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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=682&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=682&amp;height=1024 682w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=200&amp;height=300 200w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=365&amp;height=548 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=600&amp;height=900 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=390&amp;height=585 390w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=563&amp;height=845 563w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=131&amp;height=197 131w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=400&amp;height=600 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=355&amp;height=533 355w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=306&amp;height=459 306w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=183&amp;height=275 183w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=653&amp;height=980 653w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KR_Gyu-yeon-Lee_PRO-Neg.Std_03.jpg?width=480&amp;height=720 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In that sense, PRO Neg.

It started in the film days,\u00a0the process of carefully loading rolls into cameras, counting frames, and trusting my instincts with every click. There was no instant validation, only patience. The reward came later, when I finally held printed photographs in my hands, admiring images filled with grain, texture, and quiet imperfections that carried an unmistakable sense of nostalgia. That tactile experience shaped not just how I photograph, but how I\u00a0<em>feel<\/em>\u00a0photographs to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=800&amp;height=533 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=688&amp;height=459 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=413&amp;height=275 413w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_01.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those early years taught me to slow down and to see light more intentionally. Every frame mattered. Every moment carried weight.

Fujifilm\u2019s color science and Film Simulations opened up an entirely new creative world for me, one that resonated deeply with my film roots. In an era where many photographers spend countless hours refining images in post-production, I found myself moving in the opposite direction, rediscovering the joy of shooting JPEGs straight out of camera. The idea of getting the look right at the moment of capture excited me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=682&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=682&amp;height=1024 682w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=200&amp;height=300 200w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=365&amp;height=548 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=600&amp;height=900 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=390&amp;height=585 390w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=563&amp;height=845 563w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=131&amp;height=197 131w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=400&amp;height=600 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=355&amp;height=533 355w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=306&amp;height=459 306w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=183&amp;height=275 183w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=653&amp;height=980 653w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_03.jpg?width=480&amp;height=720 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Fujifilm\u2019s Q button to create and fine-tune FS RECIPEs quickly became a process I genuinely enjoy. It feels like mixing chemicals in a darkroom, adjusting WHITE BALANCE, contrast, grain, shadows, and color response until the image speaks the way I remember film once did. These FS RECIPEs allow me to craft moods and textures that feel intentional, timeless, and emotionally grounded. The result is images that are instantly ready to share, carrying a refined, classy, vintage character without the need for heavy editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=682&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=682&amp;height=1024 682w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=200&amp;height=300 200w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=365&amp;height=548 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=600&amp;height=900 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=390&amp;height=585 390w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=563&amp;height=845 563w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=131&amp;height=197 131w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=400&amp;height=600 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=355&amp;height=533 355w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=306&amp;height=459 306w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=183&amp;height=275 183w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=653&amp;height=980 653w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SG_Derrick-Ong_Stories_04.jpg?width=480&amp;height=720 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been deeply immersed in experimenting with different Fujifilm Film Simulations, revisiting looks I once loved during my film days and translating them into a digital language.

Std.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my portrait and fashion portrait work, I have always aimed to move away from strict realism, favoring instead a more emotional, suspended, almost cinematic image. This FS RECIPE is an attempt to make that atmosphere consistent and intentional, directly in-camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The starting point was the way I use light in the studio. I often work with controlled lighting, both flash and continuous, seeking a balance between softness and structure. I am not interested in an overly sharp or clinical rendering of the skin, but in images that suggest more than they reveal. For this reason, I developed a simulation with slightly denatured tones and a delicate yet intentional color palette, capable of reducing saturation without flattening the image. The colors become quieter, allowing emotion and presence to take precedence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=800&amp;height=533 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=688&amp;height=459 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=413&amp;height=275 413w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IT_Paolo-Emanuele-Barretta_PRO-Neg.Std_2.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>SHADOW play a central role in \u201cVelvet Hase\u201d.

Leo and Nesto are two close friends immersed in the everyday rituals of childhood, videogames, drones, and casual mischief, until they wake one morning to discover that all adults have vanished. What initially feels like complete freedom slowly reveals deeper implications. Without authority or imposed rules, imagination flourishes, but responsibility begins to surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, the film avoids over stylization. Rao\u2019s intention was clear: \u201cFrom the very beginning, my intention was for the camera to quietly serve the story rather than call attention to itself. Every shot had a narrative purpose.\u201d That restraint became the foundation upon which Fiore built the film\u2019s visual language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=436\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=436 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=300&amp;height=128 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=768&amp;height=327 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=400&amp;height=170 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=365&amp;height=155 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=600&amp;height=255 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=717&amp;height=305 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=800&amp;height=340 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=688&amp;height=293 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=490&amp;height=208 490w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_11.jpg?width=936&amp;height=398 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As Mauro Fiore explains, \u201cThe visual approach of this film was very interesting in how it came about, because I had many discussions with Fabio. He wanted to place the story in a situation that felt like fantasy, reality, and hyper-reality. So, we discussed all these possibilities.\u201d Rather than separating these dimensions through distinct visual treatments, the filmmakers chose continuity and subtle modulation, allowing shifts in perception to emerge naturally within the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=436\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=436 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=300&amp;height=128 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=768&amp;height=327 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=400&amp;height=170 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=365&amp;height=155 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=600&amp;height=255 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=717&amp;height=305 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=800&amp;height=340 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=688&amp;height=293 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=490&amp;height=208 490w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_04_2.jpg?width=936&amp;height=398 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The camera often remains close to the characters, and sometimes uncomfortably so, before occasionally opening up to reveal the surrounding world. This balance between intimacy and distance becomes central to how the story is experienced, keeping the audience aligned with the characters\u2019 evolving sense of freedom and unease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medium format, lenses, and spatial rhythm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice to shoot with FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55, combined with the Premista lenses, shaped not only the film\u2019s aesthetic but also its internal rhythm. The medium-format sensor allowed Fiore to hold more spatial information within each frame, reinforcing a sense of depth and dimensionality while maintaining emotional closeness to the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mauro Fiore\u2019s long experience with Fujinon Premista lenses, particularly Fujinon Premista 28-100mT2.9, played a decisive role in translating this potential into practice. \u201cI have quite a bit of experience with Premista lenses, and I\u2019m especially familiar with the 28\u2013100mm. It performs amazingly well,\u201d he notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Fabio, the camera&#8217;s huge sensor is what truly unlocked that optical potential.\u00a0\u201cThe format itself amplifies that vision,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;The expansiveness of the sensor allows us to capture more in every frame, giving the film a distinctive look and a narrative rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination of large-format sensor and lenses proved especially valuable when working in confined spaces. Medium and even wide shots could be captured from very short distances, sometimes as close as one meter, without sacrificing spatial coherence. The result is a visual language that feels open and immersive yet never detached from the characters at its center.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

\u201cAutomatically, it makes you feel like the world around you is surrounding you.\u201d The widescreen frame subtly reinforces the film\u2019s emotional tension, mirroring the children\u2019s

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighting the path home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although <em>Dove Sono Mamma e Pap\u00e0? <\/em>&nbsp;is not autobiographical, its connection to place carries particular resonance for Mauro Fiore. Long based in the United States, Calabria remains his homeland and returning to shoot there added an understated but meaningful layer to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film was shot entirely in real locations across the region during the height of summer, in towns and spaces that remained active and crowded throughout production. Rather than reshaping locations to fit the film, the crew adapted their methods to each place day by day. Calabria\u2019s natural light, often harsh and vertical at midday, then softer and more sculptural in the late afternoon, became an expressive element rather than a constraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported by a fully local crew, Fiore\u2019s visual approach drew on both technical precision and familiarity with the environment. The region\u2019s landscapes, light, and rhythms quietly inform the film\u2019s tone, grounding its more surreal elements in a tangible sense of place. In this way, Calabria becomes more than a setting: it is an unspoken presence within the film\u2019s visual identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A camera in the service of narrative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From a production standpoint, Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55 proved itself as a Film-making camera designed for professional, narrative-driven workflows. Its robust cinema-style construction, industry-standard connections, adaptable native lens mount, and visually stepless internal electronic variable ND filter offered flexibility across a wide range of shooting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The F-Log2 C profile provided substantial latitude for color grading, while Fujifilm\u2019s Film Simulations and new Film Simulation 3D LUTs, each inspired by analog film stocks, expanded creative options without imposing a predetermined aesthetic. The camera\u2019s design encouraged choice rather than prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rao also explored GFX ETERNA 55 independently in a documentary context, pairing it with a rehoused Fujinon EBC 28mm lens and using ACROS Film Simulation, an experience he describes as intuitive and expressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=436\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=436 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=300&amp;height=128 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=768&amp;height=327 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=400&amp;height=170 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=365&amp;height=155 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=600&amp;height=255 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=717&amp;height=305 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=800&amp;height=340 800w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=688&amp;height=293 688w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=490&amp;height=208 490w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_09.jpg?width=936&amp;height=398 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mauro Fiore, the camera also aligns with a broader creative philosophy: \u201cEvery film needs its own way of being told. Every film needs its own story. Whether it\u2019s oil paints, tempera, or pastels, it\u2019s always a matter of what is right for that narrative. I feel the same way about cameras.\u201d Within this framework, the GFX ETERNA 55 is not positioned as a universal solution, but as a tool whose value emerges through its relationship with story, place, and creative intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, <em>Dove Sono Mamma e Pap\u00e0?<\/em> offers a considered example of how medium-format cinematography, guided by an experienced visual author, can support intimate storytelling, balancing scale and proximity while remaining firmly anchored to narrative purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-358121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=768 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=300&amp;height=225 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=768&amp;height=576 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=400&amp;height=300 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=365&amp;height=274 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=600&amp;height=450 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=717&amp;height=538 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=263&amp;height=197 263w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=711&amp;height=533 711w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=612&amp;height=459 612w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=367&amp;height=275 367w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gfx-eterna_mauro-fiore_08.jpg?width=936&amp;height=702 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dove Sono Mamma e Pap\u00e0?

Juan isn\u2019t interested in heavy manipulation or flashy effects. His work starts in reality, then shifts slightly through color, contrast, or a carefully placed element that introduces tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of portraits of real people that show real textures of skin, with a little element of something whimsical,\u201d he explains. \u201cJust a pop of color or something interesting that grabs the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, he\u2019s been doing so with an in-camera look of his own devising.

Highlights are lowered and Shadows raised for crisper contrast. Color is pushed slightly for impact without oversaturation. SHARPNESS and CLARITY are reduced to avoid a brittle digital edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of grain,\u201d Juan says. \u201cIt adds to the texture of the skin.

I\u2019ve been photographing weddings, portraits, and events for nearly 20 years. I was born in Hong Kong and am now based in Auckland, New Zealand. Whenever I have spare time, I enjoy walking the streets with my camera, capturing the stories unfolding around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many people, specifications and numbers determine which lens they choose. But for me, selecting a lens has never been just about the specs. Over the years, I\u2019ve realized the specs only tell you part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every lens carries its own point of view. It determines what you include in the frame, what you leave out, and how a moment is remembered. In many ways, it defines your relationship with photography itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started, I was often told to upgrade from entry-level lenses as quickly as possible. If I wanted to create meaningful work, I needed better glass. Something more serious, more professional. At the time, I believed that. But both technology and my photography have changed dramatically since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, many entry-level lenses are remarkably capable. More importantly, I\u2019ve learned that creativity doesn\u2019t come from expensive equipment. It comes from your heart, your eyes, and your curiosity to explore the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been using the FUJINON XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS Lens(XC13-33mm) for some time now, and the more I work with it, the more I appreciate what it offers. Not just in performance, but in freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_04.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mounted on a compact body like the FUJIFILM X-T30 III, the setup is lightweight and discreet.

But it covers almost all the focal lengths I use daily, especially for street photography \u2014 roughly 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm equivalents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_main_01.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What I appreciate most is the 13mm wide end. It may not sound dramatically wider than a typical 16mm or 18mm standard zoom. Yet at wide angles, every millimeter changes how the world feels. 13mm is noticeably wider, and that difference matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My photography usually revolves around light and shadow, lines and patterns. At 13mm, I can capture a broader view in tight spaces, and the added perspective distortion helps create a stronger visual impact and a more immersive feeling that many standard lenses simply cannot achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_08.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=682&#038;height=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=682&amp;height=1024 682w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=200&amp;height=300 200w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=365&amp;height=548 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=600&amp;height=900 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=390&amp;height=585 390w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=563&amp;height=845 563w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=131&amp;height=197 131w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=400&amp;height=600 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_06.jpg?width=480&amp;height=720 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its compact size, Fujifilm has incorporated four-stop optical image stabilization into the XC13\u201333mm.

I enjoy working with slower shutter speeds to capture motion. To express the energy and rhythm of a place. Having that capability in a compact zoom lens is a significant advantage in a camera I can carry with me every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel has always been an important part of my life. I love discovering new places and revisiting familiar ones. Wherever I go, a camera is always with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most valuable lessons I\u2019ve learned in life is that more doesn\u2019t always mean better. Very often, less truly is more. In many ways, \u201cgood enough\u201d has become one of the most important words in my life and in my photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a time when I felt the need to bring everything whenever I travelled. I was afraid that if I left something behind, I might miss an opportunity or fail to capture the best possible image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then I realized that carrying more equipment didn\u2019t improve my images. Instead, I found myself constantly thinking about which lens to use, rather than paying attention to the world unfolding in front of me. A heavy bag also drained my energy and limited how far I was willing to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I choose simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=682\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=682 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=300&amp;height=200 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=768&amp;height=512 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=400&amp;height=267 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=365&amp;height=243 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=600&amp;height=400 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=717&amp;height=478 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=296&amp;height=197 296w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NZ_Richard-Wong_XC13-33mm_09.jpg?width=936&amp;height=624 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the XC13\u201333mm, I have a small, uncomplicated setup, and it\u2019s good enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has helped me grow as a photographer.
