Zermatt and Fuji Camera Remote Xperience
There is one feature on the Fuji X-T1 that might most of Fuji-user think it’s only a gimmick: tether the camera to smartphone/table through Wi-Fi. To be honest, at the beginning I thought the same way. This feature was somewhat created for the facebook or any social media generation, the…
Viewing my world with the TTArtisan 7.5mm F2
First and foremost, I would like to thank TTArtisan for inviting me to review this lens, and it is my privilege to do so. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that this review will not be biased and it is purely in my own opinion. Disclaimer:1. All pictures shown here were shot…
Lens Review – TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 “Swirly Bokeh”
On TTArtisan, Biotars and Adapting M42TTArtisan (not to be confused with fellow Chinese lens manufacturers 7artisans) has recently started remaking almost 1 for 1 very special and unique lenses from yesteryear, the most recent being the 75mm F1.5 based on the legendary double-gaussian Biotar design from Zeiss Jena. Before this,…
The Ultimate Camera Accessory – Is Always In Your Pocket
On a recent trip to Mexico, I was hired to shoot video and photos. As a one man team it was a challenging project to shoot both with the veracity and depth that I would have liked. I decided to shoot photos with my X-T2 as I usually do… and…
A life long search for the holy grail, “the perfect camera bag”
The need for a camera bag became an obsessional desire to find the perfect one. Flight, cases, Pelican cases, too many Billingham’s to remember. The TOG could well be the best bag I have tried.
PREMIUM
Premium/ Telephoto lenses for landscapes
Being a mostly self-taught photographer I have come across most of my ideas by simple trial and error. I usually stick with things that just feel right to me, a gut feeling. I don’t tend to look at norms or best practices as closely as perhaps I should and that…
Premium/ Photography videos that are changing (or have changed) my self-isolation
The title may lead you to think that I am isolated and that I have finished all Netflix series, all magazines and books, on paper or virtual. Or that I spend my life running to the fridge every five minutes to see if I’m hungry, or if I’ve lost control…
Premium/ I am a Documentarian
But what exactly does that mean? Before I can begin to talk about my experiences as a documentarian in earnest, we really need to understand where on the photography family tree it sits. Often mistaken for journalistic photography or overshadowed by its trendy urban cousin, street photography, documentary photography rarely…
Premium/ The same procedure each time…?
I plan the route, do some research, pack my bag, check my lenses, control the batteries and prepare some food before I start my adventures. It always makes my day when I succeed in managing all these things in order to enjoy a well planned trip to one of these…
Premium/ Documentary Project | Module 6 – Working with the available light
Documentary photography may involve a lot of portraiture work, but unlike the studio photographer who can manipulate light through the use of flashes and diffusers, documentary photographers have to work with available light. But it isn’t necessarily natural light only. As the name implies, it refers to light emitted from…
Fuji X-T family
Anelore
Since 2019 we have been affected by a pandemic that has destroyed normality for the majority of the world’s population. Social distancing creates uncertainty about the future, and this leads to increased anxiety and depression. Losing our family members, friends, getting away from everything and isolating ourselves creates a state of constant depression. At the […]

Why the 50-140mm f/2.8 lens was the one that made me switch systems
Back when I was a Canon guy, there was one single aspect that was stopping me from switching to Fuji: the Canon 70-200 F/2.8 IS. This lens was my most used, most trusted workhorse of all time. I happily spent thousands for every new version that came out and I…
An addiction to “storytelling” moments in Sports Photography
Meath vs Cork in the All Ireland Final 1988. Meath player, Gerry McEntee (on the right) professes his innocence after fouling a Cork player in the centre of the image. Four other Cork players (arranged in a semi-circle) are pointing at Gerry McEntee, as the guilty party. In sports photography,…
Sound is never invisible
In this poetic and visually immersive reflection, Edoardo Sandulli explores the powerful intersection of sound, nature and human connection through Sound Greenfall, a project by Sofia Boarino presented at the 2025 Venice Biennale. Rooted in bioacoustics and sensory experience, the piece inspired Sandulli’s evocative short film, blending experimental cinematography, analogue…

The uninhibited and the redundant ones: Roaming with X-A1 and X-M1 in 2024
Let me jump to conclusions this time (with elaborations further down): these two bodies are my most used cameras. They work well as a pair. Their size, ease, straightforwardness, and, most importantly, lack of customizable options, render them very suitable for my use (shooting only JPGs, with only two settings…
