Instant exercise with Giulia
Ciao and welcome to the third and final part of my model shoot with Giulia Lunghini, held at Kioki Studio in Cologno Monzese (MI)—the town where I live.

In this post, I’m sharing a series of Fujifilm Instax photos, all shot with my Lomo’Instant Square Glass camera.

Each image was scanned digitally using my trusty Pentax K1 paired with the FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens and the combo was on my Manfrotto 290 tripod.

This is actually the first time I’m showcasing my Lomo Instax work. Although I’ve used the Lomo’Instant Square a few times before, this is the very first shoot where I finally managed to get satisfying results in terms of framing, exposure, and focus.

In post-processing, I kept edits to a minimum. I only removed dust spots and, occasionally, faint lines—likely caused by less-than-ideal storage of the Instax prints.

To achieve the most faithful color reproduction, I used the Pixel Shift Resolution mode on my Pentax K1. This helped preserve the original tones of the Instax prints as closely as possible.

The images you see here are presented at 800x600 resolution and have been censored. When I post them to my Meta social accounts, most will be heavily cropped due to platform silly guidelines.

If you want to see the full uncropped and uncensored versions, there will be several options:
Wait for possible publication in a magazine or acceptance into an exhibition.
Follow my fcatelier page, where I’ll eventually make them available for sale.
Support me on Patreon—coming soon—where I’ll upload the, uncensored versions in a 1200x800 size.

I hope you enjoyed this little preview of my Instax work. It’s only the beginning—more instant shots are on the way!

I’ll announce the opening of my Patreon account later this week.
Thus Stay tuned!
Stay creative!
