Continuing my posts on photographers the use of the Fujifilm X-Pro1, I also spoke with award-winning photojournalist and social documentary photographer Jack Picone on his perspectives approximately this tremendous new digital camera...
?My mantra is? Slow is rapid? ? You look, you observed, you wait and then you definately make the photograph. I just like the psychology of the X-Pro1?It lets in me to hook up with the human beings I am photographing? - Jack Picone, Melbourne May 2012
Jack Picone spent a decade overlaying the world's battle zones such as Iraq, Sudan, Rwanda and Palestine, but this work is simplest in part consultant of his oeuvre, which also involves social documentary projects and workshops.
He says the X-Pro1 is a ?Quiet digicam, very diffused. I can apply it to the streets or with humans in touchy situations and it's far such an understated retro layout that humans don?T react to it. It isn?T like a DSLR, which is sort of a house brick this is in front of your face. With this camera humans either forget about you or in the event that they do take notice of you they don?T see you as a professional photographer, they see you as a person. Being capable of strike a rapport with humans in a extra seamless manner is, for me, poetry?.
?It is a more shrewd way to work. I assume DSLRs are very clever, however I don?T like them physically. I am honestly glad with this camera and I turned into doing returned flips whilst it got here on the market.?
Jack is a one body, one lens photographer and uses the 18mm. He says, ?For documentary images or photojournalism you need to be close. Use your legs and stroll into the picture. Talk to human beings, build a rapport and create a visible verbal exchange?.
Below is a choice of pics Jack shot currently on the X-Pro1 at the streets of Hong Kong.
