Busy busy busy

Oct 21, 2024

Lately, I've been shooting a lot with the Fuji GFX, mainly using the 110mm lens for portrait and glamour photography. It's an incredible lens, and even more, the camera is super versatile. Sure, it’s a bit on the heavy side, but the image quality is outstanding. The film simulations really steal the show—it’s hard to beat.

I'm leaving

Jul 30, 2024

Hello everyone. After 25 years, 11 of which were spent working with Nintendo and an amazing community of players on Mario+Rabbids, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure.

Why are we enjoying taking street photos?

Jun 21, 2024

We enjoy taking street photos because it’s a way to capture the heartbeat of a city in its most authentic and spontaneous moments. There’s a thrill in wandering through urban landscapes, where every street corner and passerby holds a potential story.

My name is Ferrania

May 27, 2024

My name is Ferrania, and my story begins in the distant year of 1923, when I was founded as Società Anonima Film in Ferrania, a small town in Liguria. My primary goal was to produce photographic and cinematic films, a rapidly growing sector at the time. Soon, my name became synonymous with quality and innovation in the field of film production…

It was a fantastic day. That's what we should do together. Social interactions. Not bombing each other.

As the morning sun began to bathe Milan's modern skyline in warm, golden light, I set out with my Fujifilm X100VI to capture the city's contemporary charm…

Fujifilm X100VI - A portable beauty

Apr 8, 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of photography, where bulky equipment once reigned supreme, the Fuji X100VI emerges as a beacon of innovation and practicality. As an avid photographer, I've often found myself drawn to the beauty of capturing moments spontaneously, without the encumbrance of lugging around hefty gear, even if, n the last years, both with the X2D and the GFX 100ii, I was doing the exact opposite.

Fuji GFX Stress Test in Venice

Feb 18, 2024

Hasselblad Face Detection? Absolutely not. Fujifilm Eye Detection? Absolutely yes, thank you. But before discussing the topic in detail, let me take a few seconds to talk about the context in which I put the Fujifilm GFX 1002 to the test.

Out of my comfort zone

Jan 21, 2024

Lately, I was determined to do something crazy, and so I ended up doing it. I had been eyeing the 250mm lens for GFX for a while, and finally, I decided to buy it. It's a lens from five years ago, not the latest, but it's still an ultra-performing lens, a true pleasure to use. The advantage of buying a lens from a few years back is that it's likely available used, and that was the case for me, turning out to be a great deal…
