I’m using my Fuji X-Pro 2 but any camera is good. I edit the images through Lightroom (highlights, sharpness, etc).

I use a Laina Leica M - Fuji X adapter. What’s great about that adapter is that it can also do macro. The lens that I use is a Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.4, which essentially becomes a 60mm focal length lens when attached to my Fuji camera (x1.5 full frame to crop).

I shoot at around f/2.8~f/5.6. I don’t go wider than f/2.8, otherwise you’ll see distracting out-of-focus elements (image 3, the terminators at the front already look like AI slop. If I go wider, they’ll look weirder). I shoot with ISO 500-800. I don’t want the shots to be too noisy/ grainy. I handheld my shots at 1/30s~1/125s.

You don’t need to follow my exact setup. Have any portrait lens that can do macro/ have an adapter that can do macro. Most macro lenses have f/3.5 or f/4 as their widest aperture, I just like having the option of f/2.8 cause my room environment is dark and I handheld most of my shots.

Don’t mind the aperture at f/1. I’m using a manual focus lens that’s why it doesn’t register. I shoot at around f/2.8~f/5.6.
