Poise. Light. Presence.
This cinematic portrait short features the striking and effortless energy of Brooke Lily Brazelton, filmed on the Fujifilm X-T3 using the minimalist and expressive Fuji 35mm f/2 WR lens.
Shot entirely in F-Log and color graded to evoke a filmic tone inspired by classic Fuji stocks, this short is built on simplicity — one subject, one lens, one location — with an emphasis on natural emotion, soft light, and visual rhythm.
The Fujifilm X-T3’s Super 35mm sensor, paired with the 35mm f/2 lens (equivalent to ~50mm full-frame), creates a cinematic, intimate field of view perfect for editorial portraiture in motion. Each frame is meant to be felt as much as seen — subtlety and stillness replacing performance and spectacle.
