TAKE TEN: Fanus Beetge

We’re celebrating ten years of the Fujifilm X Mount system by featuring the ten best images from Fujifilm photographers across the country. Fanus Beetge’s photography pushes the boundary, taking us into a few more unusual places.

Why do you love photography?

There is just something in photography that changes what everyone can see into a different image.

Tell us a bit more about your photography and what you would like to achieve through this.

My photography is a bit more edgy and I try to push the boundaries a bit. I feel like I’m drawn to the unusual and try to capture that.

What made you switch to Fujifilm and when did this happen?

In 2020. The video quality was the first reason why I made the switch – there were no other competitors when it came to the price for that quality. I also love shooting film, so the camera body just feels lekker and the grain in the images is what I try to bring out. I’ll shoot it on max ISO and still be happy.

Which Fujifilm camera do you use?

I shoot on the X-T4.

What do you love most about the camera?

I love that I can push the ISO high and still be happy about it.

Where can people find your work online?

They can find my work on Instagram at fanusbeetge.
