The FujiX100v for Portraits? From a Sony user's perspective.

- In this video I make a quick comment about why a camera like this can bring a lot of value to your portrait sessions. This is my first camera that I've ever used that can create such beautiful colors right out of camera. I wouldn't use it for the entirety of a session, but when I do add it to the recipe, I find something really special.

Thank you for the great tip about starting with a less intimidating camera for a shoot. I don’t have an x100v but I do have an x-e4. I also have a Sony a7c that I use a Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 on and that makes people’s eyes go 👀. They either get a little intimidated or they let their “fierce” side come out. 😂 Even though it is not as big as a pro camera.
I have really enjoyed my Fujifilm x-e4 and the sooc experience. I do love the fact that I can switch lenses unlike the x100v but that means that I need/want to buy more lenses.
such lovely images! totally agree about having beautiful colors sooc being super helpful
I fully agree. I gave a Sony a7iv for photos and my Fuji x100F gives me more of an organic feel than the sterile true life look of the Sony. The Fuji let’s me not be a slave to a computer or phone to edit to get the look. The look is always there. Also it’s smaller lol
So you’re a slave of ‘the look’ then. Many folks prefer true to life photos. Not everyone likes a filter on their photos.
@@heyramineni no one cares what you like or don't like bro. I said what I like. That's it.
@@one901 right back at you bro.
Been using fuji for almost a year now and I've been in love ever since. I still primarily shoot film, but damn do I love Fuji. There's just a beautiful character to it. Don't get me wrong I have a love and understanding for each camera company, and camera. But Fuji, is just FUN! 😄
I totally agree!
@@Chollette can't wait to see more videos!
This is literally the video I've been looking for!!! As a Sony shooter of portraits, looking to buy an X100 series.... I'm going to wait for the next one I reckon. 🤷🏻♂
I don’t think it’s overrated at all, I started off with the original x100 which started off my photography career and I still use the system till this day on set along side my Leica cameras. It’s all about the color science for me and small form factor. Everything goes on the net these days so my clients don’t really care. It’s paying my bills so I think it’s a wonderful camera 😊 (professional here )
I swear to God this channel is sooooo underrated!!
Love your photography! Really beautiful images. Especially 4:12😍✨
Thanks, for the lesson professor Chollette! Nice video 👌🏾
Thank you!
I agree! It really helps set the vibe and is more economical than a hybrid film/main camera session honestly. I just wish I could speed up the processes time when using film simulations
turn off clarity .. its the only part of using a simulation that takes processing time
First time coming across your videos, as a Fuji shooter myself you just put a battery in my back lol. Dope images!
Loved your video , thank you ❤
Great video !!
I’ve started to do this at weddings and engagements shoots. The film trend has started, and a lot of clients want the “film vibe” but they don’t like the wait for the photos to be developed.
With the x100f I can capture film like photos even with with point and shoot flash. I still use my Sony’s as my main camera and this hangs on my neck as a third camera that looks like a point and shoot film camera. After shoots I literally tether it to my phone and send them sneaks and post it on Instagram and they are blown away.
Clients really don’t care if a photo is digital or film, they care about the result. This camera really helps me achieve that.
This is awesome. Glad I got the xpro 3. Which flash did you use at 4:13?
Just stumbled across this vid haha, small world. Keep going bro
Love it haha. Thank you sir 🫡
Hey, love your work and I love more your style it is very inspiring.
Can you do a:
-process of how I edit photos/videos?
-what gear I currently use and what it will be your next purchase?
Thanks man keep it up
Yes sir 🫡 Be on the lookout!
is there a film simulation settings video in the works anytime soon?!@@Chollette
❤❤❤
good vid!, I had the fujifilm x100f and the x100v and I've also tried the Leica Q2, all felt too clunky and too digital tbh, I enjoyed the x100f and 100v more than the Leica Q2. But still been craving the medium format rounded off look. because with the x100v and Leica Q2 I found myself putting stuff in front of the lens to soften the image and it just wasn't working really, even with black pro mist it was too digital looking.
Next buy is GFX 100s and Mitakon 65mm f/1.4 :) filmic look with medium format sensor and that's before you do anything in post, so I would rather do that personally.
amazing video!
only thing now is finding simulations for my liking lol thats the hardest part now for me
You Sir, have gained a new subscriber
Thank you and welcome :)
love your work, what strength bloom filter were you using on the fuji for these photos?
1/8th Pro Mist by tiffen! Thank you!
These photos are great - what recipe are you using?
Thank you🙏🏽 I’m using Bright Kodak
Beautiful shots! Are you using a diffusion filter?
Yes! I’m using a tiffen black pro mist 1/8th
So dope dude. What recipe are you using?
Bright Kodak! Just made a video about that exact recipe actually.
Wich film simulations did you use? Or did you shoot raw and then presets? Nice vid!
Thank you! I use Bright Kodak
I read that the Fuji X100V successor (possibly called the X100R) will come packed with a 35mm equivalent f1.7 lens!! Been holding off on the 100v for a min, now I will hold off even longer
Smart move! Very excited to see what a new one would have.
Coming back to this in disappointment haha... it's the same lens. Sooooooo I guess I will pre-order.@@Chollette
Nice! What kind of filter do you have on that V all the time?
A tiffen BPM 1/8th!
It's funny how youve got such a true filmic 35mm look with the fuji, normally I can tell straight away when something is digitally shot to look like film but you've really done a super tight grade. Did you stick a 1/2 diffusion on the fuji? Notice your Sony images you provided don't have any diffusion which I guess makes it look all that more digital and sharp.
I really appreciate that! Yeah I pretty much always keep it on when I shoot with the Fuji. Even if I add diffusion to the song it’ll still come off pretty strong. I’m only using a 1/8th black pro mist.
Thankfully the successor to the 100v should be launching early next year. I'm not paying $2,000+ for a scalped 100v, for that I might as well buy a X-T5. Hopefully when the newer and better "100z" is launched it will be easier to get.
Nice. I didn’t know an upgrade was on the way. Very interested in that!
Hey @Chollette , what camera and lens did you shoot the part at around 2:11 with? cheers
That was shot with the fx3 and the 16-35mm PZ lens!
Hey Man love this video and just sub to you! I am a sony dp a d just got my a7r4 stolen here in Mexico while shooting. I have my x100v with me and it's my main cam this week ... Lol
This breaks my heart ☹️ Even though it’s not your top choice, I know you’ll be able to take great images with it! Hope you can recover or replace your camera soon🙏🏽
@@Chollette well I may be looking into something with Fuji here now so standby. . lol
What are your recipes for the photos you used on this video?
Bright Kodak every time!
what are some go to film simulations or recipes that you use?
To be honest, the only recipe I've been using is called "Bright Kodak". It givings me the feeling I look for when getting a film style look. I haven't even tried others because I love it so much. I know I need to try others soon!
I see Sandra👀 but also now you are gonna make me buy an x100v😂
Do it 🤣
3:25 film sim. is Bright Kodak ?
It was shot with Bright Kodak but sometimes I will edited the photos further and I definitely did for that specific shot
You can get this same feel and vibe with most Fuji cameras, film sims aren’t exclusive to the x100v.
I said exactly that at 4:00
Best recipes for portraits?
The best recipe is the one that feels best for you. I’d download the Fuji weekly app for different ones to try out!
My favorite one is called Bright Kodak which is used in this video.
3:23 "you're editing first, and then you're shooting" that's it! the workflow is reversed.
Cool video but I personally find 28mm to be too wide for a portrait, which makes this camera a no go for me. Many other portrait photographers I know feel the same. Wish I would have kept it though, could have sold it for a big profit ha. On a side note, your clients should feel relaxed no matter which camera you are using, thats a big part of your job. The camera you are using shouldn't matter. If it did, I would just use my iPhone for all my portraits 😃 I have for some product shots with models though, client loved them. But I digress.
Agreed! It is our job as photographers to create a safe environment. This camera to me, is just another fun way of many to get clients more engaged in a shoot.
The X100V is 35mm full frame equivalent, not 28mm.
The x100v is overrated. Its limitations include the viewfinder and the fixed lense, which takes away the versatility of creating. why is it so highly in demand?
I can see beginners really loving this camera because they can get a creative look immediately. Editing can be intimidating when you first start off and that can make photography more difficult at first.
It’s basically for people who want a camera slightly better than their smartphone with built in instagram filters. Highly overrated camera on the internet. It’s a good secondary camera for travel and nothing more.
“Professional sony camera”… LOL! Oxymoron example number one! Get a GFX or a Nikon DSLR (not a fan of Nikons mirrorless, as their autofocus modes are too restrictive, being inherited from DSLR and not properly reworked for mirrorless)
I’ve had a great experience shooting with Sony for years now. However I am very interested in trying different Fuji models! I’ll check out the GFX!
old guy above. Sony is way more advanced cameras now )
@@mex5341 replying to average camera owner ignorant comment… try a GFX!!! They are supreme!
@@mortenthorpe lol, noob
@@mortenthorpe GFX? why not a Phase One XF IQ4 150MP? "Extra professional"
