A comfortable rhythm

Though I still love to experiment with different lenses and cameras, I’ve also arrived at the point in my photographic journey where I know the sorts of things I really enjoy shooting because the results are predictable. Some of it is cliché, like old cars. Some is odd, like dumpsters. And some is just random items I see that make me wonder about how they got there.

These are always shot with my GFX 50s ii and Mitakon 65mm f1.4. The lens is always wide open. The photo is usually a little under exposed, and the RAW processed with Fujifilm’s Classic Negative color profile. The crop is always 4:5, usually portrait orientation. The subject is usually centered, and usually clearly separated from the background.

This is the formula that I love coming back to. Here are a few examples that fit into that bucket.
