I basically ended up combining my dad\u2019s passion for motorsports with my mum\u2019s photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCars, for me, symbolise freedom. I like to photograph cars made with passion, that have had years of design go into them,\u201d Samuel enthuses. \u201cBeautiful-looking cars are a testament to their creators \u2013 the designer that spent sleepless nights thinking about the form of that car, trying to make it as beautiful and sleek as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a creator myself, I respect that. I appreciate what goes into a beautiful sports car \u2013 so those are the vehicles I like to photograph. Cars that have a story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the FUJIFILM GFX100RF in hand, Samuel headed to the mountainous, winding roads of the Swiss-German border, where he planned to tell one such story.<\/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=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=768&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264304\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=768&amp;height=1024 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=225&amp;height=300 225w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=365&amp;height=487 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=800 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=640&amp;height=854 640w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_2.jpg?width=717&amp;height=956 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo 2025 \u00a9 Samuel Bassett | FUJIFILM GFX100RF, 1\/320 sec at F4, ISO 4000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FUJIFILM GFX100RF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing a 102-megapixel GFX System sensor within a lightweight and tactile fixed-lens body, the GFX100RF is a completely unique camera. It combines a classic, timeless design with the cutting edge of imaging technology \u2013 a juxtaposition which sparked inspiration in Samuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy plan was to photograph two cars \u2013 one old, one new,\u201d Samuel describes. \u201cI picked an older-style Porsche and a new one because the underlying design has stayed fairly similar. They look alike; they just got bigger and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to depict that because this camera has many of the traits of an old camera, but embodies new technology. And it\u2019s incredible to use,\u201d he adds.<\/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\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264305\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=768 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=300&amp;height=225 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=768&amp;height=576 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=400&amp;height=300 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=365&amp;height=274 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=600&amp;height=450 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_3.jpg?width=717&amp;height=538 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo 2025 \u00a9 Samuel Bassett | FUJIFILM GFX100RF, 1\/250 sec at F4, ISO 400<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor my honest, genuine first impression of the camera, I didn\u2019t realise how light it was going to be! I expected it to be quite heavy, but it wasn\u2019t,\u201d Samuel notes. \u201cIt was nice in hand, and so easy to work with. And it\u2019s pocketable&nbsp;\u2013 having that type of camera in your pocket is unbelievable,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, at only 735g, the rangefinder-style GFX100RF is the world\u2019s smallest ever GFX System camera. Its combined image quality and versatility open up limitless possibilities for discerning image makers.<\/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\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264306\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=768 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=300&amp;height=225 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=768&amp;height=576 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=400&amp;height=300 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=365&amp;height=274 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=600&amp;height=450 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_4.jpg?width=717&amp;height=538 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo 2025 \u00a9 Samuel Bassett | FUJIFILM GFX100RF, 1\/125 sec at F4, ISO 1250<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">102-megapixel sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the huge GFX System sensor, the GFX100RF offers an improved imaging experience across the board.

You can create extremely high-quality images for clients and brands,\u201d he enthuses. \u201cBut equally, it\u2019s a great option if you\u2019re in the high-end market and want a camera for your family.\u201d<\/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=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=768&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264308\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=768&amp;height=1024 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=225&amp;height=300 225w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=365&amp;height=487 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=600&amp;height=800 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=640&amp;height=854 640w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UK_Sam-Bassett_article-image_6.jpg?width=717&amp;height=956 717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo 2025 \u00a9 Samuel Bassett | FUJIFILM GFX100RF, 1\/15 sec at F4, ISO 1000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aspect Ratio dial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing directly from some of Fujifilm\u2019s most unique creations, the GFX100RF features a new Aspect Ratio dial, allowing users to switch between image formats from truly iconic cameras.
