The X-T1, fast Fuji lenses, and a square format for lifestyle photography

For most of my lifestyle photography I rely on a Nikon D4 coupled with some fast prime lenses. More and more I have been adding the Fuji X-T1 into the mix. On this occasion I decided to keep the Fuji in its 1:1 crop mode, which is one of my preferred ways of shooting the Fuji X cameras. My love affair with the square format goes back to my film days of shooting a Hasselblad 500CM and a Rolleiflex.

We photographed this model last winter when she was pregnant, and had her come back with her three month old so we would have a set of before-and-after photographs. Everything was photographed available light in our studios.
