If you follow my Stories on Instagram , you know that I just returned from my trip to Istanbul… And I immediately felt the need to publish these tips for photographing strangers! This trip was a game-changer for my Street Photography, and here I'm sharing all I did to capture street portraits. In these past days in Istanbul, my Street Photography was pulled to a completely different place. This beautiful city has...
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 MoreHave you ever heard of the HOYA Sparkle filters before? Me neither. But it looks like this is about to change as Hoya is investing more in marketing to push these. Since I moved to my new studio, quite a few agencies have approached me, offering collaborations. Among them is the professional video, photo and broadcast supplier Holdan who distributes Hoya, as well as Samyang and others. I already use some Hoya...
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 MoreThis is now Episode 5 of my Fujifilm GFX 50S II In Florence mini-series… And this time is a good ol' vlog. :) If you haven't watched the rest, here's the playlist link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PcVN… In this episode, I take an unbeaten path with the GFX 50S II in Florence to reach a gorgeous viewpoint.

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...

Read MoreWith all the content I produced on my trip to Florence, a proper tribute to the indisputable hero of its skyline, the Duomo di Firenze, had to be made! And here I'm doing what no Florentine has ever done before. All 1000+ steps of the Florence Duomo in one day! To give you beautiful 360° views of Florence from above :) As you know, I've had the opportunity to test Fujifilm's new...
Read MoreThe Fujifilm X Summit Prime 2021 just ended, and among the news we now have a new GFX camera: the GFX 50S Mark II. Fujifilm approached me a few months ago to ask if I wanted to test the new camera while still in development. And of course I said yes. I could not tell anything to anyone or publish any content until today's event, but now it's the time! The Fujifilm...
Read MoreI just received my first dose of Covid vaccine! Some people have strong opinions against vaccines… Personally, I don't understand the fuss based on a fake reseaarch, but I do respect every opinion. But to me, this is a big deal! And it can be for the future of my channel as well! You see: my photography used to take me abroad for the majority of my time, travelling around the world...
Read MoreHere is my Photographer's Everyday Carry (EDC). EDC includes all the nifty tools you always carry with you that may come in handy to overcome simple everyday unexpected problems. The famous “I'll bring that, just in case…” Think of these items as the spare tire in your car, but more likely to be used (hopefully) ;) I suppose in this digital age, even phone apps may count as EDC… Perhaps, this may...
