Last time in Paris I fully concentrated on my client’s needs, which is exactly what a professional photographer must do during a photoshoot. Every minute of the photoshoot is assigned to accomplish a specific task.
This time around, I took my Fudji Camera with me on a short vacation to Paris just to get inspired and see where my inspiration would take me.
For my last birthday, I purchased myself a birthday present — a Fuji XS-20 camera. I was so excited to have a compact camera that I could take with me anywhere I wanted, without worrying about its weight and size. The main reason I selected a Fuji camera is the built-in film simulation modes, which I could personalize.
In my other post, I will walk you through and tell you in detail how to go about it. For now, enjoy unique film-like colours that Fuji can produce.
One of the biggest advantages of the Fuji camera is that the colours look great independent of the colour temperature. The pictures look great no matter if you took them on a grey rainy day or on a bright sunny day. The retro look you can accomplish with the Fuji camera is terrific, provided you know how to adjust your camera settings correctly.
As I was enjoying my walk in Paris Passages, I got interested in their history and decided to see for myself how it what it would look like through Fuji lenses. The Passage history is fascinating.
In 1798, the first covered shopping passage was built, the Passage du Caire, to serve as shopping arcades filled with bookstores, independent boutiques, and eateries.
At that time, the Galeries de Bois were one of the most illustrious Parisien curiosities.
The galleries, bookshops, cafés, and restaurants were a meeting place for the aristocracy, intellectuals and other members of the Parisien beau monde.
The passages were the first places that allowed shoppers the ability to stroll from store to store, far away from the noise of the street.
They soon became a top attraction in the city and were THE destination for those visiting from the provinces. At the peak of their popularity, there were more than two hundred of these covered shopping and entertainment.
I met for lunch with my old friend and colleague Valeria in one of those beautiful passages. She works as a make up artist in Israel and also came to spend several days in Paris. We started talking about the good old days us working together and then I could not help myself but to take several pictures of Valeria in a Paris Passage background.
The experience was above my expectations. It was such a great combination of Paris atmosphere and what I could accomplish with my new Fuji XS-20 camera.
I can not wait to visit the city again and I decided that I would be planning to dedicate more time for private photoshoots.
