Fujifilm Instax SP-2! An ingeniously fun printing alternative!

Most people choose to share their images on social media platforms. From the professional photographers through to the humble family shots taken by adoring parents or grandparents. If you take photos of your family and can be bothered to keep photo albums, then typically at some point you are heading off to the local photo…

Chasing Light on the Streets – Melbourne

Circumstances have meant that for the most part my street photography sessions take place during the day. Why? Well I have children and so I fit in street photography sessions during school hours on week days and when I can get family to be with my youngest during the weekend. And that is great for…

Street Photography with the Fujifilm XF14mmF2.8.

It is interesting as a photographer of any genre that you will get advice or direction as to what a specific lens focal length is used for. Plenty of commentators on social media, blogs and YouTube will be very specific about this kind of thing and will even say things like ‘you should never use…

My Street Photography Camera Bag – ONA The Bowery

Like most photographers I know that suffer some form of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), I am forever searching for a ‘better’ bag to carry my camera gear. It is an endless pursuit as our gear changes regularly or the needs of the day require different gear to be with me. Or, at times, it is…

Melbourne Streets in Monochrome – Volume 2

Melbourne can be such a riot of colour and activity that is may sometimes beg the questions why shoot in black and white? I honestly don’t have a great answer. I like the way that monochrome photography creates a more even playing field. Colour offers no distraction to the subjects or the colours in the…

Melbourne in Monochrome in Squares

Looking for inspiration in any art form can be tricky. We are all triggered by different things. I came to realise that as photographers we often take for granted the framing we use in capturing, seeing and editing photos. So on a fine Melbourne day I chose to shoot in 1:1 crop – or more…

Travel Plans – Tokyo 2017 – Fujifilm X70

Last year when I travelled to Japan my kit was far too heavy. Even for Fujifilm. I took with me my X-T1, 23mmF1.4, 16mmF1.4, 18-135mm, 27mmF2.8 – that 18-135mm is heavy. And to make matters worse – one slightly drunken afternoon in Kyoto – I walked into Yodobashi Camera Store and purchased the 50-140mm! Thankfully,…

Prahran – Melbourne – Fujifilm X70

I grew up in a fairly vanilla suburb in Melbourne. Not a lot happened on the streets. There just wasn’t a scene unless you count the gangs of kids on their BMX’s. I lived with my parents in the home I had lived all my life until around my 21st Birthday. They are still there…
