Beyond the natural world or human behaviour, where many other image makers find their interest, it is the spaces we create and choose to live that interest her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt so drawn to photography,\u201d she begins. \u201cI couldn\u2019t really speak in words, I find that difficult, but visually I could capture a feeling. Images felt right. You can transport someone with an image. They can look at it and feel something, or be pulled towards a place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After beginning in food photography, Ren\u00e9e quickly settled into her true calling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told myself, if you want to learn more about all the essential elements of photography, the easiest thing is to build mini scenes around something available daily: food\u201d the creative continues. \u201cThat got a little bit out of hand,\u201d she laughs. \u201cAfter a few years, I got invited to New York for a photography award, but I didn\u2019t want to be a food photographer. I didn\u2019t feel connected to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realised what I really loved was playing with light, textures, and compositions. I found that in architecture and interiors. Over the past eight years, that\u2019s developed.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_02.jpg?width=240&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4235758\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro, 1\/40 sec at F5.6, ISO 160<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_03.jpg?width=240&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4235759\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro, 1\/160 sec at F5.6, ISO 100<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Finding Perspective in Architecture Photography<\/h3>\n<p>Individuality is the heart of Ren\u00e9e\u2019s work and having built her own style around it, she urges others to trust their instincts. Most recently, she\u2019s had a pair of new FUJINON lenses to shape her unique view. Presented with the opportunity to use FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro, she went about her photography process with all-new capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most beautiful thing is that every photographer will get completely different work, even at the same location. I think it takes a lot of time and self-development to understand that, though,\u201d Ren\u00e9e explains. \u201cThere\u2019s something in a space, a property or architecture, that really only speaks to you. Focus on that individual perspective. Personally, I love intimacy in my images, but there\u2019s also elegance and fragility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I love in my existing GF prime lenses is that I have some options to give me a wide perspective and others to give me beautiful, detailed frames. I think that\u2019s really nice to carry over into GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro. It\u2019s quite unusual to have a telephoto tilt-shift lens. Often, they\u2019re only made super wide, which limits you. I think this variety is beautiful to have, because for me and a lot of other people, it lets us apply tilt-shift benefits to so many different things. Partnered with the shorter lens, you have an incredible range. You can play around and take a whole different approach to scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_04.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_04.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3>Architectural Photography with Tilt Shift Lenses<\/h3>\n<p>Architecture is an ideal genre for the practical benefits of a tilt-shift lens. While there\u2019s plenty of creativity to be had, perspective correction remains first and foremost among the lens\u2019s uses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStraight lines are so important. It\u2019s always the main thing to consider, whether it\u2019s interior or exterior architecture. It\u2019s the first thing and last thing I check,\u201d Ren\u00e9e reveals. \u201cIt needs to be correct. Of course, when we show a house or a space, it has to be straight, because that\u2019s how it\u2019s built in reality, more often than not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main issue is when we photograph details. I\u2019m often working with a slightly downwards perspective, onto, let\u2019s say, furniture. You\u2019ll have a corner of a table, a window, and a wall \u2013 and all those different lines have to be straight. We can do that in post, but then we have to back up significantly, so that when we digitally straighten out the lines, it doesn\u2019t completely warp perspective, and because this process crops significantly. You lose around a quarter of an image. The other thing is, it worries clients, because when they see the image on your camera, before it\u2019s been through post-production, it doesn\u2019t look correct.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a tilt-shift lens, it\u2019s incredible, because you can fix that perspective in the moment. If you have that downwards angle, you simply tilt the lens upwards, and lines become straight. You get to keep your whole file and it looks perfect without editing. That\u2019s such a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, my style of architectural photography isn\u2019t traditional. I don\u2019t necessarily want to show the entire space. It leaves room for imagination and mystery. But for photographers including even more space, with even more lines and more complex perspectives, the benefits of tilt-shift go even further.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_05.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_05.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3>The Benefits of FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro<\/h3>\n<p>Despite specialised functionality, usability remained paramount in the design of GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro. Across both lenses, the direction of tilt and shift functionality can be altered by \u00b190\u00b0, while rotational adjustment allows the movement direction of the tilt and shift functionality to be set from orthogonal to parallel at 0\u00b0, 30\u00b0, 60\u00b0, and 90\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth lenses are so well made,\u201d Ren\u00e9e enthuses. \u201cThe dials are so smooth. And they\u2019re really a pleasure to work with, because they\u2019re so detailed yet easy to operate. I love the rotating function because it\u2019s incredibly easy to move between landscape and portrait orientation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always grateful for this level of design because it makes your kit work for you. You get so comfortable that you know exactly how to use your creative tools, and exactly what they\u2019ll give you, which is very important in photography. Your images are an extension of you, so you want your camera and lenses to be an extension of you too, because that\u2019s the only way you can create in your own specific way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_06.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_06.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3>Using FUJIFILM GFX100 II for Architecture Photography<\/h3>\n<p>GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro weren\u2019t the only new tools Ren\u00e9e had to create with, however. Both lenses were attached to the groundbreaking FUJIFILM GFX100 II body \u2013 offering astounding 102-megapixel quality with the rapid functionality of X-Processor 5.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s image quality above all else that serves Ren\u00e9e\u2019s creative vision, and GFX System\u2019s new addition reaffirms the beginnings of her large format love affair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the first few years of my career, I used a full-frame DSLR, and I enjoyed it, but the one thing I kept experiencing was lack of quality,\u201d the photographer notes. \u201cI took a job producing a billboard campaign and this camera just didn\u2019t live up to it. I noticed I needed a system that could offer me much more quality, but also usability and a range of lenses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_07.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gf30mmts_renee-kemps_07.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2023 \u00a9 Ren\u00e9e Kemps | FUJIFILM GFX100 II and FUJINON GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro, 1\/100 sec at F5.6, ISO 100<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cI started using GFX System through FUJIFILM UK\u2019s loan scheme, which was great, because when I had the biggest jobs booked, I could arrange the kit I needed. I upgraded my own camera and lenses as soon as I could, and I went straight for FUJIFILM GFX100S and four different primes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGFX100 II is better than ever. You\u2019re a composer of your images, which does mean retouching and colour correcting, or cropping further to get your perfect composition. When you photograph a property, space can become a challenge. The spot you love can be an awkward one. So, having enough sensor quality to crop with is important. With GFX100 II, the files are so huge and beautiful, you can do whatever you want to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith interiors and architecture, often it\u2019s a beautiful, slow process. You\u2019re framing and taking your time. You\u2019re setting up exactly what you want.

When you need to run out and photograph a different set-up in the space of two minutes, between your main shots, it\u2019s nice to keep the greater efficiency of a traditional prime lens. But I also feel what I really experienced with GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro is that they actually push you to be a bit more mindful about what you document, which is a good thing,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey make you slow down a little. Sometimes, you just end up running around a property photographing everything all at once, because it looks so good. With this pair, you can really say: \u2018This is the corner I want to document, and I want to have it perfect.\u2019 You live in that moment, and that\u2019s where you can create your best work.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro: Interior Life Architectural lifestyle photographer Ren\u00e9e Kemps finds a creative home in FUJINON GF30mmF5.6 T\/S and GF110mmF5.6 T\/S Macro Ren\u00e9e Kemps seeks to document a sense of place.
