Last weekend at Photo London I had the chance to attend a lecture with Sebastião Salgado. Leo Johnson interviewed the 71-year old photographer about his life and work. In the Q&A that followed a young student, probably around 21 years old, asked what he would recommend a young photographer to start his career today.

If you look at the work of some of the master portrait photographers, you’ll notice that much of their work tries to keep the use of color very minimal. Why? Portraiture is a type of photography that involves putting an emphasis on a person or thing and when the colors in the scene are very complicated, the scene can be distracting to the viewer. In fact, specific films were developed to create better skin tones and colors for portraiture. Some of the best from Fujifilm were Astia and Fujifilm Pro400H.

But now, you can score the camera in pure white–a custom color available only from Urban Outfitters. It’s got the same 95mm f14 lens as the original and overall shoots incredibly flattering images of people due to the large exposure area.
No doubt, one thing that many photographers have likely asked themselves since the Fujifilm GFX system announcement just over a week ago is about what one could expect from that camera and the 6 announced GF lenses. The process of figuring it out is easy enough, but if you are lazy, someone else has done all the math for you.
Like anything else in life, this photograph is not free. If I chose to allow someone to use it without paying me, that’s one thing.
