Cinematic Portraits with the LensGo Smoke B portable fog machine

Creating atmosphere in a portrait shoot with just a handheld smoke machine and an LED light.
Smoke, fog and haze can be a great way to enhance the mood in a portrait shoot. I've been using big smoke machines and hazers for many years but more often than not they are too big and bulky to work on location (and they require plug-in power). So I'm really happy to see a lot of manufacturers come up with a small portable smoke machine. Pergear asked me to test out their Smoke B Portable Fog machine, so I tried it on an intimate portrait shoot with a good friend.
For this shoot, I shot mainly with the Fujifilm GFX50R and the Mitakon 65mm F1.4. I also shot some pictures with my Vintage Minolta 58...

I have been looking at battery powered continuous lights for a while to employ in location portraits. So when Zhiyun asked if I wanted to test drive their new Cinepeer CX100 light, I said yes and (so far) used it on two portrait shoots: an outdoor shoot with an artist and an intimate portrait shoot with my friend Chana. For the shoot with Zoteye, I shot with my Fujifilm X-T5 and the XF33mm F1.4...

I love my Fujinon fast prime lenses but what if you are on a budget? Sirui asked me if I wanted to test out there new Sniper series of affordable fast lenses. They are releasing a 23, a 33 and a 56mm, all with a maximum aperture of F1.2 I can clearly remember how I started my career on affordable third party lenses so I wanted to test these for those who are in the same shoes that I was in 20 y...

A while ago I backed this kickstarter of the PMI Smoke Ninja portable smoke machine. The unit finally arrived and I did a little test portrait shoot with my girlfriend. I was hoping to create a cinematic haze without lugging around a big haze machine, see for yourself if it's possible with this tiny device. Equipment used in this video: - Fujifilm X-T5 - Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR - Fujinon XF3...

If the 23mm (35mm full frame equivalent) lens of the fixed lens Fujifilm x100-series doesn't suit you, there are two options in the form of converter lenses. The WCL-X100V turns your X100-series camera into a 28mm equivalent camera, like the Leica Q3 and the TCL-X100 gives you a standard 50mm lens. Sample pictures of both converter lenses are at the end of the video. You can also find these pic...

Fujifilm Belgium commissioned me to test out the new X-S20 and share my thoughts on their RUclips channel. I figured some of you might also be interested in the X-S20 so I wanted to share the video here on my own channel as well. I’m also giving some brief thoughts about the XF8mm F3.5. The X-S20 is very compact and light, yet extremely powerful and versatile. Visit my website for much more: ww...

Sometimes it's better to slow down instead of relying on the newest and best technology. It makes you focused, creative and allows to build a strong connection to your subject. In this video I take you behind-the-scenes of a slow portrait shoot. i will tell you why it's so beneficial to slow down and I'll talk about the (slow) gear that I used on this shoot: - Fujifilm GFX50R - Mitakon 65mm F1....

After my X-T5 review and the launch of the project for Fujifilm Global, I received a lot of questions about the portraits I shot. So I went through the behind-the-scenes footage and compiled a list of portrait tips. The first section is about what I call "Freeflow Portraits", choosing to work with only basic equipment to be in the moment, connect with the subject and be creative. In the second ...

Hi, I’m Bert Stephani and I’m in the middle of moving to a new house but I wanted to make this quick video about a new camera. A little over a week ago, I returned from a short trip to the land of the rising sun. And if you are a Fujifilm fan, you probably know by now that I wasn’t in Tokyo with the purpose of just drinking saké and eating sushi … although I did that too. I was invited to be pa...

Is that a superzoom or are you just happy to see me? I've always been told that a superzoom is too much of a compromise to use for any serious photography. But when I had the chance to test the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD for Fujifilm X-mount, I took it on a short family camping trip to see for myself how it performs.
