I created a Fujifilm LUT presets pack for OBS (or StreamLabs). You don’t know OBS? OK, Let me explain… As you know, I recently started live streaming on YouTube. And I have been testing a few apps to help me with that. Once I settle for one solution, I may enthusiastically write (or stream) about that particular one. But for now, I’m only going to briefly mention all I know. OBS (Open...

Sharpening Fujifilm Raw files in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. It's a topic that has filled articles for a very long time... Here's my optimal solution.

I created my YouTube account in 2006 and managed to wait 14 years to open my Photography YouTube channel. Now it's time. Too late?

I'm often asked why I shoot Fujifilm, rather than maybe follow the latest trends on YouTube and go with Sony or any big DSLR... Trust is, it happened by chance. Here's how.

Today’s Story Behind The Shot at Haleakalā is about one of my absolute favourite photos.. After quitting my Creative Director job, I travelled around the world. In one instance, I literally travelled full circle moving East (and that’s when I started this blog). It was a trip that gifted me with many experiences, memories and friendships. To start, it was my first time visiting East Asia, and getting in touch with a...

Right, the pink supermoon… Or, how things don’t always go to plan.

I missed last week’s appointment. With all that is happening in the world right now, I thought you all had better to do than read my stories. But some of you reached out asking about the newsletter, and it seems that light content like this can provide some relief. I’m glad. So here it is. Peer support group on Slack First of all, one important update. I started a peer support group...

Today, the London lockdown is still not as strict as in other cities around the world, but it is a lockdown nonetheless. The measures to fight coronavirus have imposed restrictions on travel, both internally and between countries. And therefore, many places now look like scenes from an apocalyptic Hollywood film. Particularly in those areas where flocks of tourists usually cram every empty corner, the view is very much on the eerie side....

Some of my friends joke that I never sleep. That’s because they see me publishing photos taken any time of the day. As a landscape photographer, I often shoot during the Blue Hour or the Golden Hour, when the light is absolutely amazing. With my recent interest in street photography, I now shoot a lot during the harsh light of the day as well. Or at night, playing with artificial light. And...

I talked about the recent photowalk in Oxford with other fellow photographers in this post. It was a fun day. And I managed to try a few new things with my photography, including setting my camera display in black and white to focus more on shape and contrast. During the photowalk, I took a few shots I was pleased with. Many of them not too dissimilar from my usual street style, with...

The Fujifilm X-T4 is here! It’s official. In an event held in San Francisco last Wednesday, Fujifilm publicly introduced the new iteration of the X-T series.I currently own the X-T2 (2 of them), and I was in Tokyo on the day of the X-T3 launch. But I skipped that upgrade. I wasn’t shooting much video back then; therefore I didn’t need most updates of that version. I do video now and intend...

Writing Oxford street might be a bit of a clickbait if you were looking for photos in London. But this is about street photography in Oxford, so… Anyway, here I am talking about another photowalk I attended.It’s always great to go out, meet and shoot with like-minded individuals. I also often meet up with new groups. I love to connect with as many people as possible, hear new stories and learn something...

The photo I’m presenting today, shot during storm Ciara, is the one that made me think about starting this Story Behind The Shot series.The story is not dissimilar to the one I narrated in a previous post. But it didn’t occur to me back then to make it into regular episodes. Starting today, this will also be a topic of my newsletter (to which you should subscribe here). Here is the story...

That’s right, this morning the brand-new Fujifilm flagship store opened its doors to the public! And of course, I was there queuing! House Of Photography is what Fujifilm calls this new “experiential concept store”. And they indeed offer all sorts of services to make you feel at home. But let’s start from the beginning… The Long Wait Historically, Fujifilm UK has never been a big player on social media. There seems to...

I often get my best results when I follow my gut feelings rather than plan for something. This story is a good testament to that. Since I returned from beautiful Georgia (more on that in a future post), the weather in London has been pretty grim and depressing. It rained almost every day, and it was generally cold and grey most of the time. This day was no exception. And frankly, there...

And so I’m packing for my month-long travel (longer, actually), and as always, the question is, “What do I bring with me?”. It wasn’t always the case, but now I’m used to travelling light. Sometimes super light. But that’s for a week maximum, while this time I’ll be away for at least a month. I think I’ve been smart in choosing to travel between countries that will have consistent weather all along;...
