This trip was a game-changer for my Street Photography, and here I'm sharing all I did to capture street portraits.

Read MoreWelcome to another lens review, this time for the Fujifilm XF 33mm F/1.4 R LM WR. And I'm going to tell you what I think straight away: this lens is marvellous! Probably one of the best lenses Fujifilm has ever released. The video I just published is mostly my professional opinion, more than a full review. But I know for sure you'll find good info there. As I said, the Fujifilm XF...

Read MoreWelcome back to another cinematic vlog in the streets, this time for a day to night walk in London. Aside of going out for photography, to me walking is kind of a therapeutical exercise: whenever I feel down or lacking inspiration I just hit the streets. It clears my mind. And if I'm looking for inspiration this clicks briefly after I start taking photos...
Read MoreThe time has come for some Street Photography workshops in Florence! When I went in the Summer, I was focused on creating content for Fujifilm and couldn't find the time to host them. But I'm back for Xmas now, and now I have a chance to host you at my workshops. There will be 2 workshops, one at night and one all day, and they will be lots of fun. If you...
Read MoreGoing out with the Samyang 8mm fisheye lens to do Street Photography must be up there with my silliest ideas! Yet I found the experience very creative and entertaining.It was obviously challenging, and I added some more restraints into the mix, as you will see… But I think I ended up with a few good photos that are somehow out of the ordinary. The good thing is that the sun came out...

Read MoreThis fourth episode of the YouTube mini-series in Florence is all about GFX 50S II Street Photography. As I mentioned before, this is not as fast and powerful as the GFX 100S. But the new iteration of this camera has a lot more processing power, so it is much easier to use outdoors and not miss a moment. I made a video about shooting Street Photography with the previous version of Fujifilm...
