That applies to the cameras, as well as the photographers. They need strength and persistence when following stories, often in the face of physical or cultural headwinds; cameras need to be reliable and adaptable, tackling a range of subjects and situations, while catching unrepeatable moments with unyielding clarity. Both certainly need to swim when thrown in at the deep end.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_01.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_01.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/2000 sec at F4, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>That\u2019s definitely true of photographer Lanna Apisukh. Graduating in the late nineties \u2013 and now an experienced specialist in documentary, portrait, and photojournalism \u2013 she works across a range of news assignments, editorials, food profiles, restaurant reviews, and for publications as illustrious as The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Joining this adaptable photographer with the new FUJIFILM X-H2S seemed like the perfect fit.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s rewind a moment, taking ourselves back to the deep end. At an early age, Lanna made a brave leap into skate culture. Definitely swimming rather than sinking, she was gripped by the fun of it, buoyed by its outsider attitude \u2013 almost always being the only girl at the skatepark didn\u2019t put her off, either. But she often wondered why there weren\u2019t more people like her around. At college, she skated on, noticing even fewer females on the bowls and halfpipes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col3\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_02-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204356\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/2000 sec at F4.5, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_03-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204357\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">hoto 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/5000 sec at F2.8, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_04-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204358\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/8000 sec at F2.5, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moving to New York, to pursue photography, she naturally connected with the skating community, noticing something new. \u201cIn the last five years, I\u2019ve been seeing women-led groups organizing safer, more welcoming spaces at public skateparks. Female, non-binary, gender non-conforming and trans people can all get involved more easily. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve been documenting as a project called Everybody Skates. The purpose is to show the growth within that community, highlighting individuals, while inspiring others to keep pushing things forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest chapter of that project brought her to several skateparks in California, uniting Lanna with the FUJIFILM X-H2S. \u201cIt\u2019s a camera I loved using, and will continue to do so for my work,\u201d she enthuses. \u201cThis is an X Series body that\u2019s so adaptable, it can excel right across the spectrum of documentary, reportage, or events.\u201d So, while Everybody Skates is about championing diversity, X-H2S\u2019s mixed and varied features might just be the perfect complement.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_05-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204359\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF56mmF1.2 R, 1\/8000 sec at F1.8, ISO 160<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_06-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204360\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/3200 sec at F3.6, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taking a look through the images that comprise Everybody Skates, it\u2019s a great example of why documentary projects require a truly versatile and dependable camera. Highly textured, mixing traditional portraits with candid and action images, made in unpredictable light, and often via fleeting, chance encounters, there\u2019s a lot to handle. \u201cWith so much of my work in that reportage style, X-H2S is a great fit,\u201d Lanna says. \u201cWhether I\u2019m documenting staff rushing around in restaurants with big plates of food, or taking time for a character portrait in the same location. The sheer diversity of weddings would also be ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_07.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_07.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF56mmF1.2 R, 1\/6400 sec at F2, ISO 160<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>So, how does a typical session work? \u201cI\u2019ll often just skate around when I arrive at the park, for two reasons,\u201d Lanna explains. \u201cFirstly, these are the sorts of environments which can be more accepting if you\u2019re obviously on the \u2018inside\u2019. Secondly, it\u2019s too much fun not too! On my board, I can get to know new faces, maybe make some candid images, and have conversations to see if people are interested in being photographed, or if they\u2019re working on a trick.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_08.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_08.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/3200 sec at F2.8, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>For those action situations, where a skater might be catching air at the top of the ramp or grinding down a railing, two main aspects of X-H2S come into play\u00a0\u2013 autofocus and continuous drive speed. For the former, this camera is a quantum leap, accelerating focus speed and tenacity in tracking through its Deep Learning AI Adaptive Autofocus algorithms. Even fast and erratic subjects are locked onto in perfect sharpness. In this way, it\u2019s three times faster than X-T4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not an action photographer,\u201d Lanna admits. \u201cWhen I\u2019m capturing moving subjects in documentary mode, I don\u2019t want to do a whole lot of setting up and tweaking different modes. It just needs to work. While there are settings for specific subjects like cars, trains, or motorcyclists, for the skaters at Venice Beach and Stoner skateparks, I got great results using Face Detection AF. It\u2019s been improved and expanded to work with diverse looks, hairlines, and face coverings, which you get a lot of in skating, so it was faultless.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_09.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_09.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/4000 sec at F3.2, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>As for the X-H2S drive speed, continuous capture is possible at 15fps in mechanical shutter mode, and up to an amazing 40fps when the electronic shutter is used. The former is backed up by unlimited continuous recording of JPEG or RAW files. \u201cWhen there&#8217;s a skateboarder doing a trick, and you want to get them at the climax, you have this wealth of images to pick the perfect pose from,\u201d enthuses Lanna. \u201cIt&#8217;s insanely fast, very powerful, and so important in any action situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_10.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_10.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/5000 sec at F3.6, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>With skaters in motion nailed, to add the required texture for the project, Lanna turns to environmental portraits. \u201cFor those, I\u2019m really driven by the light and location on the day. I can use the park as a background, and concrete ramps certainly cut out the distraction, or I might want more depth, while blurring out the backdrop.\u201d Here, the X-H2S advanced Eye Detection AF is paramount, letting her use lenses like XF56mm F1.2 R at their widest, making classic character studies that mix context with subject separation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_11.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_11.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF56mmF1.2 R, 1\/6400 sec at F1.6, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>\u201cAccuracy in AF is just as important when I\u2019m working with my wider prime lenses,\u201d she continues, \u201cbecause I like to open them up, too. XF35mmF1.4 R is really my go-to, a classic storytelling lens \u2013 and I use the XF23mmF1.4 R when I need something a little wider. All three have been instrumental to this project, because they\u2019re light and balance beautifully with my X-T4, X-Pro3 and now X-H2S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cErgonomically, X-H2S didn\u2019t disappoint either,\u201d Lanna says. \u201cBeing an X Series user, I found it very easy to operate. Even though the button layout is a little different, it has the same philosophy of design; lightweight, compact, and more discreet than a DSLR, which is what you want in reportage. As with X-H1, the readout on the top-plate is great, too. It lets me see info like ISO, shutter speed, and aperture at a glance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_12.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_12.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF23mmF1.4 R, 1\/1000 sec at F5.6, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>One of X-H2S\u2019s defining features is its large, sculpted handgrip. \u201cIt\u2019s really meaty,\u201d she laughs, \u201cwhich makes it easy to hold the camera with one hand. I like that because I often use flash in my photography. For example, holding the camera in my right, with a trigger mounted, and the flash in my left, letting me bring the light off the axis of the camera, swivel, or bounce it. I use this when framing a skater pulling a trick against the light, or when making a portrait with the sun behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col3\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_13-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204367\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF56mmF1.2 R, 1\/2000 sec at F3.6, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_14-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204368\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF35mmF1.4 R, 1\/4000 sec at F3.2, ISO 200<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/x-h2s_lanna-apisukh_15-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4204369\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo 2022 \u00a9 Lanna Apisukh | FUJIFILM X-H2S camera and XF56mmF1.2 R, 1\/64000 sec at F1.6, ISO 400<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completing the picture is X-H2S\u2019s next-generation, 26.1-megapixel X-Trans 5 sensor, which delivers unprecedented color and dynamic range, building on the unique X-Trans array and using a new stacked design to expand low-light capabilities and processing speed. \u201cFor my time in LA, I was able to get brilliant results, just using JPEGs, because Fujifilm colors are beautiful right out of the camera.
