Documenting the War in Ukraine with Fujifilm X and GFX Gear

Eric Bouvet

Fujifilm X Photographer Eric Bouvet is also a war photographer who has ben to Ukraine already a few times, for example to photograph the “Heroes from Maidan” and to other war zones such as in Iraq here.

Now he is back in Kyiv to document the war unfolding in Ukraine.

So, if you want to see what is happening in Ukraine also through the eyes of Eric Bouvet with his Fujifilm GFX, make sure to follow him on Instagram here.

Also on the field with his Fujifilm X-T4 is Ron Haviv.

Over at his instagram here he is sharing powerful, touching and dramatic images that show who really loses in wars: the civil and innocent people, who just want to live their lives in peace.

Be aware that these are strong images coming from a war zone.

I guess at this point I should say something about the fact that people use X and even GFX gear to photograph the war proving that you can well do documentary style photojournalism with Fujifilm gear (even though many on forums and youtube say that’s impossible), but I am not in the mood for any further comment on that.

All that matters is that there are some incredibly courageous photographers are out there, documenting what is happening, no matter which gear they use. Because what we need these days is more information, not less.

Some FR-readers appreciated that sort of little Fuji X history review. So I thought that, if a little Fuji history is appreciated now and then, then maybe you want to check out the history of Fujinon series that Fujifilm has published in the past.

The series consists in 7 episodes that cover the following topics:

Another great way to learn about the Fujifilm history, is to read Patrik’s guest post, where he looks at the entire Fujifilm history and identifies 10 cameras that put the base for features we find in today’s modern X and GFX series cameras.
