I believe it is about time we talk about Artificial Intelligence in Photography because the rise of AI technology is rapidly changing the way we think about Photography. No longer just a tool for capturing and storing images, AI can now be used to automatically edit and enhance photos, provide unique perspectives, and even create entirely new images. One of the most exciting developments of AI in Photography is the ability to...

And so, I caught Covid. I had managed to avoid it for 3 years, even when it was spreading in full swing. And in my house, we have always been careful and responsible. But it's happened. I'm sure the Covid variant is far less severe than the one that killed millions worldwide. We're supposed to be at a stage where this should be comparable to influenza, with mild flu symptoms. But I've...

World Travel Market London just closed the door on its 43rd edition. It is one of the most significant events in the Travel industry, and it is always stimulating to wander around and talk with travel professionals. There are tour operators, national and local tourism boards, tech companies, etc., all under one roof for 3 days of talks, networking and fun. The last time I visited the World Travel Market was pre-pandemic....

I have always been a massive fan of the Samyang 12mm F2 lens for the Fujifilm X Series. In fact, it was actually the very first lens I purchased for my old X-T1, aside from the kit lens!It is my primary go-to lens for Astrophotography, and I use it a lot for Architecture and Landscape. It was also the main lens I used in my Fog cinematic vlog. This lens was always...

TopazLabs just released Photo AI, which promises to enhance and restore your images with the click of a button. Or even before you click anything! Like Magic. I tested the software for a few weeks while in beta, and now it is finally available to everyone.And I must say I am impressed with the results! Yeah, you don't have to watch the video to know what I think about this: it works,...

The new “Photographing The World” Series starts here, and we kick off with Street Photography in Istanbul! This video was long due, but I came back from Istanbul with 6+ hours of footage and almost 1Tb of photos… All over the place. I was to give you a full-length docu-vlog of about 20-25 minutes. But then I thought a small pill format would have been much more palatable (pun intended). So here...

The brand new Fujifilm 56mm R WR F1.2 Mark II is finally here! It was just announced in the last Fujifilm X-Summit (and Fujikina ) in New York City together with the 40MP X-H2 camera. And I can now present the lens to you in my latest video… I had the chance to play with the new Fujifilm 56mm for a few days, before launch. So, I took it to the streets...

I found myself deep into the Midjourney rabbit hole. And my goodness, how much I enjoy it :)There's been a proliferation of creative AI lately. Dall-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Craiyon are maybe the first iterations of an entirely new creative ecosystem. And one that is already producing mindblowing results (and sparkling controversies). For my latest video, I picked Midjourney because it seemed a perfect match to my style at first glance,...

I've been waiting for this new Fujifilm XF 150-600 R LM OIS WR F5.6-8 since the first rumours appeared on the web many years ago… And it's finally here! Fujifilm has been kind enough to let me test this lens for a week so that I could take one of my famous moon shots. This content is not sponsored; it just so happens that Fujifilm and I have a great relationship… I...

Remember my Starry Nights short film? No? Well, it's here to watch if you missed it: https://youtu.be/-1xWKCKgwG4 I mention it because I made that short film using the Hoya Sparkle filters, both 4x and 6x variants. These creative filters from Hoya make for very interesting results. But more importantly, they provide consistency and reliability to every image where you want to add a starburst effect (and maybe some soft diffusion). Something that...

We have been waiting a long time for this: Capture One for iPad is finally a reality! It has been made available for public testing to a limited amount of registered Capture One users, including myself. And, of course, I put this to the test straight away and recorded my experience in a YouTube video… The Video So here is my hands-on first impression of the new Capture One for iPad! I...

You read it right—gear matters. I'm no stranger to controversial topics here, and I felt this video needed to be made. But the more you watch it, the less controversial it will appear. In the end, I hope that you will see how this is my way of empowering you so that you can take your best photos ever. Almost on a daily basis, I get asked which settings I use to...
