The Fujifilm X100V in wedding and couple photography

An unexpected journey
I grew up in a very small seaside town called Cromer, ‘The Gem of the Norfolk Coast’ as it’s known. A town where everyone knows everyone, and nothing really ever changes.

Prague and a good pair of shoes
There are places in the world whose origins are intertwined with stories and legends with a golden thread. Prague, with its smoky atmosphere, the baroque churches that stand severe against the leaden sky and the old-looking buildings has always been a source of inspiration. Fuji X100F . f/8 . 1/250″…
My initial dream
Since I got my first full manual analogue camera, I wished for a digital one with the same look and feel but *capable of* producing film-like results on JPEG. Something like a Canon AT-1 with an SD card full of photos that look like “FUJIFILM industrial 100” or “Kodak Portra…
She Said / He Said
Dear Florin, You told me you once thought that if you were to point your camera lens at a human being, you would somehow cause their disappearance. I will be forever amused by this idea because, I, being one of the subjects you often direct your lens to, have at…
