As the affair continues with my fuji X-Pro 1 I’ve been itching to do some beauty shots. But as I was unable to hire the Fujifilm Fujinon XF-60mm F2.4 R lens I had to make do with my 35mm (obviously this is not standard in beauty photography but my curiosity got the better of me and this is what me and fab model Natalie Kusdemir came up with:

All images shot in jpeg with the Fiji X-pro 1, using the FUJINON XF35mmF1.4 R LENS

Exposure: ISO 100 f/5.6  1/125 sec

Overall I feel I could have done much better with the 60mm, but considering these were all shot with the 35mm they are not bad at all; skin texture has still been retained and there is still some sharp focus on the make up.

I aim to update once I get hold of the 60mm lens, so watch this space…;)
