How my photography with the Fujifilm X100V becomes a way of life

My name is Cindy Kleinecke, and I live with my family in north-east Germany. I was born there, grew up there and have stayed there ever since. I’ve always loved being out and about in nature and that’s where my passion for photography began to grow. At the age of 14, I held my father’s camera in my hand for the first time. It was a real analogue camera with film that you had to take to the photo shop later to develop. Even back then, I was fascinated by natural light, so I took my first pictures on the beach on the island of Rügen at sunrise, and I loved it when the sunlight fell through the leaves of the trees.
