa\u00e7ades, as well as dark areas under bridges or around brutalist buildings, without crushing the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Colour is intentionally restrained. London is not devoid of colour, but it appears in touches: a coat, a sign, a reflection, something in motion. By reducing overall saturation, these elements naturally stand out when they appear. Strong COLOR CHROME adds density to mid-tones, gives weight to materials, and reinforces the sense of a \u201csolid\u201d city. Boosting the blues supports the overall atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I slightly reduced clarity to avoid an overly digital harshness. The city is already full of sharp angles and hard textures, there\u2019s no need to add more. This subtle softness helps preserve fluidity, especially in scenes with movement: hurried walkers, skaters, blurred passers-by. Grain is present, discreet, like a texture, to emphasize a natural city that is never perfectly smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most of these images were taken around the Southbank: a space that is both open and brutal, where people coexist with architecture without necessarily stopping to engage with it. Skaters on concrete, passers-by beneath buildings, silhouettes lost in volumes too large for them. What interested me was the silent interaction between Londoners and their city: how they move through it, occupy it, and gradually make it their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in Vancouver, light and colour are often limited. muted skies, muted streets, concrete surfaces. Because of that, I\u2019ve learned to appreciate light and colour more, not less. When they appear, even subtly, they matter. Soft, di\ufb00used light has become something I pay attention to instinctively, not because it is impressive, but because oftentimes it is rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuji\ufb01lm cameras enabled that way of seeing for me. The experience of slowing down, framing deliberately, and committing to a moment trained my attention toward what already exists, rather than what needs to be chased. “CLOCKWISE ACE” came out of that habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I Built This FS Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I created “CLOCKWISE ACE” to support how I actually photograph. I wanted a FS RECIPE that stays close to reality while allowing everyday scenes to feel considered and intentional. I chose REALA ACE as the base because it already carried a sense of balance and restraint. It felt neutral without being \ufb02at, and calm without feeling detached. Rather than reshaping it into something else, I treated it as a foundation that could be gently re\ufb01ned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was never to impose a look. It was to let light, colour, and texture behave naturally, especially in environments where nothing is exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaping “CLOCKWISE ACE”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The adjustments I made to REALA ACE were minimal and deliberate. Highlights were toned down and shadows lifted to soften overall contrast. This allows tones to transition more gently and keeps images from feeling tense or overly de\ufb01ned. Colour was restrained slightly so it remains present without overwhelming the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this softer contrast, I normally compose my images about one third to two thirds of a stop brighter. That exposure approach works with the FS RECIPE, allowing mid tones and subtle colour to settle naturally while preserving detail across the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“CLOCKWISE ACE” is not about adding character. It is about removing friction between what I see and how it is rendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Attention in the Everyday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy creating images that catch attention immediately. What makes them noticeable, however, is not spectacle, but where they come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the images I make are crafted by noticing small things in everyday life. A shift in light. A colour relationship. A moment that would normally pass without being acknowledged. They stand out because they exist within the mundane, not outside of it. Soft, di\ufb00used light plays a big role in that. It allows details to surface quietly and colours to relate to each other honestly. “CLOCKWISE ACE” supports this by staying responsive rather than dominant, present without overpowering the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A FS Recipe for Daily Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“CLOCKWISE ACE” was built for daily use. soft days, window light, streets walked without a destination, interiors lived in rather than styled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It re\ufb02ects how I approach photography as a whole. Carrying a camera. Noticing what is already there. Appreciating light and colour precisely because they are not guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By staying close to REALA ACE and adjusting only what was necessary, this FS RECIPE became a tool that supports attention rather than replacing it. When the simulation fades into the background, what remains is the everyday scene, held carefully in soft light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I photograph, my attention often turns to the atmosphere that surrounds fleeting moments of everyday life\u2014the impressions shaped by light, and the quiet temperature of the spaces themselves.

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

People sometimes say that my photographs resemble me. In a way, that phrase has come to feel like the most accurate way to describe my work. To me, photography is ultimately a mirror that reflects the inner world of the person behind the camera. A photograph carries not only the scene itself, but also the photographer\u2019s way of seeing\u2014their attitude and sensibility\u2014quietly embedded within the frame. Rather than adding more, I have gradually come to search for a sense of simplicity. Through that process, my photographs have naturally found their own inner direction. Perhaps each image quietly reflects my gaze, deepening little by little over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that sense, PRO Neg. Std felt closely aligned with the intention behind this work. With this FS RECIPE, I wanted to express the atmosphere of subjects, landscapes, and spaces in a quieter, more contemplative way.

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even under strong light, its soft density prevents the image from becoming harsh. This allowed me to render the natural texture of the subject without exaggeration, while preserving the quiet, mist-like stillness that flows through the entire scene. The process of discovering a resonance between my own way of seeing and the character of this FS RECIPE ultimately became the most meaningful part of this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
